Father & Sons. In the brief and not particularly glorious record of U. S. third parties since the War, the La Follette family has played a big part. Wisconsin's famed, white-maned Senator Robert Marion La Follette Sr. ran for President on an independent Progressive ticket in 1924, polled nearly 5,000,000 votes. Since his death in 1925, La Follette Progressivism has been ably carried on by his two sons- conscientious dapper "Young Bob," 43, who went to the U. S. Senate in 1925 to fill the unexpired term of his father, and Philip, who has been elected...
...Barcelona, which had already gone on daylight saving time, Leftist Premier Dr. Juan Negrin shoved clocks ahead yet another hour last week, to save still more electricity.

Dick Whitney tried to bluff his way through by submitting fake figures, but the Exchange sent accountants to his office. This time, Brother George was in Florida, so Dick ran to Morgan-Partner Bartow with the whole miserable tale and a request for $280,000 more. Banker Bartow went to Lawyer John W. Davis, who forbade any financial assistance as improper. Bartow then motored out to Long Island to see J. P. Morgan himself. "Mr. Morgan was shocked beyond measure...
Dartmouth swept the 220 low hurdles. Harvard's Mason Fernald had a bad day; his old rivals Donovan and Watson of Dartmouth took him in the highs, and in the lows he lost his stride and fell back out of the scoring. Alex Northrop ran another good mile, winning the distance by 40 yards over Whitman of Dartmouth. His time...
