...Technical Notes on Daumier," included in the catalogue, Philadelphians are given the results of a study conducted by Art Expert David Rosen and Curator of Paintings Henri Marceau, by means of X-ray and infrared photographs of twelve paintings and seven wash drawings. La Blanchisseuse and most of the other paintings were done on wood. Messrs. Rosen and Marceau discovered that each of the X-rayed wood panels had been scratched over as if by a fine-toothed saw, producing a texture like that of woven fabric. This gave a firm grip to the ground of gesso (whiting and glue...
...Philadelphia show includes, besides 152 lithographs and 52 oils and watercolors, seven pieces of Daumier's sculpture and three original lithograph stones from which prints can still be made. Notable among the paintings are six watercolors whose discovery was announced a few weeks ago in Baltimore by researchers who are still engaged in sorting out the vast collection left by Henry Walters, "the South's richest man" (railroads), who died in 1931. Three of these, Interior of an Omnibus, First-Class Carriage, and Lawyer exist in no other version and had not been seen for 40 years...
...complete shuffling of officers, the virtual completion of Chairman Myron C. Taylor's ten-year program of reshaping Big Steel. Chairman Taylor, who looked more like an Episcopal bishop than a steelmaster, was an eminently successful lawyer when he became a U. S. Steel director in 1925. Seven years later he succeeded J. P.

...Washington statistician hired by the commission for the purpose, Cecil Vearl Maudlin, made a survey and joyfully "discovered" that eight of the ten big anthracite producers and seven of the nine anthracite railroads were "controlled" by Morgan interests. In 1920 the Supreme Court ordered the anthracite carriers to divest themselves of their coal properties. According to Mr. Maudlin, the result of that order was that both mines and railroads fell into the hands of Morgan & friends. And Mr. Maudlin reported: "Under such a situation they can forego profits on the production of anthracite and recoup them in high freight rates...
Oakes made a good gain, but Pope fumbled, Army recovered, and this time they were not to be resisted. Two rushes netted a first down, they were held for one down, gained four yards, flubbed another pass, and then threw one that gave them a first down on the seven yard line. The game was over then to all intents and purposes. Four rushes gave them a score and the point was kicked. Daughters' almost-catch was really an anti-climax, serving only to aggravate the bad heart condition of the 47,000 who attended.JIM CRAIG His Pass Leads...
