...there was no indication that fish had difficulty finding their way. Since the number of salmon who used to go up the river to spawn had never been counted, the census figures did not provide accurate comparisons. Most of the salmon who used the stairs did so as though they had been climbing ladders all their lives. Effete salmon who wanted to be scooped up by the lift were disappointed. Lifts will not start operating for another two weeks...
...city will starve even though it means taking all the city's money for relief operations." So promised Cleveland's Mayor Harold H. Burton last week, but the city still had no means of repairing its relief agencies, which broke down when funds ran out three weeks ago. While 75,000 Clevelanders were getting short rations instead of checks, all 19 of Chicago's relief stations last week shut their doors with a bang. Thirty-four thousand of their 93,000 relief cases (each "case" represents about three people) got, instead of monthly checks, baskets doled...
...show, a musical, opening this season and with such hits as Hooray for What! and Of Mice and Men already closed, it was plain last week that few producers were running the risk of theatrical ptomaine.

...Fine Arts, rests securely in the able hands of Ignace Jan Paderewski. The picture, a Pall Mall Production, makes little pretense at being anything but a means of presenting an action close-up of the world's greatest living pianist. At this it succeeds fairly well, though one would like to see more of Paderewski and less of the rest of the picture. Particularly interesting are close-ups of the pianist's hands, as he plays his Minuet in G, and selections from Lizst, Chopin, and Beethoven. The exquisite tone of Paderewski's music survives the sound-reproduction in only...
