...served chiefly to entertain the hill-sliding Stevens brothers. But sliding down a hill is less a vocation for the Stevens family than a recreation from more vigorous exertions. J. Hubert Stevens is an expert aviator, golfer, outboard motorboat racer. Curtis is good at golf and motorboating, prefers the latter. Raymond Stevens pitched ably on the 1914 Yale baseball team. Every autumn all four Stevens brothers spend two months hunting and trapping in the Adirondacks or wilder Canada. Other expert U. S. bobbers are Henry ("Hank") Homburger, Saranac, N.

A check for the latter amount was finally left in the stump and next day Joe Bryant presented it for payment at the Roanoke bank designated. His story when arrested was that he had "just happened to find it" at 5 p. m. the day before...
Despite Sir Ronald's statement "everything has been arranged between President-elect Roosevelt and myself." negotiations will continue until Prime Minister James Ramsay MacDonald is thoroughly convinced that a settlement has virtually been reached or is virtually impossible. In the latter case Scot MacDonald will not go to the U. S. at all and Britain will quietly default. In the former happy case, Britain's snowy-haired Prime Minister will go with appropriate fanfare to sleep once more in the White House, will "agree" with President Roosevelt on debts as he "agreed" with President Hoover on naval disarmament...
