Katharine ("Kay") Brush, 30, is clearly classifiable as a sophisticate. At 17 she was a newspaper reporter, theatrical reviewer, cinema colyumist. She has married, divorced, remarried.

The real race appeared to be between Mr. Wardell, who managed Governor Roosevelt's unsuccessful preconvention campaign in California and Mr. McAdoo who swung the votes...
Readers of "The Wisdom Box," George C. MacKinnon's colyum in the Boston Daily Record, learned last month of a strange & wonderful white rat, owned and disowned by Philip Baldwin of Medford, Mass., radio control man for National Broadcasting Co.'s Station WEEI. Radioman Baldwin, reported Colyumist MacKinnon, bought two white rats, one of which soon disappeared from its box in the Baldwin garage. It had been missing ten days when Mr. Baldwin suddenly beheld it perched impudently on a brake drum of his automobile. He grabbed, missed. The rat darted out of sight into the car's internals...
