...Alarmed by Mr. Hopson's illness,* Senator Black asked the Department of Justice to serve a subpoena on him in Manhattan. A deputy marshal failed to find him. Not surprised by the Senate's failure was Judge John E. Mack, conducting a utilities investigation for the New York Legislature. For six months Judge Mack has been trying, with a notable lack of success, to find Mr. Hopson. At Albany last week he quoted from The Scarlet Pimpernel on Runaway Hopson: They seek him here, they seek him there...
...Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin. It was he who astounded Germany by announcing, "The Rhine- that is where our frontier lies!" (TIME, Aug. 13, 1934), which at face value would mean that between The Netherlands and Germany stands British Air Power.

Over one-half of this modern Army display...
...Abilene Hardin tangled with Hickok, then a city marshal. Although Thomas Ripley writes with frank partisanship, unearths terrible scandals in Hickok's career, unbiased readers may feel that the famed gunman nevertheless emerges as an individual of great gravity and self-control. Although Hardin's prejudices were inflamed when he heard that Yankee "Wild Bill" killed only Southerners, they got along well until Hardin once made too much noise while bowling and "Wild Bill" arrested him. Getting the drop on the marshal, Hardin cursed him as one who would shoot a boy in the back. Waiting...
