Gathered last week in Mrs. Robertson's Shady Lawn Tourist Camp outside of Nashville, Tenn. was one of the South's most talkative, most anachronistic minority groups-500 itinerant Irish horse traders, the Rileys and Costellos, the O'Haras, Carrolls and Sherlocks. During the winter they travel round from one mule market to another, running down the animals of other people and commenting enthusiastically on the good points of their own. During the summer they live in tourist camps and see the world. Once a year, on May 1. they get together just outside of Nashville...

...property of Mrs. Emily Roebling Cadwalader, Philadelphia socialite. The ship's incorporation was publicized last year when the U. S. Bureau of Internal Revenue objected to income tax deductions made by Mrs. Cadwalader and Husband Richard M. Cadwalader Jr. in their 1932 returns.

While the decision itself is an example of Government control of transportation, the Commission's reason for making it harks back to Adam Smith. The report pointed out that California is an area where millions travel by private automobile; that if only 7% to 8% of the motorists could be lured to train-&-bus service by its speed and cheapness, the volume of carrier traffic would be increased by 100%. Best possible stimulus to speed and cheapness, said the Commission, would be competition precisely of the sort Santa Fe will give Southern Pacific...
...romantic as its title, neither is this travel book so ponderous as the official title of the one-man expedition it tells about-the Carnegie Institution's Expedition for Study of the Earth's Magnetic Behavior. A mixture of guidebook, adventure story, anthropological study, social & political commentary, covering a 2,000-mile trip through the jungles of Venezuela and Brazil, Journey to Manaos tells next to nothing about terrestrial magnetism. Author Hanson dutifully did the job he went to do, but he records more magnetic attractions above ground than underneath...
