...them to a muddy ditch outside a cemetery in Niles Center. There, wrapped in a blanket, they found a small, naked corpse. There were eight bullet wounds in its legs, one big one in its belly beneath a wad of bloody cotton. A downy mustache was on its upper lip and four finger tips had been scarred by file and acid. But by prints of the unscarred fingers police quickly assured themselves that the round, blank face, now horribly contorted, was that of "Baby Face" Nelson. In Cook County's morgue his body was stretched on the same rubber slab...
That The White Parade is still a more than usually handsome and well-acted program picture is due to the facts that Producer Jesse Lasky has a flair for surface values and that Loretta Young, when she can control the wobblings of her lower lip, is an actress as skillful and sensitive as she is presentable.

Unlike tuna fishing where bait is used and the fish is permitted to swallow the bait, in salmon fishing, the salmon merely strikes at the feather and the fisherman must set his hook...
...Dealers are trying this fall to elect a Congress of men who are unfriendly to the AAA and unfriendly to the farmers except in superficial lip service. They hope to do away with the processing tax. They recently have been pointing out the fact of the most extraordinary drought in 40 years as an argument for abandoning the entire agricultural adjustment program. This effort to use the fact of the drought as an attack on the Agricultural Adjustment program is typical of the shortsighted leadership of the Republican Party from...
