...TIME Nov. 8. I refer to your reference to "one Katrina Borah" as Luther's second wife. Glib ignorance of an elementary historical fact which affected a great human movement so profoundly as did the marriage of Martin Luther to Katharina von Bora the Protestant Reformation reflects no credit on the reputation of pretensions of a. magazine such as yours (sic.). Katharina was Luther's first and only wife. His marriage to her, being that of a former priest to a former nun, raised a fury of opposition against him and against the religious movement of which...
...balance should be maintained between debt reductions and tax reductions which is fair to all interests in our country. We know now we shall have a considerable surplus in the fiscal year 1927 ending next June. The President has suggested a credit on taxes yet to be paid during this fiscal year, and I see no reason why the greater part of the expected surplus for 1927 might not be left in the pockets of the people of the country by a credit upon their income taxes.

...Chicago Civic Opera Company competently negotiated the first week of its repertoire. Aida was the first to be taken out of storage, dusted and dressed in all its Egyptian splendor to do credit to the opening night.

S. plane, a Curtiss Packard reputed to be capable of going 250 miles an hour. All week the flyers had been tuning up their seaplanes, practising pylon turns against a factory chimney near the Anacostia River...
...Grafters. An attractive damsel, under personal supervision of a wicked old baggage, would exploit the modern business man, remain a nice girl withal. Artfully, she barters little tokens of self-respect for ten dollar bills, dinners, gowns, invitations to the country. As it must, under even the most liberal credit system, there comes a day of reckoning. The poor girl has but one asset. She surrenders her virtuous distinction. A little moth, a little flame, a little singe-it is nothing to bring a lump to the throat. Katharine Alexander makes it more interesting than it deserves...
