...Chappell-Coward-McCann ($2).* Compilers Hunt & Chappell put up a blatant front of impartiality on the Wet & Dry question. At the top of every page they reprint some moral tale or verse from some such temperance sourcebook as No Gin Today, Anecdotes from the Platform, Temperance Annual; then counter at the bottom with recipes for drinks. The scheme, more ingenious than its execution, is helped somewhat by pseudo-Victorian pseudo-engravings by Artist John Held Jr. Like all rummagings in the attic, this one recovers some rare antiques; the full version of that affecting ballad, "Father, Dear Father Come Home...

Fedotov: "As I sat in prison and thought of my vanished hopes, I told myself that had our plans succeeded it would have been foreign imperialists and a handful of rich emigres who would have...
Greenwich, Conn, home, or in his Pasadena colonial house, or aboard his yachts Zatna and Sialia. Chicagoans remember when he became a partner in D. A. Tyng & Co., Chicago over-the-counter house. They also remember how that firm ended in a flurry of indictments. Promoter Andrews came out of that crash unscathed. He went to Manhattan, prospered in stocks and buildings; went to Los Angeles, prospered in stocks, hotels, penny slot-machines. So greatly did he prosper that he could play the market in company with that once great bull William Crapo Durant. He became and still...
