...Montour R. R. spur but at Andrew William Mellon and his brother Richard, who together own working control of Pittsburgh Coal Co. As part of an extensive rehabilitation program, whose object was to restore dividends after an eight-year lapse, Pittsburgh Coal was building this spur to connect with water transportation on the Ohio River. This would shave the cost of hauling coal to Youngstown and Cleveland, perhaps enough to enable Pittsburgh to recapture markets lost to the low-cost producers of the Southern fields. Which meant, of course, that Messrs. Atterbury & Williamson would haul a much smaller chunk...
...downs to the Crimson's six, and in rushing, Harvard gained only 48 yards in comparison with the 148 of the Purple ball carriers. In the forward passing department, the same story is true for Harvard completed but four of the 18 aerials attempted, while the visitors managed to connect on eight of their 16. Five of the Crimson's uncompleted passes fell into the waiting arms of Holy Cross secondaries...

Built (to connect the Comstock silver lode with Reno) in 1869 by Darius Ogden Mills, grandfather of the present owner, Virginia & Truckee was controlled in recent years by the Mills and Sharon estates of San Francisco. Rising silver prices, discovery of a new lode at Virginia City have made prospects of the road...
Meanwhile the purest peace reigned in the palace of King Carol. No voice had risen to connect him in any way with the Skoda scandal, and his slack-chinned younger brother Prince Nicholas suddenly decided that a year and a half of morganatic marriage with svelte Jana Lucia Deletz was enough (TIME, Nov. 23, 1931,). Following the promptings of Queen Mother Marie he cast Jana aside last week, made peace with King Carol, arranged to return to Bucharest, resume his royal rank...
