...President's decision did not instantly clear away all his difficulties. The Federal Reserve Act prohibits the appointment of more than one board member from any of the dozen reserve districts throughout the land. New York is already represented on the Board by Vice Governor Edmund Plate, Poughkeepsie publisher, onetime (1913-21) Congressman. Last week the President was pictured as trying to "circumvent" the law in such a way as to get Mr. Meyer on the board. Circumvention, however, was unnecessary when Vice Governor Platt conveniently resigned to join Marine Midland Corp., thus making way on the Board...
...thing no one argues-Shamrock V is handsome. Hers is a gull-shaped green body, striped with a white boot-top at the waterline, the light swell amidships giving a look of speed.

The Kleins fed their wandering friend (he used to mail the Klein children sticks of gum with a dime slipped under each wrapper), tried to put him to bed. He insisted on sleeping on a mattress, on the attic floor. Refreshed, he insisted he must go on from Cincinnati to Staunton, Va., Woodrow...
...forty-fifth minute of the "Two Hours of Silence" ticked, leading Wafdists with police whistles stationed themselves beside the barrows full of brickbats, blew and blew. Swiftly an immense Wafdist mob collected, seizing the brickbats, hurled them through plate glass windows with such suddenness that shopkeepers had not time to lower their steel shutters. When police appeared the brickbats flew thicker...
