...Emerson last year. "Stop making respirators," said President Lowell in effect. "I will like hell!" roared young Emerson, long, lean son of long, lean Public Health Man Dr. Haven Emerson of Manhattan, and strode out of the presidential mansion. He loaded a respirator on the rear end of his rebuilt Buick, and with his wife went peddling respirators in competition with Harvard's long, lean Professor Philip Drinker. Professor Drinker, through Warren E. Collins Inc., the cautious Boston manufacturers to whom he assigned patents on the respirator which has saved hundreds of chest paralyzed cases, sued rambunctious John Haven...
...Nationalist Government was bound last week that if Henry Pu Yi is to return to his old home in the spring, that home will be empty. They had still another reason for moving the treasure. Nanking, the ramshackle half-rebuilt new capital of China, has always been jealous of the solid magnificence that the Manchus gave Peiping.

As German Chancellor for nine months (1922-23) Dr. Cuno deliberately inflated the mark in an effort to force a Reparations moratorium from the Allies. Succeeded as Chancellor by the late, great Dr. Gustav Stresemann, Dr. Cuno rebuilt the Hamburg-American Line (stripped by the Allies down to 4.000 tons in 1918) up to its present 1.087,175 tons...
...Brothers Vaccaro. The Mosses ran a small insurance agency inherited from their father. Mike Moss persuaded the Vaccaros to invest their millions in things other than bananas. They bought the famed Grunewald Hotel, paying for it with Liberty Bonds dug out of a safety deposit box. They rebuilt it as the Roosevelt, "biggest hotel in the Deep South." Mike Moss, a tun-bellied man with a tiny bald head, was made manager. The Vaccaros backed Union Indemnity with slender, bespectacled, drawling Brother Irving Moss as president. New Orleans, where race is viewed frankly, chuckled: "Watch what happens now! The Jews...
