...TIME, Feb.2), caused horror and tragedy there last week. Near Gladewater, Sinclair Oil Company's No. I Cole well was brought in. Instantly the null gusher went wild. While 14 men were trying to get the well under control, a spark caused by tool friction suddenly turned a plenteous natural blessing into a howling inferno. Some of the workers managed to dodge out of the flames, two jumped for safety into the slush pit where they were boiled alive. The rest were quickly roasted. Fatalities, originally estimated at twelve, then nine, were finally put at seven, with two other...

...cold game pie and plenteous musty ale is sometimes offered by Edward of Wales to that small smart set which fore-gathers at his bachelor quarters in York House (a wing of St. James's Palace). Last week this sporting company chuckled as His Royal Highness displayed a cartoon of his own sketching. It showed a plump and ruddy personage, the Rt. Hon.

...Army of 1,500,000 men. Today, however, Trotsky is as threadbare as his cloak. Man and symbol they passed, last week, into a drab railway car which rumbled out of Moscow at twenty minutes after nine.
