Sirs: "The first man-child ever born a king," as TIME puts it, probably was not Alphonso XIII, but one of the old Persian or Parthian kings, whose name I am unable to remember, although you, doubtless, can find it. The monarch referred to may have been Chosroes, but, whoever he was, he was born some time after the death of his father, whose demise made imperative the selection of a new king. Since the queen was with child, and since the astrologers said that it was a boy, the crown was carried in and placed upon the queen above...
...third famed official yacht is the Apo, assigned to the Governor-General of the Philippines. She, too, was without an official user last week, owing to the departure of Statesman Stimson for the U.S. (see col. 2). As the Amelia she was built in Scotland for King Carlos of Portugal when his son Manuel was a dashingly amorous prince. Many were the joyrides aboard her for the late, luscious actress Gaby Deslys (real name : Madeline Caire, 1884-1920). Manuel first espied Gaby in a disrobing act in a London music hall. Her baby-blue eyes went straight to his heart...
...leaders of Great Britain's three political parties. The secret had leaked out−after months of official concealment−that President William T. Cosgrave of the Irish Free State has been challenging the authority of the Crown Council as at present constituted. All ordinary powers of the King-Emperor were signed over by stricken George V (TIME, Dec. 17), to this Council, which consists of the Prime Minister, Lord High Chancellor, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Duke of York, Edward of Wales and Queen Mary, who has thus far presided. Cables from Dublin revealed that the Irish Free...

Slick, the king of all "wildcatters," credited with being the largest individual oil operator in the world, completed the sale of all his producing lands to the Prairie Oil & Gas Co. These properties-cream of the Seminole, Kay, Kansas, and North Texas fields-yield 34,000 barrels a day, and will bring Prairie's gross daily production up to about 105,000 barrels. They put into Producer Slick's pocket between...
Thus when Asa Griggs Candler, onetime (1889-1919) Coca-Cola King died last week in a hospital which he had founded overlooking a university which he had endowed, the company which he had so long managed belonged unquestionably to U. S. Big Business. During 1928, Coca-Cola showed a net of $10,189,000, an earning of $10.19 per share. At 105,000 soda fountains U.S. citizens were saying "Give me a Coca-Cola." At 600,000 retail outlets the corrugated little Coca-Cola bottle was being dispensed. Thirsty wayfarers in the U. S. and in 75 foreign countries consumed...
