...week brought one decisive step closer to solution. Senator Joseph T. Robinson, deputed by the President to formulate a compromise on the question of enlarging the Supreme Court (TIME, June 14), last week made his choice and trotted it out before the Senate for a showdown. The bill he chose was modeled after one originally sponsored by Senators Hatch of New Mexico and Logan of Kentucky. Its chief terms as compared to those of the President's original proposal...
...shut the mill (TIME, June 28). So there was no violence of consequence in Johnstown. Where three others had fumbled, Governor Earle had made a putout. Last week he justified the Cambria shut-down by saying: "In this crisis the choice to be made was lives or dollars. I chose lives. . . ."

For his theme he chose The Birth of Energy and his uncompromising, starkly modeled figures represented such ideas as Primal Energy (a nude man blowing the breath of life into an atom), The Brain (a figure holding a winged skull), Manliness (a figure whose physical attributes were very obvious). Preachers and conservative editors roared denunciation...
...would know no bounds. He had fun preparing a ritual but was stumped for a name for his new order. Then in church one Sunday he heard a minister use the simile of woodmen clearing away the forest near their homes for safety's sake. Promptly Founder Root chose the name Modern Woodmen of America. Local lodges were called Camps, members Neighbors. A beetle, ax and wedge were chosen as symbols. Original membership...
