...Penal Code was in part authorized. None of it having been published, Minister without Portfolio Hans Frank explained: "German lawyers will be filled with joy to hear that the former principle of 'no punishment without law' has been replaced by the principle 'no crime without punishment.' This should obligate German men of the law to a new gratitude to Der Führer. For the first time the concept of 'love of Der Führer' has become a legal concept." ¶ Minister of Interior Dr. Wilhelm Frick received final authority to settle all German church disputes...
...took ten months of humoring and hammering, persuasion and perseverance to get the U. S. copper industry to sign a code last year, but once having signed, coppermen became NRA's heartiest boosters.

A set of bowls with flags, kickoff-markers and 48 inflated 12-oz. balls, all the equipment required to play Codeball anywhere, costs about $100. There...
...year-old Dr. Code, inventing Codeball-on-the-Green (on which he holds patents and copyrights) was the natural climax for a lifetime spent trying to improve and rearrange the purposes of other pastimes and occupations. He began by using a golf ball & driver to knock over bowling pins. He once bowled 228 balls in an hour. He won a wager by playing 18 holes of golf in 40 min., 45 sec., after wearing out three caddies, five scorers. He played 154 holes of golf in a day, stopped lest younger members of his club find his example an encouragement...
