...Wilmington, N. C. last August, Mrs. Annie Mae Gannon's cat littered in her boarding house. First came one normal, one tailless and one bobtailed kitten. Twelve hours later Mrs. Gannon's cat bore what looked like a splotched, botched Boston bull pup. Colored black, yellow and white, it had long, sharply pointed ears, short whiskers, stub tail, short doggish hair. Unlike cat or dog it was born with eyes open. And it could crawl at once. As it grew up it made noises like a cat, sniffed and gnawed bones like a dog. It rested with...
...first of the palms for acting is probably won by John M. Graham, '38, president of the club, and picaresque heroine of the current show.

McKeown who warmly contends that the fact that Mrs. Clarke has been married at all makes a difference. Said he: "After all, the children were not born out of wedlock. ... I may appeal from the decision." Mrs. Clarke was resigned, declared: "It was just a gamble anyway...
Left practically nothing by her famed flying husband who crashed with Will Rogers in Alaska 18 months ago (TIME, Aug. 26, 1935), but paid $25,000 by Congress for his world-girdling airplane Winnie Mae, Mrs. Wiley Post enrolled in an Oklahoma City secretarial school...
