...National Revenue at Ottawa. An expert advocate of the Canadian sales tax who had addressed William Randolph Hearst's junketeers last year on the subject (TIME, Nov. 30), Mr. Jones traveled to Washington. There he was seen to be a lean, vigorous-looking individual with hair like Bernarr Macfadden's, features like Henry Ford's. To the Ways & Means Committee he last week explained the smooth and successful workings of Canada's 4% manufacturers' tax. The public, he said, hardly noticed it. By licensing manufacturers it was easy to administer...

Publisher Kobler objected to Winchell's appearance in vaudeville. He objected to Winchell's radio broadcasts (currently for Lucky Strike), charging that he gave out news to which the paper was first entitled. He removed the colyumist's smart, pert secretary Ruth Cambridge from the payroll (Winchell...
...Graphic explained its "composograph" (a famed old Graphic device which had fallen into disuse during Publisher Macfadden's absence) in a subsequent issue: "It is a prison rule that no cameras are allowed in the execution chamber. The Graphic's editors would not wish to print the actual photograph of the execution in any event." But the Graphic's editors did their best to make the full-page picture look as much as possible like a repetition of the Daily News's exploit of printing an actual photograph of Ruth Snyder in the electric chair...
