...followed his father into high office. Only one President's son has become President (John Adams-John Quincy Adams); only one President's grandson has become President (William Henry Harrison-Benjamin Harrison). But two Senators' sons now sit in the Senate: Frederick Hale of Maine whose sire was the late great Eugene Hale (1836-1918) and Robert Marion La Follette of Wisconsin, the Peter Pannish offspring of sturdy "Battle Bob" (1855-1925). In the House today is found a rare grandfather-father-son tradition of service in the ancient and honorable family of Tucker from Virginia. Henry...
...against his confirmation. Their complaint was that he was not a real wheat farmer, that he knew nothing about wheat farming, that he was out of sympathy with Federal aid for those who did produce this crop. His most bitter opponent was his fellow Nebraskan, Senator George William Norris, whose candidacy for the Presidency he did not take seriously last year.

Vincent Youmans, composer of such infectious songs as "Tea for Two," "Sometimes I'm Happy'' and "Hallelujah," presents his country with several remarkable airs in this bromidic and tedious musicomedy about a Southern lass (Mayo Methot) whose ancestral mansion is sold for a gambling house. Needless to say, a comely Northerner (Alan Prior) eases her heart. Two of Composer Youman's best tunes, the lingering "Without A Song," the jubilant "Great Day," are magnificently reverberated by an Afric choir of 40 voices led by Mr. Lois Deppe. Other Youmans' melodies which will soon...
...coaxed Dr. Wilmers Negro office servant William to give her a list of rich former patients. There were 338 of them. All - people like Mr. and Mrs. Breckinridge, Herbert Livingston Satterlee (Manhattan lawyer), Ira Clifton Copley (Illinois publisher), Mrs. Edith Oliver Rea (Pittsburgh iron and steel manufacturer), Joseph Pulitzer (whose father was blind), Daniel Willard (B. & O. R. R. president)-contributed handsomely. The Wilmer Institute with its professional staff and equipments outclasses any like organization in the U. S. and ranks equal to the great eye clinics at London, Paris, Munich, Zurich, Vienna. Indeed, it surpasses them in having...
