TIL that Mabel Walker Willebrandt, the highest-ranking woman in the US federal government at the time as U.S. Assistant Attorney General from 1921-1929, came up with the idea of prosecuting major crime figures for income tax evasion, which led to the successful prosecution of Al Capone in 1931.

In the UK, 1931, the Conservative party achieved an absolute majority with 55% of the popular vote and 470 seats. Why did they not form a government of their own, but instead form a national government with the Liberal parties and with National Labour's Ramsay Macdonald as Prime Minister?

TIL the US national anthem exists because of a cartoon. In 1929, a cartoon in "Ripley's Believe It or Not" pointed out the US had no national anthem. This led to a petition signed by 5M people to Congress, and in 1931 President Hoover signed into law the Star Spangled Banner as the national anthem.

Military Headstones in Hamilton Cemetery deaths marked 1929-1931
There is an area in the Hamilton Cemetery of Military headstones all grouped together (about 30) with deaths from 1929-31. All ranging in age of 30-55.
Would these have been soldiers who returned after WW1? or is there a part of military history I canβt find.

WAMPAS Baby Stars Names: 1922-1929, 1931-1932, 1934
There was a recent discussion about Hollywood names, and why they were so unique (I think the conclusion was reached that they had to have unique names for the acting unions/groups - but also that some go by middle names, and others have names that might seem unique to some, but aren't unique for their background).

TIL the dollar bill has been the same since 1929. The reason is that the government thinks no one would take the trouble of counterfeiting such a low denomination currency and hence it does not need the fancy updates or security features seen in the higher value currencies.
