...open season for Governors in the South last week. Twenty of them gathered at New Orleans to confer. The most eminent Governor of all, New York's Smith, was not far from New Orleans, golfing and fishing at Biloxi, Miss. But he did not "take in" the conference.

...Colombia, whereas stronger brands come from Brazil. The popularity of platinum and the present Parisian rage for emeralds are also potent prosperity factors, for Colombia is the largest producer of the white metal and the green stone.
