Back to Asia. The idea having been thus pedigreed (and U. S. observers admitted that it sounded very much like the ideas that used to emerge from the Oyster Bay rocking chair during the early years of the century), it was carried one step further last week by swart, smiling mustachioed Kaku Mori, leader of the younger faction of the chauvinistic Seiyukai Party. Mr. Mori is not now a Cabinet member. He could and did speak so freely to the Diet that a frightened cable censor hastily mangled the last part of his address while it was being sent...
...other side of the draw, muscular Helen Jacobs had had one shaky afternoon against Marjorie Gladman Van Ryn, who interrupted the match frequently to inquire of press telegraphers about her husband, playing Ellsworth Vines at Newport (see below). Both Van Ryns lost. Two days later Helen Jacobs took the step penultimate to what she hoped would be her first U.

But some of their joy was sapped when they heard that the dealers, shrewd sons of shrewd fathers, were upping the price of their own accord, a step ahead of a real demand which they felt would soon come. To bring order and a higher brand of ethics to a cut-throat industry, Director Schwartz founded the Institute of Scrap Iron & Steel four years ago, embracing 400 of the largest scrap dealers and 90% of the business...
