Once Ogden Goelet's yacht, then a despatch boat for the U. S. Navy, then the presidential yacht Mayflower, a trim white ship lay tied up in Philadelphia last week being changed once more into a naval craft to serve in the Caribbean. Fire broke out in her stern. It raged forward, reached and sent rocketing some explosives, injured two fire-fighting seamen, got completely out of control. The firefighters had to withdraw and watch the withered Mayflower burn and sink until her bow rested on the bottom of the Delaware River...

...Lucky instead of a Sweet"-a slogan deplored by conservative advertising men, resented by the candy & sugar industries, rebuked by the Federal Trade Commission. The current American Tobacco Co. campaign, still associating cigarets with slender figures, is built around the catch line of "avoiding that future shadow," pictures trim and athletic youth casting a fat and flaccid middle-aged shadow. Monstrous indeed are the shadows in the Lucky Strike series, almost out of all human proportion. Yet while Camel cigarets have advertised smoking pleasure, while Chesterfield cigarets have maintained that taste is the cigaret's vital quality, while...
