Cash-on-hand is a pretty item on any balance sheet, but if it is not earning a fair return for stockholders they are apt to question the management, hint for a special dividend. Standard Oil of New Jersey announced last week it would employ $30,600,000 of its cash by calling one-quarter of its $120,000,000 bond issue. The bonds for retirement will be drawn by lot, paid off Feb. 1 at 102%. This is the second time the big oil company has used a large amount of cash from earnings to reduce its indebtedness...
...insidious whispering campaign to shake world confidence in the U. S. dollar and force it off gold, for Viscount Rothermere is blatant, blunt. Mornings his GREAT IDEA was shrieked by his Daily Mail (circulation 1,872,418: world's largest). Evenings his Britainwide chain of provincial papers did not hint but yelled that the dollar is unsafe.

Perhaps only through such filters as Alexander platz will Joyce's strong waters be made potable to the public...
...greatest victory, and he brought back his prisoners in triumph. The Fernandez Quevedo came into Havana harbor early in the morning. Photographers and newsreel men were there on orders to take the prisoners pictures, broadcast them to the villages where the insurrectos still held out. There was no hint of the shark slide for the captured leaders. On the contrary a great show of courtesy was made-the duration of which would doubtless match the duration of the revolt. Havana regarded Machado's triumph sourly. There were no cheers, there were no crowds. General Menocal stepped ashore first, gaunt...
