...know if Mr. Babson had told his businessmen subscribers, in a special letter of his Babson's Reports, that U. S. churches have accumulated "useless customs and cobwebs"? Had he further remarked that the German Government in emphasizing a creed based on "four simple but vital foundations" (Faith, Blood, Sacrifice, Love) "may be taking a forward step which our churches should have taken long...
...make its own way as a serious literary work, is hard to say. On the literary side the book is a straight throwback to Kipling and Jack London- a story involving the hazards of convoying merchant ships during the War, with a hero who, through duty and red-hot blood rather than patriotism, faces death as manfully as love.

As bait for flounders, weakfish and porgies they have no peers, the sandworm being especially alluring in spring and autumn, the blood worm in deep summer. Few years ago when salt water worms were rare, fishermen in Long Island Sound were willing to pay as much as 75? a dozen for them. Standard price in this year's well-organized market...
