...heir to the world's oldest unbroken dynasty. Cute, deadpan Crown Prince Akihito ("The prince of the August Succession and Enlightened Benevolence") is now five years old, has his own palace, likes to climb trees and ride on the palace lawn in his toy automobile and bicycle. Twenty young sons of peers come to play with him in shifts on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Last week four more noble playmates with special talents were chosen to match Akihito's varying moods: Yasuo Nishi, 7, accomplished pilot of baby automobiles; Yoshitska Torio, 7, very good at drawing; Takatoshi Kinoshita...
...Detroit's Briggs Stadium, Gehrig (known as Buster to his teammates) blubbered as he watched Babe Dahlgren take over his old stamping ground at first base, then silently watched his buddies hand the Tigers their worst defeat (22-10-2) in 27 years.* He graciously shook hands with young Dahlgren after the game, but the only Yankee who dared try to console him was Pitcher Lefty Gomez. "Hell, Lou." said Lefty, "it took 15 years to get you out of the game; sometimes I'm out in 15 minutes." In the grandstand, viewing all this, was Wally Pipp...
...that a great number of physicians are practicing "horse and buggy" medicine according to the rules of the past generation at the expense of "the defenceless sick."

Since they would have to take periodical examinations, doctors would find it fatal to neglect postgraduate study...
...World's Fair tripper, taking art on the run, could hardly ask for anything more panoramic. Ranging from tame portraits of young girls to woozy, crawling abstractions, from genteel sculptures in baby-blue plaster to great blocks of stone, from Christmas-cardy woodcuts to elusive black-and-whites, the show represents all trends, tastes, techniques. A few exhibits, with their wavering lines, naïve perspectives, jumbled colors, may invite perplexed comparison with little Hilda's fourth-grade drawings. But there is not enough surrealism to bite beholders. Many things in the exhibition treat in some...
...more than 50 years New York's Roosevelt ladies, Republican and Democrat alike, have bought their clothes at Manhattan's Arnold Constable. (Onetime Department Manager William Kramer once paddywhacked fractious young Teddy Roosevelt, who tagged along with his mother.) Since 1929, all Anna Eleanor Roosevelt's ceremonial clothes have been designed by strapping, golden-blonde Lucille Mahoney, Arnold Constable's designer-buyer. Last week Miss Mahoney completed her most exacting assignment: nine ensembles to be worn during the visit of King George and Queen Elizabeth. They include: an ermine stole made of 250 Alaskan pelts...
