Back we go to the good old days of the world war to discover that one man believed that war was hell and that men were like the rats in Norway which swam to sea and drowned. It is a very interesting, indeed a charming plot. Richard Dix is the virile young humanitarian who hates fighting, but he loves a simple lass who tells him that he is as yellow as yellow chalk. Therefore, he enlists, and we next see him mingling with a group of neurasthenic aviators over there. Once in the war, Rocky Thorne becomes a cruel killer...

Discharged for incompetence, he gets drunk again the next night with better results. An advertising man who finds his conversation witty gives...

It was Anna Eleanor Roosevelt Roosevelt, first lady of the land, opening a Questions & Answers department for Woman's Home Companion. Crowell Publishing Co. will pay her $1,000 per month (estimated) for twelve months. Colyumist Roosevelt assured her readers that Woman's Home Companion Editor Gertrude B. Lane had "given me this page to do with exactly as I will...
