Without fuss & feathers, a lean, wiry figure walked into the White House last week, hung his hat up on a peg to which it was accustomed and went quietly to work in the office next to President Hoover's. It was Edward T. ("Ted") Clark, longtime confidential secretary to Calvin Coolidge. Unannounced, Theodore ("Ted") Joslin, the President's No. 1 secretary, had departed overnight for an indefinite vacation and Ted Clark had been called in to substitute. President Hoover could hardly have gotten a better man to help him through the ardors of the campaign...
...married that most handsome and eligible of contemporary Princetonians, Harold McCormick. The newspapers called her the Princess of Standard Oil. He was the Prince of International Harvester. She was a demure little blonde, with a high forehead, grey eyes and a mass of ringlets under her hat. She swam, skated, rode a horse and bicycle, but preferred to read and study.

Last May at the Des Moines Fair Grounds bushy-haired Milo Reno, in baggy trousers and a five-gallon Stetson hat. made a loud, fiery speech to 10,000 farmers in behalf of a producers' strike. In cowbarn language he proposed a Farmers Holiday Association to execute the strike. He would organize and head it-at $5 per day, to be paid by a 50? levy on all members...
...White Star Liner Britannic put in at Boston last week. Down the gangplank walked a handsome, fox-bearded gentleman with a black slouch hat and the mysterious manner of the Chief Conspirator in an Italian opera. His name, according to the passenger list, was PROFESSOR CLARENCE SKINNER. Behind the bush of Professor Skinner newshawks instantly recognized the features of Rt. Hon. Montagu Collet Norman, Governor of the Bank of England. Governor Norman promptly boarded the Bar Harbor express to visit "Larchsea," summer home of his friend Mrs. John Markoe of Philadelphia. Governor Norman's visits...
