...wearing white gloves was fair-haired Leopold Stokowski, exulting not only over the tour to come but because there is a prospect of a European trip next season. Cameras clicked rapidly while Frances A. Wister of the Orchestra Board presented Conductor Stokowski with a fox-terrier pup named Nipper. The New York Philharmonic players sent money to buy each of the travelers a beer. Led by Trumpeter Saul Caston, the Orchestra's brasses blew out Auld Lang Syne, played Anchors Aweigh for "all aboard."

But her achievements are never limited to such trivial reformations, for she is a minor Orphan Annie. This time she puts over a night-club venture for a bunch of Russian immigrants whom she met on the way over, and brings the erstwhile namby-pamby into conjunction with the pretty...
...Paterson, N. J., returned home after a runaway trip to Manhattan, Max Wilemchik, 14, told newshawks, "I lost my dog from the garage after I locked the door myself. The pup was smart. Still, he couldn't unfasten the door himself. I figured it all out and it seemed to me that mom and pop gave the pup away, because he tracked mud into the delicatessen. You know how that made me feel. If they didn't like my dog they didn't like me. I'm going to look for my dog. I think...
