State lotteries have before now been proposed in such august U. S. Legislatures as the General Court of Massachusetts, and died aborning. But Nevada is not Massachusetts. Nevada is a thinly populated State where easy divorce, open prostitution, licensed gambling and legalized cockfighting are only the more luridly publicized manifestations of a free & easy, individualist spirit deriving straight from the mining camp and cattle ranch. Realism is lent to the prospect of a tax-canceling State Lottery by the fact that Nevada has already launched an arresting promotion campaign calling attention to itself as "One Sound State" which...
Last big job of magazine writing by Mrs. Roosevelt was "Mrs. Roosevelt's Page," a feature of Crowell Publishing Co.'s sturdy Woman's Home Companion for two years from August 1933 to July 1935.* Last autumn, Mrs. Roosevelt began dictating her autobiography, carried it up to the Democratic National Convention of 1924, showed the manuscript to Franklin Roosevelt when it was done.

Ambassador von Ribbentrop did net hurry in August to his new post.

For it is from that very source that light is given our minds, ardor to our souls and supernal fecundity...
Those who feared that the maestro's great days were over were soon undeceived. In August he set musical Salzburg agog with a heaven-storming performance of Beethoven's Fidelio, a glorious Falstaff, an incomparable Die Meister singer (TIME, Aug. 24). Last December he went to Tel Aviv and, with all his oldtime brilliance, led the new Palestine Symphony through its first performance (TIME, Jan. 4). All of this encouraged U. S. music lovers to hope that the maestro was not lost to them forever...
