Prosperous Portraitist Paul Chabas, 66, summoned reporters to his Paris studio last week to kill one news story and make another. He had just finished a portrait of Mrs. Walter E. Edge, wife of President Hoover's Ambassador to France. It was not, however, that work that he wanted to talk about but the most famed picture he ever painted-September Morn...
...District Judge Charles Irvin Dawson at Louisville, like Judge Nields at Wilmington, belongs to that huge company of Federal jurists which the Harding-Coolidge-Hoover regime left behind to plague its successors. Not only is Judge Dawson a "Block" Southern Republican but also a Businessman who resigned some years ago as board chairman of Kentucky Home Life Insurance Co. No friend, to the New Deal, he recently ruled that condemnation of private property for PWA slum clearance was beyond the Federal Government's authority. And for the second time he declared last week that the NRA Coal Code...
...Better Yourselves!" When the President of the United States and Mrs. Herbert Hoover received 98-lb. King Prajadhipok and 115-lb.

Last week when correspondents rushed to Knowle House, rented from Sir Eric Bonham, they were greeted by King Prajadhipok's dapper young secretary, wearing grey flannel trousers and a pullover beneath his coat...
...balmy summer of 1929, President Hoover's Secretary of War James William Good went to Minneapolis to help dedicate a great building. On hand for the same purpose were Congressmen, foreign delegates, seven Governors, Sousa's Band. Built with the profits from countless utility promotions and designed to resemble the Washington Monument, the 32-story structure was equipped with sumptuous living quarters for its owner, whose name was displayed in great black letters on all four sides-FOSHAY. Even more remarkable than his tower was Wilbur Burton Foshay, over whose desk used to hang the motto: "Why worry...
