...stricken Chinese refugees had surged by last week, some with cholera, some with expected smallpox and all with ravenous stomachs. "They constitute a menace to the safety of Shanghai on a par with the menace of the war itself. . . . God alone knows what will happen!" groaned International Settlement Municipal Councilman W. H. Plant. "The public little realizes the dangers Shanghai is facing. . . . These 1,500,000 people are evidently going to remain indefinitely. Food riots, epidemics and disease seem certain...

Last week in Rome some of the strides which European workmen are making toward an easier and more varied life-irrespective of what kind of regime they toil under- brought into genial conference the chief exponents of Fascist and Nazi labor: for Italy, Grand Councilman Tullio Cianetti, president of the Fascist Confederation of Industrial Workers; for Germany, Labor Front Leader Dr. Robert...

Last month Colonel & Mrs. Charles Augustus Lindbergh flew...
...Miss Nancy Vanuxem, pretty debutante daughter of Philadelphia City Councilman James Vanuxem, swathed herself in cheesecloth draperies and stepped up on a model stand holding a stuffed bittern by the right leg. It was a unique occasion in the history of U. S. art. William Rush, the first native wood carver of sufficient ability and reputation to be known as a sculptor, was at work on the first public fountain figure ever erected in the U. S., using, so far as records show, the first living female model. Years later the scene was painted by famed Thomas Eakins...
