...establishment in 1913, to warrant its demise. The technicality of the law passed by the General Court with regard to the legal practice of people not members of the Massachusetts Bar formed an unwelcome obstacle to further service of this kind. As the Bureau is reestablished, supervised by Vernon Marr, the experienced Boston attorney, who will make appearances before the courts of law on its behalf, there should be no ignore curtailment of its activities...
...companies won exemption. To Sacramento went a handsome young proprietress of a beauty shop chain: stores selling wares "incidental to personal service" were exempted. That probably let out the dental parlor chain of "Painless Parker." Chief target remained the 1,274 stores of food chains, Safeway, Piggly Wiggly, Mac Marr, Pay'n Takit, but also hit were such chains as Woolworth, Kress, Newberry, Penney, Walgreen.

Platonic friendships are even more suspect in Hollywood than elsewhere. Nevertheless Paul Bern's reputation as a kindly, disinterested bachelor was such that even...
...where artists and buyers dickered face to face over sales (TIME, May 2, June 13). Last week Chicago's artists swarmed into Grant Park, set their pictures on park benches or the ground and stood ready for buyers. Of the 200, able painters were Ivan Lorraine and Malvin Marr Albright, Mrs. Vivian Hoyt and Raymond Katz. In a welter of bad art, the artists were gay, buyers tolerant. Young buyers bought nudes, older ones "parlor pieces" of still life and landscape, totaling over $1,000 a day. Finally hoboes and Illinois Central commuters so jammed Grant Park that...
