After the quail-shooting season closes and before spring plowing begins, people in the South who really know and care about bird dogs turn their attention to the field trials, the series of winter tournaments culminating with the National Championship at Grand Junction, Tenn. There, last week, over the broad acres of Hobart Ames's plantation, the biggest galleries in years plodded after a field of 23 pointers and two setters, run in pairs for heats of three hours each. Weeks of cold and snow had made birds so scarce that, despite ideal weather, for the first time...
Last week a hunting party of three men set out to shoot quail near Greensboro, N. C. They were Samuel Clay Williams, board chairman of R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. (Camels) and a onetime NRAdministrator; President William Adger Law of Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co.; A. L. Brooks, a Greensboro lawyer.

It took almost two hours to get Hunter Law, 71, to Siler City for first aid. From there he was hurried to Greensboro where...

Are you going to quail before the double pressure of street riots and bank panics? "What has the Government done to assure the defense of our liberties?" roared M. Blum. "There is an open and public conspiracy against our republican institutions! What has the Government done to safeguard them against seditious leagues?" During all this...
...sight that might make any monarch quail last week faced Denmark's tall, saturnine King Christian X. The great, eight-sided courtyard of Amalienborg Palace was jam-packed with strapping, irate Danish farmers in the grip of a grievance. The King, as he peered from his palace, noted on some brawny arms the swastika band of the Danish Nazis, on others the hammer & sickle of Communism (see p. 18). The mob had gathered from the eastern Danish islands, where little farms are thickest, to demand that Premier Theodore Stauning lower farm taxes, raise farm prices, declare a farm mortgage...
