Philadelphia on New Year's Day hosts a famed mummers parade with elaborate robes and hundreds of participants. Kings, pages, clowns, and comic fronts parade from morning to night, reviewed at City Hall, then followed by a night of red fire and street color as the carnival-like excitement peaks.
W. H. Collins plans to start building a new island villa on a small Balboa Balboa Island tract in southern California. The project aims to make the villa a premier coastal attraction as plans move forward for cutting land from the north end of the Balboa property.
The project outlines a dredged 500 by 250 ft island separated by a concrete and stone retaining wall in an oval layout. A concrete arch bridge will connect to the main island and a mission style reinforced concrete house 50 by 80 ft centers the site. Four entrances, pergola treated piers, terraced grounds and sunken gardens frame the walks to wall gates.
Leslie M. Shaw former secretary spoke to about 400 businessmen in Indianapolis arguing for a central bank and predicting standard oil influence. He described a new cinema development allowing clear daylight exhibitions with lanterns behind a screen and no need for dark rooms to avoid panic.

Mr Shaw says it would be un-American for any group to hold power to contract or expand currency and to grant or withhold credit at will. He even suggests accepting control by Standard Oil or United States Steel, or both, if fit for the task.
