This news did not rattle Chicago's Virginia Van Wie, 22, who first took up golf to cure a weak back. She has an impeccable style but her specialty of pitching dead to the flag had not been working on Wentworth's sloping greens.

Entirely typical is Ohio State's sprinter Donald Bennett, 22, a red-headed sophomore who took up running in grammar school to cure lung trouble. Policemen saw him running in a Toledo park and chipped in to buy him his first track shoes. He is a "straight" runner (carries himself erect).

Recovered, Ko-sen is now a temple-boy, belonging to the pot-bellied gilt gods. Though given to the gods, he feels no dedication in himself, contrives after a time to run away with Fah-li, another temple boy. In the first town they come to they hear a revolutionary orator recruiting volunteers. Ko-sen is much impressed by the new ideas of liberation from traditional...

It is a perfectly easy thing to say we must restore the purchasing power of the farmer. Fine! Of course we must. But how are we going to do it? . . . Exception to this [program of public works] was recently taken by a prominent Democrat on the theory that it is a stopgap. Who ever said it was anything else? It is at least better than nothing and infinitely better...
