...impatience to leave for a "vacation" in Switzerland sounded, especially in view of his holiday in England only a few weeks prior, like an effort to gloss over the massacre. Last week came proof it was no such thing. The Assyrian trouble was quieted, but not a disturbance in lean, seamy-faced Feisal's heart. One afternoon in Berne, having consulted with his Foreign Minister General Nuri Pasha and his brother Prince Ali on the prospect of the League of Nations investigating the Assyrian deaths, Feisal became seriously ill with a heart attack.

...wheat as far back as the records go. We have followed this golden grain through thousands of years into antiquity, and out of this fascinating research has come this outstanding indisputable fact: wheat always has been the index to the price of all other commodities.

That was enough to make 1933 a memorable season for Pitcher Hubbell but he was not satisfied. Last week, in the fourth inning of a game between Boston and the Giants, he had a chance to break the National League record of 44 consecutive scoreless innings, made by Pitcher Ed Reulbach of the Chicago Cubs in 1908. The first batter hit a fly. Next man up was Wally Berger...
