...Cabinet's only unmarried member had taken the wise women of Washington by surprise. They had known that an earnest, athletic girl, sister of the wife of his late stepson Wilmarth, had visited in his Washington home on and off since 1935. She had worked at small jobs in the Interior, helped run his empty home for him, accompanied him to social functions, helped him select and decorate his country place, "Headwater Farm" near Olney, Md. During his illness last year she visited his hospital bedside almost daily. Their relationship had seemed like that of father & daughter...
Thousands of Czechoslovakians last week went to bed with gas masks at their bedsides. By law, every Czech citizen in cities must possess a gas mask before the end of June, and last week, reported Eleanor Packard, wife of United Pressman Reynolds Packard, thousands jammed Prague's 20 gas mask dispensaries where attractive blondes demonstrated the operating technique.

Dark-haired, pretty Maude Phelps Hutchins, a professional artist and wife of University of Chicago's President Robert Maynard Hutchins, likes to draw psychological studies of nude female figures, which she calls "dialectic" drawings.

He received a message that his daughter was worse. He flew back. Alighting from his plane at Oklahoma City he sprained an ankle. He limped to a phone, learned that his daughter was rallying, his wife slipping. So Mr. Whisenhunt flew...
Ford Motor Co. mails dividend checks to only three stockholders-Henry Ford, his son Edsel and Edsel's wife, Eleanor. Because it has no other stockholders to coddle, the company does not publish an income statement and the public cannot know exactly what Ford's earnings are. Only clue to the firm's profits & losses is the balance sheet it is required to file each year in Massachusetts. Last week the report for 1937 was filed and the public's annual guessing game got under way. Majority guess: Although Ford produced 1,314,369 cars & trucks...
