...side-splitting vulgarity of "Our Boarding House" belonged to the same school as the wry "Indoor Sports" which famed, one-handed Thomas Aloysius ("Tad") Dorgan drew for King Features for 22 years. When Dorgan died in 1929 King Features spotted Ahern as his possible successor. By 1934 they were talking it over with the cartoonist. By last July N. E. A.'s spectacled, able President Frederick S.

...Benet resigned as Hotchkiss managing director before he left, but his permanent successor has not yet been named. The company's most profitable product is its machine gun, invented by Benjamin Berkeley Hotchkiss about the same time Maxim and Catling were devising their early weapons.

...educators, however, feel any strong urge to rule it. Peppery, fox-bearded Superintendent William McAndrew (1924-28), born in Ypsilanti, Mich., was constantly bedeviled as a "stool pigeon of King George" by Mayor William Hale ("Big Bill'') Thompson's "America First" campaign. His successor, William Joseph Bogan (1928-36), spent most of his term in the morass of teachers' "payless paydays." Last week Chicago's Board of Education, looking for a successor to Superintendent Bogan, who died in March, chose his assistant, William Harding Johnson...
