Officially the Irak Government blamed the crisis not on Rebel Yaku but on the Assyrian Patriarch Mar Shimun, who was deported last week with his father and brother. At once the British Government offered these exiles asylum on the Island of Cyprus to which they flew in a British R.A.F. plane and demanded that King Feisal stay in Bagdad to punish the guilty - whether Christian or Mohammedan. To the Irak Legation in London falcon-eyed King Feisal promptly cabled: "Although everything is normal now in Irak, and in spite of my broken health, I shall await the arrival...
...Mary Baker Eddy had been possessed by a God, and if the God now resided in her great-grandson, that young man might resemble a Japanese young man who last week was journeying exuberantly through the U.S. Shozen Nakayama, 28, is Patriarch of Tenrikyo, a Shinto sect claiming 5,000,000 followers throughout the world.

August Jr. is vice president of the company but August himself is still the sidewhiskered patriarch of U. S. beer, hurling to the last his verbal thunderbolts at Prohibition. While Missouri had the greatest brewery of the U. S., New York produced more than twice as much beer as any other state.

...fact that Jesse Isidor Straus speaks French fluently undoubtedly weighed in favor of his being sent to France instead of staying home as Secretary of Commerce. Aged 60, he takes his job of a Harvard Overseer seriously. Even more seriously does he take the job of being patriarch to his clan of children and grandchildren, whom he keeps together in a Park Avenue apartment building which he built for the purpose. He is also patriarchal toward his 8,000 employes at Macy's, who call him "Mr. Jesse." Last week Mr. Jesse summoned them, asked them to write letters...
