TIME accepts as first-rate humor, not without advertising value, the Boston Herald's jibe by able Cartoonist Francis Wellington Dahl. Taking as his text the recent advertisement for TIME Inc.'s new fortnightly, LETTERS, "a publication . . . written by its readers," Cartoonist Dahl shows an earnest little man writing copy, drawing illustrations, setting type, tending press, delivering LETTERS to a house (presumably his own), finally receiving a notice: "Dear Sir-Your subscription has expired-Please send two dollars."

Never before had civil aeronautics a chance to receive so many millions for subsidy. Not since 1929 had the industry...
...That in 1932 while chairman of Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corp.'s finance committee Mr. Wiggin sold 26,400 shares of B.M.T. just before the dividend was passed and Chase sold 55,000 shares of B.M.T. that had been put up as collateral for a loan to Gerhard M. Dahl, board chairman of B.M.T. Mr. Dahl, not called as a witness, quickly denied having any voluntary part in this bit of base-stealing...
