Of course it is not all pictures and information; a good half at-least is made up of advertising, a necessary evil as we well know. But even these are inter- esting, especially to Canadian read- ers. The ads for casinos and saloons at Las Vegas read naughtily titillat- ing to these staid eyes, and extoll the respective advantages of their par- ticular gaming tables and cocktail |- lounges.

Several. pages are given over to reproductions of the Examiner's front pages over the years, and I found this particularly interesting. It seems somewhat amazing to read of these fabled world events in cold print and to understand that they really hap- pened. And some of it seems strange- ly repetitious and you have to check to see what year it happened. In 1903 the headlines read... . “Russian Fleet Sails. U.S. Marines enter Seoul Despite Protest of Kor- Yes, this is 1908, not 1950. And later “‘Titanis Sinks; 1335 Missing; 866 Saved; Many Millionaires Re- ported Drowned.” This disaster is d scribed as the greatest in histo when the world’s greatest steamship is torn by an iceberg and sinks. Up to 1913, black headlines de- serfhe the famous San Francisco Earthquake . . . ‘People fleeing from Doomed City Seek Refuge from Flames. Every Means of Flight sought by Panic Stricken Citizens.” And another tragedy ... . “571 Dead; Women and Children Burned to Death in Chicago fire when Iroquois ‘Theatre goes up in Flames. . . Bodies heaped to ceiling in passages.” And still more in this period “Arch- duke Francis Ferdinand and Wife Assassinated, paving the way for World War I”; another ship disas- ter when ‘1300 Reported Drowned on Torpedoed Liner Lusitania”. . . and then “House Votes War: 373 to 50.” Up to 1923, the headlines read “Germany Surrenders” and thé “President is Dead!” (meaning Presi- dent Harding). Lindberg flies to Paris in 33%4 hours, “Valentino's body to lie in State for Several Days,” and first intimation of the famed Depression era... ‘“‘Bankers ease Credit to aid Stock Brokers.” Up to 1933, the main news head- lines were of the kidnapping of Lind- berg’s baby, the big earthquake which shook all of Southern Califor- nia killing 150, Amelia Barhart, fam- ous aviatrix, is lost; and then in huge 2” headlines... “Hitler At War!” Up to 1943 includes the news that the Japs have Blasted Hawaii, Roose- velt Dies, the first Atom Bomb Is dropped on Hiroshima, V-E Day Offi- cial, and U.S. Plane Flies 900 MPH to break the Sound Barrier. And then we come up to 1953 when headlines proclaim “War is Ended” (Korean war, this time) and the “Ike Landslide sweeps the Republicans to Victory in first win since 1928.
