Saturday, March 20, 1926. Coup in China.
General Chiang Kai-shek carried out a purge of Communists from the Republic of China's military and the Kuomintang party, In doing it, Chiang declared martial law in the Republic's capital at Guangzhou essentially effecting a coup.
While a major event, it's surprisingly understudied and the details are murky. At the time, Chiang maintained he was acting first in the face of an impending Communist coup. While its not at all clear that was the case, and many people assert it was a pretext, even the Communist have never had all that much to say about this event.
It was a Saturday.

Saturday, November 3, 1945. Chinese Civil War, Game Wardens Killed.
China's civil war was acknowledged now to be a major conflict and two Game Wardens were found dead near Rawlins.
The Chinese Civil War was the topic of a political cartoon as well.
The murdered Game Wardens were Bill Lakanen and Don Simpson who were killed by ardent Nazi sympathizer and German immigrant Johann Malten. The same Game Wardens had arrested Malten for game violations when investigating, interestingly enough, claims that Malten had been involved in espionage and was relaying weather reports on shortwave, something that was illegal during the war when there was a blackout on weather reporting as the information was useful to submarines. Upon visiting Malten's cabin in the Sierra Madres they found he had committed numerous game violations.
On this occasion they were stopping by to see if Malten had continued to ignore the law. They were shot down out of hand when they arrived.
Malten burned his cabin down and it was officially reported that he'd died within it, although the evidence of that is very poor. There were reported sightings of him for years thereafter.
And a selection of 1945 cartoons.
The 3 November 1945 declaration was made in Indonesia, encouraging the formation of political parties as part of an anticipated Indonesian democracy.
Irvin Charles Mollison was sworn in as a U.S. Customs Court judge in New York City. He the first African-American to serve on the federal bench within the continental United States.

Lex Anteinternet: Capitalism is based on the idol of money.
Lex Anteinternet: Capitalism is based on the idol of money.:
Capitalism is based on the idol of money.
In reality, capitalism is based on the idol of money. The lure of gain gradually destroys all social bonds. Capitalism devours itself. Little by little, the market destroys the value of work. Man becomes a piece of merchandise. He is no longer his own. The result is a new form of slavery, a system in which a large part of the population is dependent on a little caste.

Monday, March 31, 1924. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. (actually III) and the Teapot Dome Affair, Making Working Girls Homeless, and the Start of the Fishing Season.
Democrats were attacking Theodore Roosevelt, Jr's supposed role in Teapot Dome. This Theodore Roosevelt was serving as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, that position now effectively being a Roosevelt one, with he being the third Roosevelt to occupy it.
Too many "girls" were occupying boarding houses on West A, B, and 1st Streets, which was causing the Casper Police Chief to counsel against allowing more boarding houses and to close the existing ones.
Without really detailing the article, what the Chief meant was that there were too many working girls in the Sandbar District for effective policing.
Dr. Morad was robbed at gunpoint.
The houses were closed, Casper's other paper noted:
Casper was not a nice town.
The police effort against the working girls in the 20s would fail. It would take at least into the 1950s to really make a dent in the trade they occupied in the Sandbar, and it was finally shut down when an urban renewal project in the 1970s.
Wyoming doesn't have a fishing season per se now. You can fish all year around. Apparently, at the time, fishing opened on April 1.
A big difference between then and now is the extensive Wyoming Game and Fish hatchery system. It existed in 1924, but it's been much expanded.
Money for a fish hatchery was first appropriated by the legislature in 1895. I don't know if one was built at the time, but the oldest continually operating one in the state is the Story Fish Hatchery, which was built in 1909.
Imperial Airways was founded by way of the merger of the Handley Page Transport, Instone Air Line, Daimler Airway and British Marine Air Navigation Co Ltd. airways.
