...made several sporadic efforts to become a man of the people before he found his chance as a publisher. From 1914 until 1925 he and his cousin, Robert Rutherford McCormick, shared the running of the Chicago Tribune (which their grandfather, Joseph Medill, had founded), and Patterson was as much responsible for the common touch in its news coverage as McCormick was for its conservative editorial bias. The two conceptions did not quite jell in the Tribune and Joe Patterson did not get along with his Cousin Bertie much better than he had with other rich boys. During the War they...
Highest Paid managing editor in the U. S. is the News's Harvey Deuell, who last year drew a salary of $140,000. The managing editor of the News has to com press into one-fourth as much space enough news to keep the paper competitive with the bulky Times and Herald Tribune. News stories, unlike conventional newspaper stories, start at the beginning, move with swift narrative pace to the end. Big, shaggy Harvey Deuell learned this trick while on the city desk of the News, where he used to rewrite nearly every important story. He had a scientist...
...long speculated about "The Builder's" identity. This month Rensselaer's busy President William Otis Hotchkiss at long last told them.

...least of Pan American's headaches had been what to do with these eager trippers. The Dixie Clipper can carry 74, but sleeps only 40. Twenty-two applicants were finally booked, on a first-come-first-served basis. Many, not knowing how much the fare would be, had sent varying amounts (biggest: $1,500). The airline decided on a one-way fare of $375; round trip...
...much in salutation to the memory of England's well-loved "Old Girl" (scrapped in 1935) as in greeting to her namesake, 2,000 welcomers hallooed, waved, blew whistles, made comparisons. They found the new Mauretania a sturdier but less speedy version of the old, nearly two knots slower (average speed: 20.7 knots); less roomy (1,300 passengers); 13 feet shorter (length overall: 722 feet), but 4,000 tons heavier. Built for comfort, she will never duplicate the speed record of the "Old Girl," who held the mythical Blue Riband 22 years, until Germany's Bremen took...
