...Minister of the Interior Albert Sarraut. Working fast and furiously to save their reputations, the French secret police, assisted by the Jugoslav police, had uncovered by the week's end, the following "facts": Alexander's assassin, hacked to pieces by police sabres and bullets, was a fat young man named Petrus Kalemen, later said to be Vlada Georgieff. On his arm was tattooed the motto and device of a Mace donian secret society known as IMRO. The weapon with which the murders were committed was a huge ungainly Mauser automatic pistol of the latest type which sprays...
Last week, for the first time in 29 years, Yale played Columbia again under different conditions. Opening his season against last year's Rose Bowl Champions was a trying test for Yale's new coach, "Ducky" Pond.

Between turns, bland oldtime...

Into Publisher Hearst's purse clink fat profits from national advertisers at $16,000 a page. Weary of trying to battle Hearst singly on the Sunday front, eleven competitors, led by the Chicago Tribune, banded together two years ago to sell comic section advertising for the group.

Anybody with a few pennies and a big pot can make soap from fat and caustic soda. The only trick is to make the soap strong enough to take off the dirt but not so strong as to take off the skin. Selling soap is another matter. And soap is moulded, colored, perfumed, chipped, flaked, powdered and blown through the end of a nozzle for the sole purpose of making a housewife buy one soap instead of another. Indeed, the defense went further last week, arguing that the form of Ivory Snow, Supersuds or Rinso had little to do with...
