...enterprising Post-Dispatch produced evidence to show that an infant previously planted in the Muench home in July had subsequently died. The rival Star-Times turned up clues indicating that the "gift of God'' belonged to Anna Ware, not to Mrs. Muench, whose marriage had been childless for 23 years. After a change of venue, Mrs. Muench was acquitted of the kidnapping charge by a jury of farmers and small shopkeepers at Mexico, Mo. (TIME, Oct. 21). Under terrific pressure from Press and public, the habeas corpus hearing began in St. Louis only ten days later. Some strange...
...Louise Brown in Perry, Me. 65 years ago this week. She was graduated from Mount Holyoke in 1892, taught school in White River Junction, Vt., Rockville, Conn. and Mount Clemens, Mich.

Twice married but childless, fatherly Dean Pound has helped many a student through social and financial troubles. Roscoe Pound's day begins at 6:30 a. m., ends at midnight. Often he spends most of it inside his walnut horseshoe desk which is lined with some 300 books. When he wants one he spins around...
Panayoti Tsaldaris, though determined to restore the Throne and strong with the prestige of having just put down a Republican Revolution, is somewhat skittish about her cousin, ex-King Georgios II. One year was the short span of "Gorgeous Georgios' " kingship twelve years ago, and his childless ex-Queen divorced him recently (TIME, July 15). Two months ago Marina let it be understood that she, at any rate, is fecund. Last week the British public was supposed to think that the prospective young mother was merely resting in Yugoslavia at Prince Paul's romantic Bohinjsko Castle where...
