...modified superlative so dear to the West Coast, the Central Bank of Oakland is the "largest California bank outside of San Francisco and Los Angeles" (resources: $43,000,000). Its 15-story building at Broadway and 14th Street, where 15 Oakland trolley lines converge, is described by the bank as "sublimated and refined Italian Romanesque." Last week Amadeo Peter Giannini, who if not precisely sublimated or Romanesque is at least refined Italian, reached out across the Bay from San Francisco, firmly grasped the stoutly independent Central Bank of Oakland...
While the Commonwealth Golf Course has not done much to encourage Winter Sports, it has the best natural hills for those who prefer the open slope type of skiing. Located in Newton, within ten minutes drive or a half an hour on the trolley, this location is also the nearest to Cambridge and the most accessible.

Leaving Boston the procession was booed by Harvard students as it passed through Cambridge. It reached Worcester at 8:30 p. m. where the President had a rubdown and an hour's rest before delivering his major speech. The pack at Worcester knocked down a trolley pole and five people were injured, but the least enthusiastic hour of the tour was when Franklin Roosevelt drove down to board his train between lanes of silent curiosity-seekers...
...weeks banners have stretched across the narrow alleys leading to Madrid's trolley-thronged Puerta del Sol urging Spanish Radicals to go out and fight for the Government. For weeks trenches hastily dug in the outer boulevards have been guarded by groups of excitable, untrained Red Militia. Despite all this, nobody in the centre of the capital could quite believe last week that the final attack on Madrid was so close, until the wind shifted and the deep throb of distant cannonading sounded over the city...
