Another $3,000,000 is needed to pay off short-term notes sold to Halsey, Stuart & Co. last month. Two-thirds of this money was borrowed not for the use of the borrower. Hearst Magazines, but to re-lend upstream to American Newspapers. Inc. The rest of the money borrowed from Halsey, Stuart was applied as a down payment on a Manhattan building owned by Hearst's New York Evening Journal-but leased by Hearst Magazines. Full price for the building is $3,253,000, which is $500,000 more than the appraised value. This inflated price is justified...

Unfortunately salmon swim blindly into places where the current is strongest, and if the 50,000 salmon a day which pass upstream at spawning time do not like the new conveniences provided for them, it will be just too bad for the $10,000,000-a-year Columbia River salmon industry...

He declared the Federal Government would hereafter be "hardboiled"' in advancing its 45% of the cost of PWA projects...
...lack of interest. His men, he said, came late to practice. The race reversed this situation. At the finish, Yale's varsity came in six lengths behind a smooth rowing Harvard boat whose time of 20:19 for four miles was within five seconds of the upstream course record. Promptly after Harvard had won its fourth race on the Thames in seven years, Coach Whiteside was told that he was fired...
