...White House with alarm on his lips. Cotton had dropped 40 to 50 points (TIME, Oct. 4), following the publication of the Department of Agriculture's estimate of a superabundant crop. Forthwith, President Coolidge announced that the Farm Labor Board would extend a $30,000,000 credit to co-operative marketing associations which had been hit by the slump in cotton prices. The next day, the President appointed Secretaries Mellon, Hoover, Jardine and Eugene Meyer Jr., Managing Director of the War Finance Corp., as a commission to devise orderly methods of selling the large cotton stock on hand...
...wilderness, but the total effect was unconvincing. The part requires too long a performance of sustained excellence. Miss Francesca Braggiotti, to come to the more important matter of Salome and the Seven Veils, was not quite all we dropped for from that mad, bad daughter of Herodias. To give credit where credit is due, her dancing far surpassed her acting, although in a fury--which seems to have been Salome's favorite mood--she was as sibilant as a cage full of pythons...
...complicated training, are perfunctorily instructed by an uma.† Both geisha and joro girls are purchased in their ^eens from impoverished parents, about $500 being the lowest price deemed appropriate for a girl of geisha calibre.

It is a tense, well-constructed play, dealing with the plight of an Urning among men. The girl struggles against a homosexual compulsion with all the vigor of human will, only to succumb inevitably to her own nature, consumed entirely by Lesbian fires. Men, uncomprehending, fail to help her to escape from herself. She must return to her own. Perhaps the play's weakness lies in just the same...
...said to me: 'Make my hair curl like the locks extraordinary of your mother.' I was at that time supporting my good maman; her hair was famous in the neighborhood, beautiful auburn hair that nature had twined round her head in a manner which I have received credit for inventing. Well, I re-versed the tongs and curled the hair of this saucebox as she desired it; her friends came to me; soon I opened a new store; in two years Nellie Melba was among my customers. Four years ago the barbers of Paris erected a statue...
