...possible to do so!* Capone has become almost a mythical being, but he isn't a myth-he's a reptile. He deserves to die. He has no right to live." Gathering of corset-makers that night hailed Judge Lyle as "our next mayor." New Move. Four agencies were at work in the nation's two largest cities last week to abate the pestilence of gangdom. In Manhattan the police department announced it would weed out criminal aliens from the daily lineup, turn them over to the Federal agency for deportation. As part of the Department...

Observers realized that until former Prime Minister Andre Tardieu was completely whitewashed of any complicity in the swindles of Banker Albert Oustric it would be impossible for him to succeed to the prime ministry on the fall of the Steeg cabinet, a move which many French newspapers continued to urge last week.

At last Ambassador Dawes arose, explained, introducing Errol, but some guests, unused to U. S. and New South Wales humor, failed to laugh. Offstage he looks unprepossessing. In his act he still wears the pair of Congress gaiters which he used in his first U. S. appearance...
...unemployed, 70,000 people, including Secretary of the Navy Adams and Secretary of War Hurley paid $600,000 to see West Point play Annapolis on a sunny afternoon in Manhattan, first Army-Navy game since 1927. Army's attack functioned smartly and the Navy backs could not move far when they had the ball, which was not often. But Navy's Captain Blimp Bowstrom was punting perfectly and the big Navy line always held when it had to. For three periods both teams played hard, tense, defensive football. Then came a play on which Navy overshifted a little...
