As Clever as a Cat

... Airgead Sios is a wonder horse over fences. He makes mistakes, but, left to his own devices, he is as clever as a cat in keeping his feet.

A Car for Economy Times

... By Highwayman ADOLF HITLER put a spoke in many Midland wheels when he started the trouble in September, but during my little tour in those parts the other day I found nobody with quite so strong a grievance against him as the Hillman people. They were within three days of launching a new model of which they were-- and are-- very proud. Everything was ready, the car tested and in production, ...

Hard Court Championships by a few hours, so we were spared a repetition of last year's drollery, when R. A. Shayes was going down to G. E. Godsell at the very hour he was being chosen. I suppose the new team will have been looked upon as fair game by all the others at ...
