...King Peter remembered," said Mrs. Gruitch, "that Tomislav and Andreja had been to the seashore often and played with toy boats. So Peter told his brothers that King Alexander had gone off in a ship to France and that the ship had struck a big wave, high as the palace. Their father, Peter said, is still in the waves. They will have to wait and he may not come back any more. "King Peter is an unspoiled, child of natural grace," wound up Mrs. Gruitch...
...this time the George Washington's photographer had excitedly unlimbered his camera. He caught the foam-flecked wave that heaved up and tore off the right pontoon of the low swooping plane.

M. assembled its own orchestra, hired spectacular Leopold Stokowski to wave his pale hands over it and Tenor Richard Crooks to sing. Soloists will vary in the expensive radio bout. G. M. has a starry list of conductors. Ford will stick to Victor Kolar, Ossip Gabrilowitsch's hard-working associate, who conducted at A Century of Progress last summer. Ford...
...point a reaction may be expected and new buying should be deferred until then. This despite the fact that an advance through 98 would indicate probable further rise to near the 100 level before reacting. It is better to buy on a reaction than on the crest of a wave that has already gone a considerable distance. American Radiator (ADT) and Bendlx Aviation (BEX) for low priced issues seem to hold distinct possibilities. We still like Southern Pacific (SX) among the rails, and oddly enough there ought to be two or three points in National Power and Light from around...
