...verdant Severn valley of England where still survive the genial, autocratic Squire and the great yet cozy country house, lies Bewdley, one of the safest Conservative constituencies in the Kingdom. Its Parliamentary member for the last 28 years has been Stanley Baldwin, now nearly 70, and younger members of the Party say he would understand more of their troubles "if the P. M. ever had to fight for his seat, instead of just standing in Bewdley." To its homely broad-brogued farmers the Prime Minister went last week to confirm what everyone knew -that he is about to retire from...
Possibly the most decisive answer ever attained in the long history of Squire v. Farmer bickering was the result of their trip: a Mellon decision to close $2,500,000 Rolling Rock entirely, ship its horses elsewhere, sell its machinery, deprive Ligonier Valley of its $120,000 annual revenue.

...rugged Sespe Valley in the wild back country of California's Ventura County one day last week motored a Los Angeles Times newshawk, a photographer and Sidney B.

He is almost 6 ft. tall, 170 lb., fond of practical jokes of which his fellow professionals frequently make him the victim. Accused of being dull in his love scenes, Ameche has given cinemagazines the following alibi: "Valentino was the impetuous type . . . then he would slow up and make the ladies chase him. Mrs. Ameche would not care for this type of lover...
...climb trees, photographs which filtered into metropolitan circulation last week furnished proof of a startling exception. At Clyde, Kans.- 200 mi. down the Republican River from the scene of the historic Indian ambush currently depicted in The Plainsman- were run late in February the sixth annual Republican Valley Coon Hound Field Trials. Goal of the free-for-all race was a tree in which a live raccoon was tied high and safe. First to reach the tree was a 4-year-old redbone coon hound named Rudd. The race was over but Rudd did not know it. Up the slightly...
