...Lowell House bells differ from ordinary carillons in that they do not conform to any modern musical scale. Tuned to unaccepted pitches, they cannot, strictly speaking, be called a carillon. Experts describe them as "a group of bells". When such chimes are rung, the deep bass bell is kept constantly pealing while the ringer manipulates levers and pulls ropes to ring the remaining bells. This is the work of Adrianoff, of Astoria, Long Island, an American citizen living in this country for 20 years, who will take up his abode in Cambridge...
...Drought Relief fight in Congress reached such a pitch last week that a Senator stalked over into the House looking for a fight with a Representative. Down the centre aisle, shoulders hunched, hands deep in pockets (his usual carriage, but now more sour than ever) stalked Senator Thaddeus H. Caraway of hungry Arkansas. At a table sat baggy-faced Representative Louis C. Cramton, lame duck of Michigan, busy with papers. Beside him was big Representative Schafer of Wisconsin. Mr. Schafer poked Mr. Kramdens ribs, tried to call his attention to the Senatorial intruder. Mr. Cramton got busier than ever with...
...disillusioned. ... I now see that the War arose chiefly as the result of deep-rooted economic competition to control the raw materials and markets of the world.

Frank Hoey started ahead and Joie Ray was far back in the pack. His cheeks froze; he tramped through deep snow with his face wrapped in bandages. After the third day's lap he was third, with Hoey still leading. At the finish on the eighth day he trailed, a slow & sorry seventh. Hoey won the $1,250 first prize...
...goes away. The way this tale is told is as old as the material, but it becomes a superb illustration of Garbo's ability. When she is in front of the camera she creates a convincing, unforgettable atmosphere of the exotic with her gestures, her small, sad face, the deep tones of her voice. She brings to life the conventional scenes, so stiffly and even stodgily written. Robert Montgomery and Marjorie Rambeau seem indifferent in their roles, their competence too heavily overshadowed by Garbo's brilliance. Best sequence: Garbo reunited with her lover when he finds her penniless...
