England, the cradle of the Railway, is still served by world's fastest non-stop trains. Last week, England's first regularly operating sleeping-bus service, a rival of its railways, began operation.

On the way the bus stopped at Darlington Station from which, in 1825, chuffed forth the first steam train. Each sleeper was served "early morning tea" in his sleeping-berth...

Disguised as entertainers, they are admitted to a country estate where he is sojourning. They put on a dance which is really a fight for a camera crank, with Miss Pat kicking, biting, and wrapping her legs about the neck of Scoop Morgan...

It took a shrewd judge of men to handle the lanky Texans who ambled into the Citizens National Bank of Ballinger. And when this bank merged with its rival, the First National, and Melvin Traylor became president, he needed as much good banking sense to manage a capital of $200,000 as he needs today to direct a bank with resources of over...
