...Chocolate-Maker Gibbs not worry, TiME-readers, alert, would not miss the point, so enticing is chocolate, laxative pills covered with it had best be kept out of the reach of babes...
...Some were "greater" financiers than others in their day. Some took more active parts than others in Edisonizing the U. S. For a broad view, however, of the background against which electric light was developed in the U. S., none of them is more typical or important than the alert little old-school gentleman who, on his 82nd birthday last month, was not the least perturbed about receiving congratulations at one moment, entertaining grandchildren the next and sitting for the portrait (see front cover) in between...

Then concerning Catholics, Dr. Wilson added: "The Catholic Church has long had a headquarters here from which they have no hesitancy in conferring with Senators and other government officials, and not a Methodist pulpit in the land has made any special protest against that right." Alert Washingtonians thereupon expected that yet another open letter would appear in print, this time from Catholics to Methodists. Next day such a letter did appear, by Patrick J. Ward, director of the National Catholic Welfare Conference at Washington. He, like Dr. Wilson, denied that his own organization was political, declared...
