Only three things break into the Senator's smooting: 1) vaudeville; 2) golf; 3) the Washington Zoo. For diversion this stern man went every Friday night to Keith's Theatre to sit in the second row just behind the orchestra leader and gaze over the footlights in unsmiling delight. Great was his sorrow when the theatre closed. His golf came at the age of 63. Now from 6 to 7 a. m. he plays a round on the capital's public links, shooting 110 in straight cautious jabs. At the Washington Zoo Senator Smoot liked to poke around among...
Reading, Rothermere & Beaverbrook. A Jew who became Lord Chief Justice of England, then Viceroy of India, and finally Marquess of Reading is famed Rufus Daniel Isaacs. Last week he in- troduced David Lloyd George, fiery leader of the Liberal Party, to a campaign audience of 10,000 which jammed famed Albert Hall.

Yonge, Englishman, whose essays on marine science, Vueer Fish, Brentano's has just published ($2.50). Mrs. Harvey, as Dr. Ethel Nicholson Browne, taught biology at Wellesley and Cornell until their marriage in 1916. They live at Princeton, have two sons...
Central figures in the merger are Amadeo Peter Giannini (who last year secured control of Bank of America and made his brother Attilio Giannini chairman of its board) and Elisha Walker, leader of Blair & Co. With the acquisition of Blair & Co., Mr. Giannini has given his Bank of America a potent investment banking organization that will secure him an entrance into many an investment syndicate that Bancamerica does not reach. Sensational has been Blair & Co.'s success in recent years, its oil operations having culminated in the organization of the recently formed Petroleum Corp., $100,000,000 oil investment...
