Unmarried No. 1 Nazi Hitler and childless No. 2 Nazi Göring, both tireless in exhorting the German people to breed children, were again set an example last week by the No. 3 Nazi, waspish little Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels. When she married Dr. Goebbels in December 1931, Mrs. Magda Quandt already had a son. In the ensuing five years Dr. & Mrs. Goebbels have had a son and three daughters, the latest last week. While his wife was in labor with his fourth child, Der Angrip, personal newsorgan of Reichspropagandaminister Goebbels, came out last week with a powerful series...
When it was launched at the Century's turn by the gaudiest crew of bigtime promoters in U. S. history, American Can Co. was very nearly a perfect monopoly. It had at the start, thanks to the tireless efforts of Judge William Moore, Daniel Gray ("Tsar") Reid and William Bateman ("Tin Plate") Leeds, over nine-tenths of the country's entire can business.

They could only sleep in the forenoon, when the beaver slept. The rest of the day and night the tireless animals, in their frustrated industry, gouged up the floor, gnawed through the partition, built high scaffolds in an attempt to reach the water, climbed into bed with Grey Owl and his wife. The Grey Owls put a tank in the room, which pleased the beavers, although the water soaked...
