...where little was done but review finances, re-elect the man who has headed the order since 1903-Adolphus Robert Talbot. Big-featured President Talbot is a 78-year-old lawyer who was once the partner of William Jennings Bryan. A strait-laced Methodist, he does not smoke, drink, chew or play cards. Having fathered two daughters and a son, he lives with his wife in Lincoln, Neb., likes to putter with flowers. His chief boast: neither the Modern Woodmen or any other top-flight U. S. fraternal insurance society has ever failed...
...screen, the competition between Bernie and Winchell is definitely unfair. Muttering "Yowsah," "Mosta of the bestah," and other dubious coinages with which he has enriched the U. S. language, Bernie manages to chew his cigar with dignity but otherwise does himself less than justice.

He makes the surface of false bicuspids and molars practically flat, sets the bicuspids and first molars a little higher in their cases than the other false teeth, and a trifle offset. This compels the lower jaw to move straight up and down against the upper jaw, instead of in the natural scissors movement. The extra height of the middle teeth prevents Dr. Sears's patients from shutting their jaws completely. Only way to do that and to bite into food is to thrust out the lower...
...most certainly made a red-hot enemy of the Reds of Russia last week, and European observers were inclined to think that intuitive Adolf Hitler had in this deal outsmarted the Imperial Government of the Son of Heaven. Japan already has bitten off in China all she can effectively chew, and only last week the Soviet Union finally completed their duplicate "behind the mountains'' strategic railway paralleling the Trans-Siberian and permitting Russia more effectively than ever before to fight Japan...
