...informed about these things. . . . Anyhow, he is the first President to review the American Navy in a yachting cap and a business suit-but that is what he wore. Also he is the first President who left the bridge after 20 minutes of the review and, retiring to the stern of his boat, there had his picture taken and reclined for the rest of the two hours on a couch from which he could neither see nor be seen by the battleships as they passed the Mayflower. . . . Naval circles in Washington are humming today-and not in gratification...
...Ismet's train reached the end of the new line last week, he descended to the platform, stern and imposing, to accept without moving a muscle of his face the homage of some thousands of rural townsmen. They, well-meaning, slaughtered many sheep, and one gangling camel in honor of the new railway and Ismet Pasha. To make the celebration more costly, bright shawls and valuable rugs were dipped in blood from the slaughtered animals, then burned...

...Some say he had "a boyishly stern squint"; others proclaim him a practical joker and tell how he once answered his roommate's desire for a drink of water with a glass of kerosene. He is 25, more than six feet tall, rangy, handsome, blond. He knows flying as the barnstormer with a $250 plane and as the chief pilot for the St. Louis-Chicago air mail route. He is a prominent member of the Caterpillar Club, having four times become a butterfly and descended to earth in a parachute. In the Missouri National Guard he earned the rank...
