...Washington's Mayflower Hotel last week ambled two cows, two horses, five sheep, seven dogs, a covey of Congressmen. At the far end of the ballroom a tier of seats was jammed with spectators. On the sawdust-sprinkled floor, a man in white moved into a spotlight to pour several gallons of Epsom salts through a tube into a cow's stomach. The show was no circus, but a serious scientific meeting-one of the clinical sessions of the American Veterinary Association's annual convention...

Rubber Co. with a $2,000,000 fortune, which he proceeded to give away and to pour down a series of dry holes in the oil country around Luling, Tex. A $57,000 loan from Friend Seiberling tided him over until his North & South Development Co. struck oil at a spot he was sure Divine Providence had picked for him. In 1926 he sold his oil properties...
