In a welter of rage he then drafted a letter informing President Doumergue that he could not form a cabinet...
...banking is not yet a fact. Many a U. S. citizen however believes that it soon will be. Of these none believes more devoutly than Mr. Amadeo Peter Giannini, president of Transamerica Corp.

...club's purpose is to insure happier tail-wagging in all U. S. dog-homes. Careful records are kept of all dog-members, including peculiarities (such as a hoarse bark, a missing eye, discolored teeth). A number-tag is attached to each member's collar and when he strays the finder telephones or telegraphs the Tail-Waggers who notify the owner if and when the lost is found. Other advantages are free medical advice, six months' subscription to The Tail Wagger, official organ of the Tail Waggers' Club. The fee is $1 a year. Dogs have...
