...goad the audience, is not so cynical as it will sound to some. Even for those who are not consciously working toward any specific objective, college is more than an empty last resource. The comparatively leisurely life of the undergraduate is a welcome boon to those who are anxious to investigate as many of life's possibilities as they can.

What has made His Majesty so anxious for so much unpleasant advice? He is trying to avoid what threatens to amount to a trial of the Royal Family by the Spanish people. Up to last week His Majesty had hoped that he could wind up the Spanish Dictatorship by merely proclaiming elections (TIME, Feb. 16), and allowing a constitutional Cortes (Parliament) to be elected "as if nothing had happened"-i.e. as if the constitution had not been virtually suspended and the Cortes totally suppressed since 1923.

By 1929 McClintic-Marshall was doing a $50,000,000-a-year business, had a 600,000-ton capacity. Its only sizable competitor was American Bridge Co., subsidiary of United States Steel Corp.

...friends and acquaintances in theatre lobbies and other public places. Broadwayfarers were still repeating last week a typical Beaton bonmot applied month ago to a famed, garish nightclub personality : "My dear, how too, too vomitous!" In his suite at the Ritz last week orchidaceous Mr. Beaton received reporters anxious to learn a few facts about a young man who has in the past three years sketched or photographed most of the famed beauties of Britain and the U. S., has written dozens of chatty articles for international smartcharts. Attired in orange-&-white pajamas, dressing gown of black-&-white corded silk...
