Jocularly Canadians were remarking that John Buchan's new title, Baron Tweedsmuir, "sounds like some new kind of suiting," but most of them were in a mood to greet indulgently the smallish, sharp-nosed, pucker-lipped Scot. Due to land at Quebec on Oct. 24 from the Empress of Britain, Lord & Lady Tweedsmuir were the prey of seafaring autograph hunters this week. Bandied merrily were the Scottish jokes which the brilliant historian, novelist and Governor-General is so adept at working in at a captain's dinner...
...greet a hero, Berliners flocked out to their great Tempelhof Air Drome last week amid blaring brass bands and goose-stepping Special Guards of Realmleader Hitler's crack detachment. Soon a big plane coasted down out of the hot sky. From it stepped a heavy-set Nurnberger with a closely-cropped head. Beneath his scowling brows and knifelike nose twitched a small black "Hitler mustache." Not in Nazi regalia, the hero wore a Palm Beach suit and his perspiring head gleamed hatless in the sun.

...apprenticed to a wholesale jeweler, but truant officers made him quit.

...like a bad investment in 1931 and 1932, is currently responsible for most of Inland's profits. Leopold Block is the financial head and used to be the top salesman. In the company's salad days he was not above going down to the railroad station to greet incoming purchasing agents as they stepped off the train. But Salesman Block never used high-pressure methods. Amiable, gentle, softspoken, he resembles the oldtime drummer only in that he continually smokes a long black cigar...
...last week plump, dark-haired Widow Pansy Yount, Founder Lee and six other stockholders met in a private room at First National Bank of Houston. On hand to greet them was a Houston lawyer named Wright Morrow. In Lawyer Morrow's checking account at First National was a credit of approximately $46,000,000. Among the eight stockholders he distributed a handful of checks, also totaling $46,000,000, drawn on his account. In return he received all the stock of the Yount-Lee Oil Co. at a price of approximately $2,190 per share. Biggest check went...
