"Old Moore" Makes Many Pre-

Once again Old Moore, the altman

amazing that it is a wonder he ever
regained consciousness.
His familiar white almanac, with
its grotesque hieroglyphics, leads off

financial exposures, outrages, MUIR

the bank president, walking away and
wondering whether Hamilton would
ever hear what had been said about
