Most remarkable fact about the 1937 kudos list was the abdication of the nation's four perennial kudos champions. Nicholas Murray Butler, who received his 35th honorary degree last winter from Trujillo University in San Domingo, appeared to be satisfied. Nor were there any degrees in prospect last week for the New York Times's commencement-speaking Editor John Huston Finley (30), Harvard's President-Emeritus Abbott Lawrence Lowell (28), Herbert Hoover (27). In their stead 1937 had produced many a new public face...
Among the sketching upstarts is Sam Faier, youthful graduate of Philadelphia's School of Industrial Art, who in winter teaches art at Germantown High School, does odd jobs for newspapers. His biggest tip ($2) came from his biggest customer, Primo Camera. Jack Dempsey, Jackie Coogan, Max Baer each gave him $1, Al Jolson 50?.

But when Flagg finished for Faier a picture of a mother & moppet, the mother declared it a bad likeness, angrily tossed Flagg...
...Texas, where harvest hands are already beginning to drift north after the first threshings, the Board estimated winter wheat production at about 39,000,000 bu. compared to 17,000,000 bu. last year.

Winter wheat production for the country as a whole will be about 649,000,000 bu., nearly twice that of the drought year, 1933, and 130,000,000 bu. over 1936. Since this is roughly the amount of wheat...
Dropping the sunny mask displayed to its paying guests in winter, the City of Miami last week got down to the unpleasant business of collecting unpaid taxes. It was the duty of Tax Collector J. O. Davis to auction off delinquent lots-"or such part as is necessary"-to satisfy the city's claims. Miami's business recovery was reflected in this year's higher tax rolls ($2,900,000, compared to $2,300,000 last year) and in higher collections (89% as against 85½%). It was also reflected in remarkably eager bidding at the annual...
