...Hollywood, Heloise made $50 a week. In addition she was soon drawing regular fees modeling for Murray Korman, a theatrical and commercial photographer who admired her "fine character, brown eyes, and 34 in. bust." Only hitch in her quick rise was that Father Martin suddenly determined that she should finish her college course. When Heloise refused, he enlisted the aid of her friends Korman and Vallee (Yale '27) and with them engaged Heloise in a long-drawn argument. "Look at Katharine Hepburn," said Photographer Korman, "there was a girl with no looks but a college education and hasn...
...week's quakes were caused by upward jerks of this kind in northern Ohio.

But, as Dean Gauss points out, the average intelligence of the American youth is hardly likely to be higher than that of the Briton or Frenchman...
...classic story, Dumb-Bell of Brookfield, but last week from Georgia came proof that Author Foote's tale was no fantasy. Out for quail with a friend's three bird dogs were Paul T. Chance, an Augusta lawyer, and his two sons. After a covey rise, some of the single birds settled in a small ravine beside a railroad culvert. When Brilliant Joe, an 8-year-old setter, reached the top of the railroad embankment, he saw that one of his mates, a young pointer, had got there first and was pointing. Brilliant Joe stopped squarely...
