...Union Pacific R. R. and Harriette Flora Gray, the Golden Rule Foundation's Mother-of-the-Year for 1937 (TIME. May 3, 1937). Perennial president of his Princeton class (1923), as famed in college for his unobtrusive Christianity as for his athletic ability (varsity football end), this model son of model parents is recognized by the Doctors Mayo as their crack stomach surgeon. Because Son James Roosevelt's stomach ulcer failed to respond to rest and diet last summer (TIME, Aug. 22) he returned to the clinic last week. "Howdie" Gray was named to operate. President Roosevelt called...
...friend when he sees the ankle grabbed by an octopus, as Cartoonist Jerry Doyle of the New York Post observed (see cut). Editor Dawson, three days after his "sawing" editorial, made amends.

Including the new plant, Wedgwood's assets total some $2,500,000. Profit is a secret, but dividends have been paid every year except 1929-33 since the company's founding...
...rubber floors on which children could not be hurt, or the fog gun for washing dishes, judged Mr. Fuller's proposal that the house be set up by being dropped from a Zeppelin a little visionary.
