Platinum core lamp and scattered economic notes
A Cleveland inventor claims a platinum core changes loud clamor to a dull thud. The era sees estimates of 176 million invested in Swiss hotels and US tourists paying hidden interest. Reports mention the Kansas law on married men, rising cost of living in places like New York and Chicago film plans, a brain operation that failed, Rockefeller giving cents to children, and local notices on land entries, laundry, and obituaries.
