Into the vacant Assistant Secretaryship in June 1937 stepped Legionnaire Johnson. In the newspapers began to appear paragraphs like the following: ". . .

McNutt, will soon be ex-High Commissioner of the Philippines. . . .

At the end of the week unofficial tabulations revealed that the skirt, so far as length was concerned, was precisely where the summer left it - 13½ to 15½ in. from the ground.
