...employ so queer an architect. In the East, with its colonial traditions and propinquity to European standards, the new geometric style of Frank Lloyd Wright was deemed "mad" if not vulgar, and quite beneath notice. Architect Wright did not worry. He found plenty of Midwesterners either new-rich or bold enough to take an interest in his personality and ideas. The farther west he went the better he was received. In California his rectilinear houses seemed a natural evolution of the Mission tradition. He designed the square-cut Imperial Hotel in Tokyo and his theory that architecture should be adapted...

If Red Bogdanov succeeds in silencing Mr. Whalen, "ruble diplomacy" will have won its outstanding victory thus far, for the Commissioner charged last week nothing less than that Amtorg is a backer, political and financial, of organized Communist agitation in the U. S., that Amtorg in short is helping to foment "the World...
...Ladies and gentlemen, "Friends and seekers, "Buy your corn whiskey from us. "Pure charred corn whiskey. "Delivered any time, day or night. "Probably this looks too bold to be true, but if you think so give us a call and follow instruction, any one that wants it, officers and all. "Prices are: "$1 per pt, $2 per qt., $4 per half gallon. "Nothing over half gallon delivered...
