Salt Lake City, which has not re-elected a mayor since 1912, kept tradition intact last week. Out went Mayor David Abbott ("Honest Ab") Jenkins, 60, famed as the nation's fastest driver, who had ridden triumphantly into office in his speed-bug, but had promptly smashed up in quarrels with the city commissioners.

Raiziss of Abbott Laboratories reported in Science that disodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate diamino-diphenylsulfone (short name: Diasone) is the best drug yet used to treat guinea pigs newly infected with tuberculosis.

Although the picture requires a good deal of imagination on the part of the audience for fall enjoyment it makes up for this evident weakness by fine Technicolor and of course by the presence of Harry James. The James band is not hidden away in the near distant scenery and plays nine songs. Maestro Harry cracks a few jokes and pushes his trumpet around the dance floor several times...
