Early one evening last week a heavy rainstorm drenched New Jersey. At the Passaic Home & Orphan Asylum, six boys -Jacob Merlnizek, John Murdock, Douglas Fleming, Rudolph Borsche' Frank & Michael Mazzola, all between 11 and 15-were worried. Maybe their baseball field was washing away. They cunningly approached their matron. Didn't she want to know if the rain had damaged her garden? She did. She said they might go out if they were careful to put on raincoats and rubbers. A quick look at the garden showed that it was all right. Closer inspection of the baseball diamond...
...heaves and swells his chest at Minnie Mouse, meets grievous setbacks, shrilly gives fight and taps out marvels of dancing, bullfighting, footballing.* Like his predecessor in world popularity, Charlie Chaplin, he has "the wistfulness of ... a little fellow trying to do the best he can." In Germany he is Michael Maus, in France Michel Souris, in Japan Miki Kuchi, in Denmark Mikkel Mus and in Spain Miguel Ratonocito. Last week he became Art. In Manhattan's Kennedy Galleries art critics piously eyed a collection of original Mickey Mouse cartoons from the Walt Disney Studios in Hollywood. Wrote one, "Genius...

Out of his invention grew the great Owens Bottle Co. of Toledo. Four years ago a merger made Owens Bottle into Owens-Illinois Glass Co., biggest U. S. bottle maker, producer of 40% of U. S. bottles, and made William Edward Levis its active head. Last week William Edward Levis gave signs of introducing another revolution to the bottle business, vertical integration of a new kind: Owens-Illinois having acquired a 40,000-share interest...
...Even more remarkable than the record of the Optimists-who have won the Indoor Championship three times in the last four years-was the way they organized for last week's game. Month ago, Winston Guest was in London, just back from lion-shooting in Africa. His cousin Michael Phipps called him up from Florida, urged him to reorganize their team. Guest flew to board the Bremen, flew from Manhattan to Virginia to inspect his ponies, played one practice game in Manhattan and took train for Chicago. Iglehart got word in Paris, came over on the Berengaria, played...
