Near the bottom of the front page is a two column heading: "Dollfuss Tires of Jokes on His Size And Orders an End to Their Telling" First report coverage on Austrian Chancellor, Engelbert Dollfuss, banning jokes about his height in Austria.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 46 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
