January 31, 1930
January 31, 1930 does not read like one neat chapter. It has Simmons's Stock Crisis Speech Attains Record Circulation, Woman Forger Sentenced, Man, 100, Run Down By Truck Refuses Aid and Goes Home sharing the page, which gives the day a messy, useful pulse: Money, Crime & Courts, News, Culture, all happening at once.
