The Charleston Gazette reports in a compact note credited to Marshall Field about an es peeen era of the newspaper.
Richard J. Ashby, known as Uncle Dick, died aged 96 in southern West Virginia. He witnessed state growth from the Andrew Jackson era to Hoover, ran the St. Albert hotel in Charleston, and was linked by friendship to John E. Kenna. His long life spanned Civil War era events and major state figures.
The Wheeling Star notes U S political tension over Hoover era prosperity and rising taxes amid stock market slump. It highlights Ben Dwight W Morrow's victory in New Jersey promoting repeal of national prohibition and return of liquor governance to states, contrasting with opponents including Frelinghuysen and Kelly.
The article notes Morrow’s upset win amid anti saloon forces and says his triumph encourages wets, portends candidacy announcements, and prompts White House support aimed at repealing the eighteenth amendment. It suggests Hoover’s endorsement marks a shift in administration stance on prohibition.
A Cincinnati doctor asserts golf harms players by raising blood pressure and provoking anger. The piece mocks the claim, noting golfers of all professions often enjoy the game, with most finding recreation and subtle stress relief rather than serious health risk. It recalls Bobby Jones’s temper and praises golf as sunshine and recreation, ending with a quip about women voters.
Unofficial Charleston reports suggest the West Virginia Board of Public Works will propose substantial increases in railroad assessed valuations for the Baltimore and Ohio Chesapeake and Ohio Norfolk and Western and Virginian railroads. The total rise could reach 80 to 100 million dollars, awaiting board action when it reconvenes Tuesday.
A long editorial fragment mixes reflections on history power and technology with social ills and Prohibition. It cites Waters murder suicide linked to stock gambling, comments on steam power, oil, radio, aviation and submarines, and notes anti and pro prohibition arguments, plus stock advertising and India unrest.
A first person travelogue describes a six day trip ending with a Montparnasse style scene in Le Havre. The narrator notes elevator boys selling champagne and porters handling luggage at different costs in the port city. He reflects on customs, tourists, and casual observations of trains, people, and scenery along the way.
Col. C. Culver, 60, traces aviation back to 1935 and flies 150 hours yearly. He argues older pilots can perform with practice and judgment, backed by a record of safe solo-flight hours and historic sea-landings, challenging the notion that aviation is strictly a young person’s game.
A montage of brief notes from Buckhannon and Morgantown items. Includes fan mail commentary to the Farm Board, local reflections on age and taxation, a remark on gender trends from the Buckhannon Record and Morgantown Dominion News, plus a short item about a Montgomery man jokingly noting luck as opportunity, and a domestic incident where a wife ends her husband's knife habit.
A reader notice presents a mixed set of Q and A items from a 1920s test, asking about Longton Silvec, events in Runnymesde, Mickey Cochrane, Mrs Algernon Sartoris, Lindbergh’s flight, and general knowledge like Curie and Major League attendance. It includes instructions to obtain a bulletin on Lindbergh and a coupon for a copy.
Reader questions about relief from constipation and heartburn prompt Dr. Peters to suggest psyllium seeds daily, bran and fruit intake, and balanced diet changes. He notes occasional flare ups are common and endorses pamphlets on reduction, hygiene, and bladder disorders while inviting readers to request general articles.
A fragmented editorial piece arguing for reason over emotion in disputes, noting farmers' use of machinery, then shifting to a discussion of brains and beauty. It cites Broadway show girls and college groups with intelligence ratings, contrasting men and women in social dating and intellect.
