...suit herself. Having completed her 50th crossing of the Atlantic, she rolled up from Rio with 21 passengers including a 10-month-old baby, picked up Miami's Mayor Sewell, and made for Akron, Ohio. It was after dusk when Dr. Hugo Eckener pointed the ship's nose down through driving rain into the floodlights of the Good-year-Zeppelin dock at Akron. A sharp gust whipped her tail (which now sports the Nazi swastika). Safe-playing Dr. Eckener knew the ship could not be docked in such a ground wind; rather than ride the night...
...keen nose has Correspondent Barnes for the family that Dictator Stalin so scrupulously keeps out of sight. Two years ago, comparatively new to Moscow, he flushed Stalin's second wife, Vasya's mother, Nadya Alliluieva, young, shy and serious, in an industrial school studying to become manager of a synthetic silk factory. When she died last November of peritonitis, appendicitis or poison (she was supposed to have tasted everything prepared for her husband several hours before he ate it), she arose from public anonymity in a magnificent Moscow funeral.

If the Democrats put through such an imbecile piece of legislation, they will make themselves the laughing-stock of the very young men whom they hope will cast a vote for their party when they reach...
...York Jockey Club tackled a nasty job last week at Jamaica, L. I. A race had been won by a horse named Garden Message, owned by George Herbert ("Pete") Bostwick. the country's No. 1 gentleman-jockey. After the race the track veterinary found a sponge in the nose of Sweeping Light, which had finished third. Then the doctor examined Garden Message, voiced the shocking opinion that the Bostwick horse had been stimulated for the race. Garden Message's trainer stoutly denied it. For Owner Bostwick, who was honeymooning abroad, his friends protested bitterly. Nevertheless the stewards barred...
