...Peiping, a swift kick by a Japanese sentry found its mark last week in the stomach of attractive Miss Carol Lathrop, 18 (see cut), sister-in-law of a U. S. Marine captain stationed in North China. Weeping, but not greatly injured, Miss Lathrop then got a kick in the side, and a Mrs. Jones with whom she had been out for a stroll, received a powerful kick in the behind from another Japanese sentry. Vigorous protests by U. S. Ambassador to China Nelson T. Johnson were unavailing last week as Japanese officials maintained there had been "no violence." Sniffed...
...Miss Lathrop and Mrs. Jones were thus treated in just about the same way as were Chinese troops of the 2Qth Army commanded by Peiping General Sung Cheh-yuan this week. Japanese Lieut. General Kiyoshi Kazuki grew tired of what seemed to him the stubborn slowness of Chinese forces to yield to his demands that they clear out of North China (TIME, July 26). In an action which Japanese officials described as "maintaining prestige," General Kazuki had Japanese airmen heavily bomb Langfang, a station between Peiping and Tientsin on the railway from which area he was insisting that the Chinese...
...William B. Cogswell, widow of a rich Rensselaer alumnus who pioneered the Belgian Solvay chemical processes (soda products, coke) in the U. S., helped form giant Allied Chemical & Dye Corp. in 1920. Mr. Cogswell died in 1921, his wife last year in Manhattan.

When either Miss Browning...
Last week the mayor's two appointees voted "aye" to the Ronnebeck design, carried it over another member's silence and Miss Evans' "no." Next day a spokes-man for Denver's women's clubs snorted that they had been "basely betrayed." Commissioner Evans resigned. Said she: "Mr. Ronnebeck's conception of Rising City ... is childish. . . . The sculptural forms seem to be commonplace. . . . To me it is clear that the Commission was packed...
Saratoga was practically complete when its star died last month of cerebral edema. For the few remaining sequences, mostly in the middle of the picture, director Jack Conway used longshots of a double so adroitly that cinemaddicts are not likely to detect Miss Harlow's absence. Good shots: the flamingos at Miami's Hialeah Park; Duke Bradley's assistant (Cliff Edwards) singing a race-track ballad "The Horse with the Dreamy Eyes," in a crowded car on the track special from Maryland; Bradley making book...
