...born in Crafton, Tex. I am 53 years old and as a boy I sold chicken sandwiches at the railroad station platform at Bowie. I might also add that I waited table at a hotel, sold soda-pop at the ball games and races on Saturdays, sold newspapers, worked for a doctor for two years taking care of his horse and buggy, sweeping out his office and, in addition, milked a cow-all for my board to enable me to go to school. I am not sensitive as to my age or ashamed of my early efforts to earn...
Retail Stores must be on the street level, on a main thoroughfare in a business centre, not less than 700 ft. apart (1.500 ft. apart in cities over 1,000,000 pop.) and not less than 200 ft. from any church or school.

He turned to an aide. "Hand me that sword!" he commanded. That same day the Treasury announced its refunding program, promised sound money at least until April...
...Pop went the cork, and Cuba's President Ramon Grau San Martin gratefully drained a glass of champagne last week with Spain's Ambassador Luciano Lopez Ferrer. The occasion was Spain's formal recognition of Cuba's latest government. Spain was the first European nation so to act, though Mexico, Uruguay, Peru and Panama had already done so. ¶Cuba's long-threatened general strike again failed to materialize. President Grau settled himself a little more solidly in the saddle by signing a smart decree. To persuade Cuba's wild-eyed, well-meaning students...
