Odds, Ends

The first job Philip Sidney Hanna ever had, 19 years ago, was on the Economist, Chicago financial weekly now owned by Knowlton Lyman ("Snake") Ames, built up by his eldest son, "Snake" Jr. (now publisher of the Chicago Evening-Post), and published, with the Chicago Journal of Commerce, by younger son John Dawes Ames. Last week Phil Hanna returned to the same scene as editor of the Journal of Commerce. He will also have much to say in the Economist. For the last ten years Reporter Hanna has been a potent financial writer in Detroit, since 1924 Detroit representative of the Wall Street Journal. Also he wrote a weekly business editorial in the Detroit

Saturday Night, achieved some note for a series of articles in The Bridle and Golfer called "Unbridled Hints for Stable Investment."

P: When there appears a newspaperwoman who is not only beauteous but has an English accent, she is likely to enjoy a certain advantage over her sisters in newsgathering in the U. S. From London to Manhattan last fortnight came such a reporter, Margaret Lane, daughter of Editor-in-Chief Harry George Lane of the Northcliffe newspapers (Daily Mail, Daily Mirror, Evening News, etc.). On leave of absence from her job on Lord Beaverbrook's London Express, bitter rival of her father's organization, Miss Lane found work with Hearst's International News Service. Her first assignment was the Collings murder case of which she said in Publishers' Service, tradepaper: "I found the Collings mys tery very funny. . . . Everyone was so casual and friendly. I found policemen with their coats off, their feet up on the desk, talking freely and smoking. . . . There were ten reporters on the story and everyone of them helped me." Subsequent assignments last week: an interview with Prof. Elisha Kent Kane, accused of uxoricide; a visit to the vaults of the Federal Reserve Bank to look at $2,000,000,000 in gold.
