...effective bid for publicity, it is becoming apparent that beneath the external hullabaloo there is at least some basis for such an indictment. Felix Frankfurter's "hot dogs," the youthful element which he has introduced into the Roosevelt circle, have been using the word "revolution" with careless abandon. Mr. Richberg in several of his speeches has said we are in the midst of one. People acquainted with debonair Rexford Tugwell, knee deep in ideas for economic planning, are not in the least sure that he does not consider Roosevelt another Kerensky.

Newborn babies breathe once or twice, then breathe no more. . . . In these ways and in many another Death by Asphyxia comes some 50,000 times a year...
...previously undefeated Dartmouth Freshman basketball team, the Harvard 1937 five ran up a big second half score to win 35 to 29 in the preliminary to the Varsity game on Saturday night.
