...sentence of the World Court which took from her East Greenland, gave it to Denmark (TIME, April 17, 1933). For this act of Christian resignation, most Norwegians think, Premier Mowinckel ought to have received the Nobel Peace Prize. Instead last week Johan Ludwig Mowinckel was charged with the chore of presenting the 1934 Peace Prize to a Briton who has done his best to earn it by being President of the League's Disarmament Conference. Nobody knows better than famed "Uncle Arthur" Henderson that his Conference has done little or nothing, got nowhere...
...discoverers always sailed quickly away from what they thought to be a barren, blasted land populated by brutes. This autumn Australia has played lavish host to George V's third son, Henry, Duke of Gloucester, who sailed home last week after his most exhausting royal chore since Abyssinia (TIME, Nov. io; 1930). From one end of the Commonwealth to the other, H. R. H. has helped celebrate the 100th anniversary of the day when one Edward Henty landed a stake of cattle, poultry and ploughs in what is now Victoria. Since then Victoria has become the most thickly populated corner...
...using a spoon and holding the tin dish between her leg-paws. For luncheon and dinner she prefers veal, chicken, steak, refuses lamb, pork or fish. Affectionate, she likes to pick choice bits from her dish, offer them to Dr. Raven. Nights she sleeps in a cage. Her daily chore is to help with the sweeping. Meshie lavishes her greatest affection on Mary, aged 2. Until lately, when Meshie's strength became dangerous, she played with Mary, coddled her, fed her milk from a bottle (see cut). Biggest reward for good behavior that Meshie can get is to ride...
...open Parliament with bland, lumpish little Crown Prince Mihai at his side. From the Throne, His Majesty announced that the Rumanian Army-already larger than the U. S. Army-must be further enlarged and equipped with even better Krupp guns "because of the prevailing international insecurity." That chore done, the state carriage clop-clopped back toward the palace. Suddenly a man darted from the crowd, thrust something into the laps of the King and Crown Prince. As at Marseille when King Alexander of Yugoslavia was assassinated (TIME, Oct. 15), the usual ornate, equestrian guard spurred forward a few seconds late...
...Manhattan, Mrs. Nelle Brooke Stull, founder and president of the Widows' & Widowers' Club, arrived from Elyria,Ohio, to perform her "favorite chore," that of "Hymen's assistant." Countess Eugenie Zicha of Prague had also arrived in Manhattan. So had Jacob Miller of Ontario and Theodore Kabelac of Philadelphia who eyed each other coldly, were united only in eagerness to meet the Countess. Fairly bubbling with excitement, roly-poly Mrs. Stull toddled about her hotel room to get the Countess and her two breathless suitors "properly introduced." After a study of their handwritings and an earnest consultation with...
