...anything goes wrong at the Coronation, to blame will be the young Duke of Norfolk, who is "officially responsible." But so much of the ceremony is performed by the Archbishop of Canterbury that any vital mistake will just about have to be made by this Primate of All England. Last week the possibility that motion pictures, the first ever to be taken of a Coronation ceremony in the Abbey, may afford proof of a slip was masterfully dealt with in London. The five cinema firms involved were called on the carpet, forced to promise they will release not a single...
While such matters as these gripped the minds of the British Cabinet last week, a Coronation problem too tough for the Duke of Norfolk's Court of Claims to solve had to be referred for decision by King George. The problem: since the Joint Hereditary Lord Great Chamberlain of England, Lord Ancaster, has the undoubted right to receive "His Majesty's night robe" in which the King sleeps the night before the Coronation, what is to be done in view of the fact that King George VI sleeps in pajamas?

Some $25.000 was spent by the Howards doing over and refurnishing apartments in one of their castles to be occupied on a brief visit of Queen Victoria, and the present Duke treasures in a glass case the parting gift to his late father bestowed by Her Majesty.

...whole failed to earn fixed charges and in 1935 only broke even, in 1936 they showed a profit of $155,000,000. Not all lines shared this good fortune. Missouri Pacific will probably be $8,000,000 in the red; Rock Island was $13,000,000. But Norfolk & Western made $33,000,000 in 1936 as against $25,000,000 year before, Chesapeake & Ohio $43.000,000 as against $31,000,000, Pennsylvania $38,000,000 as against $23,000,000, Nickel Plate $7,000.000 as against $1,000,000. A particularly good sign was that the pace of improvement quickened...
