June 20 I traveled eastward, primarily to attend the Tenth Anniversary (Pioneers') Convention of the National Federation of Business & Professional Women's Clubs at Mackinac Island, Mich. That over, because it would be some weeks before I could tackle TIMES piled up during my absence-and especially because of interest as to how TIME would report this 1929 Convention of over 1200 B. and P. women of these U. S. and Canada-for the following two weeks I purchased TIME on New York newsstands...
...Mackinac Island (Mich.) summer home Mrs. Hert was "hopeful" that the National Committee would pick Mrs. Worthington Scranton of Pennsylvania as her successor as No. 2 driver of the steamroller. Marion Marjorie Scranton, tall, stylish daughter-in-law of the family that founded and named Scranton, was once (in a nominating speech) called "God's greatest gift to mankind."

Prohibition, so burning a question that it is almost certain to provoke heated debate, they did not even mention. Among prominent governors present were Lennington Small, Illinois; John E. Martineau, Arkansas; Ed Jackson, Indiana; John Hammill, Iowa; Ralph O. Brewster, Maine (president of the conference) ; and Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland. Among prominent governors...
Hoover. Mr. Hoover was scheduled to speak at the Governor's Conference on Mackinac Island, Mich. (see POLITICAL NOTES). When he was unable to attend, his place was taken, spontaneously, by onetime Governor Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania. The substitution made a very considerable difference in the nature of the speech delivered, for Mr. Pinchot vigorously attacked the Federal Government for entrusting flood control to Army engineers, and Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago expressed his total lack of confdence in the flood-prevention measures recently (TIME, Aug. 1) expounded by Mr. Hoover at Rapid City. Mr. Pinchot termed...
