...With proper pomp Michael MacWhite presented himself at the White House one afternoon last week and said he was King George's new Minister from the Irish Free State. President Hoover, in U. S. diplomatic uniform,* received him in the Blue Room. Offering his letter of credence Minister MacWhite said: "My government has entrusted to me the very agreeable mission of conveying to you their most sincere good wishes for the continued and increasing prosperity of the great people whose destinies are committed to your care."

Historic Gamle† Oslo was founded by potent Harold Haardraada about 1050, and petite Princess Martha comes to reign-eventually-over a proud little city which was already old when her own rich and extensive Stockholm was founded upon mud flats and granite in 1255 by Birger, Jarl (Earl) of Bjelbo. Last week, on the very site of the Jarl's first great hall...
