...Cutten said he was in the Market now "mostly for the fun of it." But he was a little tired of it and wanted a rest (he is almost 60). "I've never even been in Europe," he said. "I've never played at all, never had a chance to do anything but work." He was asked about a reported remark to the effect that if he had a son he would keep him out of the market with a ten-foot pole and another observation that most brokers were just "broke." He said that he meant the grain...
...symptoms of real cooperation. Investigators for Irving Trust Co., receivers, quickly discovered that the listed assets of the bank had little meaning. There were bad bonds, bad oil stocks, bad loans. There was a credit of $840,000 against the New York Port Terminal Co., a company which was said not to be operating, if it had ever been formed.

Ernest William Barnes, "liberal" Bishop of Birmingham, the other is the Rt. Rev. Michael Bolton Furse, Bishop of St. Albans, stormy conservative. Said Bishop Furse when he saw Bishop Barnes: ". . . He claims liberty for himself and others in freedom of belief and refuses to allow that freedom of belief to be expressed in certain ways by us who, he says, made concessions to religious barbarisms." Interjected the Most Rev. Cosmo Gordon Lang, Archbishop of Canterbury...
...since 1923 to attend, in Baltimore, the annual convention of the Rainbow (42nd) Division which was under his command when he broke the German offensive in the crucial Battle of Champagne (July 1918). Historians recalled that both General Gouraud's legs and one arm were riddled in Gallipoli. Surgeons said the arm would heal in three months. The General asked how soon he could return to the front if the arm were amputated. "Two months," was the answer. "Amputate," said...
