This illustrated W'riter Liggett's leading, lengthy article: "Mr. Mellon's Pittsburgh-Symbol of Corruption." Other features: "News Behind The News," a querulous "debunking" of the fortnight's political and economic news; "Children Are Starving" by one Lillian Symes; political pin-sticking by Robert S. Allen (Washington Merry-Go-Round) ; a radical spectator...
