Lincolns for '42 include Zephyrs, Customs, Continentals. The low-priced Zephyrs feature a two-step, boxlike front end, rectangular fenders. The Customs, available in "formal or semiformal" body styles, sacrifice no dignity for the sake of streamlining. Swankiest of all are the long, low-swung Continentals, crown jewel of Ford engineering. Squarish rear decks and little gingerbread give them a European air. Lincoln horsepower...
...done something about it. Last week its League of Arts & Crafts put on its eighth annual fair in the hockey rink at Dartmouth College, Hanover. Attendance: 20,000. Sales: $10,000. On exhibition: the work of 2,000 Yankee citizens-tatting, wood carving, pottery, linoleum block prints, ironwork, jewel cutting (semiprecious stones), pins made from pine cones, baskets, buckwheat flour, etc. Most of it was spare time work done in back-street shops or snowbound, lamplit New England farmhouses.

Because there is no market for diamonds that big, Owner Harry Winston, Manhattan jewel merchant, decided to have it cut into 23 smaller diamonds, ranging from five to 50 carats each...
...film should just be a dated straggler on the U. S. screen. Yet Director Julien Duvivier's camera has caught such an accurate X-ray of a tortured mind, it deserves a gold star on any list. Pépé (Jean Gabin) is a jaunty Parisian jewel thief driven to bay in the Casbah, filthy, crowded native quarter of Algiers. There, like a stallion in a pasture of geldings, he rules the thieves and cutthroats, lives with a devoted but depressing native girl (Line Noro), dreams of the bright life of Paris. The decay...
