...populous East. With wheat at 50? a bu., Western Home Monthly (headquarters: Winnipeg) found its readers broke. The magazine "went national," guaranteed an A. B. C. circulation of 180,000 by October 1932, a boost of some 60,000 over the distribution it then had. With a whoop of delight, last week the publishers announced that the goal had been reached. To celebrate they changed the journal's name to National Home Monthly.

On the platform stood princes of the Royal House, six Cabinet Ministers and the Imperial Chamberlain who solemnly stepped forward to bestow on General Honjo the divine welcome of the "Son of Heaven," Emperor Hirohito...
...silk industry, to its intense delight, last week found itself suddenly in the midst of a boom. Unlike cotton and woolen men, silk men are much at the mercy of THEM and last week it was gloriously plain that THEY-the fashion designers of Paris, the style buyers and editors from the U. S., and the 40,000,000 U. S. women who wear dresses-had decided on a style change which would require the U. S. silk industry's most diligent services...
