When Chicago's William Hale ("Big Bill") Thompson was loudly gunning for "stool pigeons of King George" eight years ago, the best he could bring down was William Andrew Me Andrew, the city's white-bearded school superintendent whom Mayor William Dever had imported from New York. "Big Bill" flung abuse at Superintendent McAndrew, made a great hullabaloo about "pro-British" history textbooks, finally got himself elected Mayor. Superintendent McAndrew watched the Thompson antics with fine disdain, stood a farcical trial for insubordination, finally retired to East Setauket, N. Y. There he edits the "Educational Review" in School...
...through an old soldier's repertoire of battles, Wehib Pasha finally worked up to 1935 and boomed: "The English might conquer Ethiopia or even the French, never the Italians! "It is an axiom that even water will follow the English. They move slowly, never outrunning their communications. They bring water for their troops, as well as victuals. At Gallipoli they suffered horribly at first for water; when they withdrew I myself saw that they had installed running pipes, with hydrants, in their trenches.

...Empire's spokesman of last week, Japanese Military Attaché at Shanghai General Rensuke Isogai, began by saying: "I hope the Chinese people themselves will bring about all the changes necessary to produce a stable Chinese Government under a responsible leader with whom Japan can deal. . . .

...Hymn No. 279 was written by the most famed U. S. pulpit orator of this generation, Harry Emerson Fosdick: God of grace and God of glory, on thy people pour thy power; Crown thine ancient Church's story, bring her bud to glorious flower. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage. For the facing of this hour, for the facing of this hour. Thanks to Dean Robert Guy Mc-Cutchan of DePauw University, Methodists are given some tunes new to the hymnal. Against strong opposition, the commission voted to include Auld Lang Syne and the famed Irish Londonderry...
...drums and cymbals to beguile him for an evening. In true Elizabethan style, the tale of Petruchio and his truculent bride Katharine is interrupted from time to time while tumblers, a tenor, a troupe of midgets take the stage. Within the play itself, the Lunts have felt free to bring in any amount of extraneous horseplay that might add freshness and fun to their antic. Thus, as plain Kate, bonny Kate and sometimes Kate the curst, Miss Fontanne stalks about in a torn white gown with hair in her eyes, kicks people in the fundament, hurls bedding out a second...
