Before the conference broke up at 11 p. m. in a haze of tobacco smoke, the President's ablest financial advisers had thrashed over a wide field of problems with him. Currency inflation was not discussed; the President wanted to try other things first. But credit inflation was, at length. One reason that NRA was failing to produce results was that codified industries had trouble borrowing money to finance new costs before new profits accrued. Why? Because many banks were hoarding their commercial credit. Why? Because they wanted to be completely liquid to qualify under the new deposit insurance...
...remarking: "That's her son. This is her fodder." Assisted by uncouth Dave Chasen, Mr. Cook finally removes his hack and horse from the stage. Messrs. Cook & Chasen have provided themselves with trainmen's caps. They pour coal into Magnolia's flank. She lights up, chuffs smoke through her nostrils, trembles from flashing fire box to cowcatcher, and finally roars metallically into the wings. Past master of absurdity and surprise, Joe Cook regularly employs three property men of his own to supplement his production's stage staff. He needs all of them in Hold Your Horses...
...reveries inspired by a sweet pipe-smoke, a pipe-smoke like unto those described in mild, mellow, expensive advertising, the Vagabond has often pondered the decay of magazine editors.

Dozens of them rioted at the meeting place, setting off smoke bombs, ringing bells, roaring "Deutschland über Alles," until 100 were arrested, 20 injured. In spite of diplomatic protests, the Nazi radio station at Munich continued its series of evening blasts against the Dollfuss Government. The speeches given by different Nazi spokesmen every evening are particularly annoying to Austrian officials because they know that almost every Austrian farmer listens to them. They come on at 9 p. m. immediately after...
Victory? In July the smoke of battle lifted enough to permit a survey of positions won and lost. Bull-dogged little Lord Beaverbrook, having forged into the lead, triumphantly shouted that his Express had 2,054,000 daily for the month of June-hugest daily circulation ever recorded! The Herald, which started it all, had clawed past the Mail to a mark of 2,000,000. The Mail in third place had 1,850,000, the News-Chronicle...
