Fifty years ago few divorced persons were so brazen as to appear in any church. But like the horseless carriage, divorce has since become such a commonplace (16 out of every 100 U.

That Man in the White House he goes stiff all over, closes his eyes, opens his mouth, and lets go. He believes the way to get rid of the New Deal is to blow the House down. At such times, like the brazen-throated Greek warrior Stentor, his voice is "as loud as fifty other men." Fortnight ago Mr. Taber had one of his shouting-fits, during debate on the Wage & Hour amendments. At one point, just as he let go his full bellow, he almost swallowed the microphone.
