...State warden of their own sex. She is Edith A. Stoeher, 27, a husky, genial sportswoman who breeds English setters on her farm near South Wethersfield, likes to hunt, fish, trapshoot. Last fortnight, in a field test with four other applicants for the job, she proved her skill with rod & reel, her knowledge of flies, knots, trout.

He was six years old, living in Grand Rapids where his father worked in the postoffice, when he showed an unusual talent for playing the piano. During the War, in spite of being...
...Kirkwood, seasoned golf professional of Philadelphia: the North & South Open championship; with a record score of 277; at Pinehurst. Long famed for his skill at "trick" shots, Kirkwood two months ago stopped playing in theatres, so improved his game that in four rounds at Pinehurst not one of his drives landed off the fairway...
