1932*
A dramatic note was sounded in the press this past summer with the disclosure that an abortion ring had been apprehended by the New York District Attorney's office. Chief apprehender, who rushed in at the head of his men, was none other than Asst. D. A. Carroll Boynton.
The New York Daily Mirror of Oct. 9. carried a shot of recently elevated Corporal Hosmer of the 62nd Coast Artillery in watchful anti-aircraft duty at La Guardia Field, where his battery was encamped for an eight-day test of Atlantic seaboard defenses, after its return from manoeuvres in the South.

By the time this reaches you, playgoers will be able to see Bob Ryan in a sizeable role in his first Broadway appearance, in the new Clifford Odets play, Clash byNight. The show is being produced by Billy Rose, but as a melodrama of life on Staten Island it seems a departure from the usual type of vehicle sponsored by that redoubtable showman. Tallulah Bankhead is also in the cast.
Frank Westheimer has been named an Assistant Professor in the University of Chicago's Chem. Dept. He claims to be "following the usual formula for the beam- ing parent" where Ruth, eight months, is concerned. Speculating on the fact that 9844/ of all the recent babies he has heard about are girls, whereas more boys are said to be born in wartime, his only conclusions are that (1) the U. S. is not going to war, or (2) we will have bigamy.

Last month's installment found Flash Walser proceeding up Brazil's Rio Parana in an old stern-paddle wheeler which burnt logs of wood picked up along the way. Writing from Rio de Janeiro, Whip reports that "in the last stage of the river trip we saw many crocodiles, monkeys, and flocks of tropical birds. One day we came upon a huge boa constrictor lying near the bank curled up and sunning itself. The captain stopped the boat and the crew made a couple of lassoes to try and capture it, but it got away. Too bad—it would have made a good pet for our Tenth!" In addition to the now legendary Babson Milking Machine, Whip also peddled Pfanstiehl Phonograph Needles, and Fluorescent Powder during the latter part of his trip. "I like doing business in South America," he writes. "With 'black lists' piling higher and higher, it has tremendous possibilities these days."
