...evening of October 16, the treaty was signed while church bells rang and a crowd clamored outside the town hall. It was brought to the window, lighted like an ikon. Mussolini took a special train from Rome to Milan, drove a racing car from Milan to Stresa, a speedboat from Stresa to Locarno. Briand, always in bed by nine if possible, was asleep two hours after the signing. But he was stirred: "It is ended," he said later, "that long war between us.

...ARCHITECTURAL FORUM for April brought discussion of low-cost houses down to brass tacks, the two sharpest being 1) that more than 70% of U.

Robinson and his son Dr. Gerard Briscoe Robinson, a graduate of Yale Medical School) to continue their business of diagnosing and prescribing asthma medicine through the mail. Under the 1938 Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, this practice is illegal. To comply with the Act, which goes into effect next June, Robinson patients will have to come to Mount Gilead for treatment...
