Officials of Harvard University's Widener Memorial Library were used to the sallow, bespectacled little man who habitually smoked a corncob pipe. Because he said he was preparing himself to be a professor they let him roam the library as much as he liked. Last week they became sharply conscious of Joel Clifton Williams, 49, of Dedham. Mass. He was under arrest, charged with pilfering 1,804 books worth $15.000 from Widener Library...
Conductor Frederick Stock of the Chicago Symphony last year inaugurated a contest which last month brought attention to Joseph Rosenstein, 19-year-old violinist.

Singer reached for Canzoneri with a left jab-reached a little too far. Canzoneri shot his own left over, jarring -the champion's jaw. The punch was not particularly hard, but it flustered Singer. He stepped back to get his bearings, then launched...
Yellow Flag. Hottest criticism of the speech from the Throne came from sallow, fiery Laborite left winger James Maxton, M.P. He flayed the speech as not Socialist, accused Scot MacDonald of "running up the yellow flag of Liberalism." But a Maxton motion that the House "humbly regrets" the non-Socialist character of the Royal speech was defeated by 156 votes...
