Texas Certificate Sirs: In your issue of TIME, Feb. 22, you said that seven States required a health certificate from the husband before marriage. Texas also requires a certificate from the male before marriage. This is in the form of a doctor's written declaration of the lack of venereal disease in the applicant...
Almost as harmless and twice as ingratiating as his gang of burglars is Dr. Clitterhouse, gracefully impersonated by Sir Cedric Hardwicke. The amazing doctor has undertaken a part-time life of crime not for gain but to examine at first hand the pathology of crime. How his clinical studies lead him into more trouble than he had bargained for makes a felicitous tale as amusing as the nursery underworld it describes...
Sulu, Andrew G. C. Gage's graceful pointer bitch, found only one covey, showing much of the style but little of the nose for birds which won her last year's championship. Homewood Flirtatious, the 1935 winner, did no better. Famed Doctor Blue Willing has won more major field trials than any living bird dog, but the National has always eluded him.

Shanghai started off with a false point, handled one covey with style and finish, then sinned heinously by flushing...

Wherever he went, "people always began talking to him, telling him all their lives if there were time enough, because he had a way of listening gently." He even listened gently to his wife, the angular daughter of a rural dean, who loved to give the little doctor a piece of her mind. She, alas, did not appreciate his passive qualities, thought he ought to get out and hustle...
