...because they do not give the better man long enough to be sure of demonstrating his superiority against the hazards of the game, are the hardest kind. In all 31, he only once had to play off a tie. At Cleveland, last week, he played 156 holes 19 under par, went through the whole tournament without taking more than five strokes on any hole, and made it apparent that his superiority to the rest of the world's amateur golfers today is at least as great as Jones's was five years...
...only major film company to show steady Depression profits. Last fiscal year it earned a whopping $9.91 per share on its common stock. Having considered these facts, the Brothers Cohn, President Harry and Vice President Jack, last week announced plans to issue 75,000 shares of no-par preferred stock paying $2.75. Part of the three or four million dollars thus raised will be used to retire a small outstanding issue of $3 preferred, the rest added to working capital.

This was a plain invitation by the Government to the public: If you are afraid of inflation, cask your bonds now and use the money to hoard commodities or anything else you think will protect yon from inflation. Little danger did the Treasury run of the public's demanding $10,000,000,000. Any bondholder who wants cash...
...point, Perry equalled the Muirfield course record of 67 made by Walter Hagen in winning the Open of 1929. A 75 would have won for Perry after that. Instead, after just missing the putt that would have given him an all-time Open low of 282. he got a par 72, handed his clubs to his caddy and went into the clubhouse to talk to reporters who had thought so little of the third Briton good enough to win the title since the War that the Associated Press neglected to include his name in the first day's lists...
