...McKeown and Luella Larder, of the army's Greater New York division, command one such corps (church) at 349 Bowery. One night last week, as they had hundreds of other times, they gathered to their fold some 200 men-refugees from the saloons attracted by amplified phonograph music, drawn by hunger, curiosity or loneliness to McKeown and Larder's service...
Snyder and other entomologists, on whose work he has drawn for the new catalogue, have found termite species in every area of the world except the Arctic and Antarctic. The study of termites is something of a challenge, even to such a determined student as Snyder.

Robert Gartside has sacrificed the excitement in his tenor voice for some fine control and smoothness. The former commodity is indispensable, however, in "Every valley shall be exalted," a pretty momentous prediction, after all. Few people expect to be disappointed in Paul Tibbetts; too many had reason to regret his lack of warmth last night...
