Japan's most potent Jingo, Lieut.-General Sadao Araki, onetime War Minister and boss of the Army's "Ginger Group," had glorious news last week from Shanghai where a Japanese squadron is commanded by his brother Rear Admiral Sadasuke Araki. The glorious news: somebody had murdered a Japanese Marine in full uniform near the Japanese Naval headquarters. At this news in utter panic rich & poor Chinese alike fled from Chapei in the native quarter of Shanghai to the International Settlement which proved safe in 1932 when the Japanese blew Chapei to bloody smithereens. If the Araki Brothers were...
Seeking out Key for a story, reporters made their way to the luxurious Sunset Boulevard home of the Brothers Harold & Edward Janss. There in a cottage at the rear of the house "Ted" Key and his father James D. Key were in residence, the father acting as "watchman."

To the left stands the rear entrance of a swank apartment not unlike River House. In the centre squats a row of verminous flats. To the right rises a grimy coal chute. And all across the front stretches a pier-end from which urchins dive with a splash into what normally would be the orchestra...
Front-wheel drive is a safer method of power application than rear drive because the vehicle is pulled around corners, not pushed. Another advantage is reduction in below-the-springs weight, prime factor in riding quality. Unsprung weight in the Cord is about 300 lb. less than it would have been with rear drive. The cumbersome gear lever that protruded from the dash on the old Cords has been replaced with pneumatic shifter controlled from the steering column...
