...Canada, where seizure of private property is repugnant to every Methodist fibre of rich and pious Premier Richard Bedford Bennett, the project of reducing the gold content of the Canadian dollar-without confiscation-became an active issue in the Dominion Press. Usually well posted, Toronto's Globe said that Premier Bennett was expected shortly to ask Parliament to devalue the Canadian dollar...
...LEVEL - Anne Parrish - Harper ($2.50). Modern Magellans pay cash not only for the privilege of circumnavigating the globe but for the doubtful pleasure of doing it in each other's company.

His column in the Amarillo News-Globe, The Tactless Texan, has given Gene Howe more than his neighborly nickname "Old Tack.'' He got himself nationally quoted in 1928, when he called Lindbergh "swell-headed . . . simple-minded . . . lucky"; in 1929, when he said that Mary Garden was "so old she actually tottered." When Mary Garden visited Amarillo for the second time...
