...public's sake this impression should be corrected. This type of levitation trick was sold by Martinko & Co., 635 Sixth Ave., New York City, 35 years ago and was discarded by magicians because of its crudeness and as explained by TIME any person not totally blind could easily see through the trick. For a "consideration" I will gladly duplicate the trick in my own parlor using a broom instead of a stick and without flowing robes, wild eyes etc. and before any committee TIME wishes to choose.

...Your frontier is our frontier! . . . One of the realities of which my British compatriots sometimes lose sight is that friendship between Britain and France is not a question of sentiment or even of choice. There still are today many Englishmen who are so blind in their prejudices that they sincerely believe Britain entered the War from sheer kindness of heart, solely in order to aid her friends, the French. We entered the War because our vital interests were at stake and because our lives were endangered. We must stand together in a defense of our common civilization against barbarism...
...hundred Los Angeles women were known to be blind or partly so with cataracts last week as result of taking dinitrophenol to reduce.

...tune of Three Blind Mice became paired with Oh! Susanna as a major overtone of 1936 only by accident. The rhythm of Senator Steiwer's keynote phrase, "Three long years!" automatically evoked the old nursery jingle. Prompt to answer the Republican parody were Democratic versions recalling the twelve long years of Harding, Coolidge and Hoover. But Oh! Susanna was not revived by accident. Governor Landon's efficient handlers had searched carefully for a tune to set him to, a tune that could surely be plugged into another Banana Song. After discarding a "We Want Landon" chant...
...fascists camp on the farm to protect it from the police. During this imbroglio, Mary's high-minded lover is pushed off a wagon by a policeman. This dislodges two pieces of shrapnel left in his brain since the War, with the result that he goes blind. Mary thereupon regrets her previous highmindedness, offers herself to her lover, but his regard for her husband has deepened with his loss of sight, and it is his turn to do the rejecting. Mary, who expected nothing in the first place, does not seem particularly disappointed...
