...headed on the ballot by the Peasant Party symbol, a circle. Last week, on the advice of ingenious Premier Goga, King Carol decreed this circle and all other Rumanian party symbols abolished. He announced that the first party to apply would be given a ballot symbol of one black dot, the next two dots, and so on up to 28 dots (there are 28 Rumanian parties). It was next discovered that the Goga party, having been first to learn of this opportunity, had applied first and had been awarded one black dot just about the size of the Peasant Party...

The days are gone when Santayana could sit in his cloister and ponder upon the mysteries of the universe. Now he is known to every stenographer as the author of "The Last Puritan," soon to sell for $1.69 a copy at Liggett's. Those members of the faculty who find themselves unable to write, and shudder at the thought of President Conant...
