There was never a cow in all Normandy, or for that matter in all of France, that was so celebrated as Marie II. Dappled brown and white and the picture of contentment, Marie poured out milk so plentiful and creamy that she won blue ribbons by the score and, on one occasion, was bussed on both brown cheeks by President Coty of France. Cattle connoisseurs paid millions of francs for Marie's offspring, and Marie repaid their confidence. She broke the world record last year by producing a phenomenal 24,967 Ibs. in 330 days-enough...

One visiting Russian last week credited Iowa's prosperity to good weather. "Our rainfall is so much less," he said. At the end of their first week in Iowa, the Russians had said nothing...
...movie and theater owners estimate that they lose $30 million worth of business every year because patrons cannot find places to park. Because of Manhattan's jammed curbs, double parking and choked streets, a dairy-route man in a modern truck delivers only 25 cases of milk daily, about 60% of what a route man with a horse and wagon could handle 25 years...
