Despatches from Rome last week indicated that His Holiness no longer uses his carriage drawn by a team of brave horses. If so, he has changed his daily regime disclosed last Easter. It was then his custom to set out at 4 p. m. daily for a drive-in his carriage week days, in one of his motor cars Sundays (TIME, April 25). The Vatican equerries apparently now function more as garage attendants than as stable attendants...
...this Leonard Wood said in Manhattan last week: "It has been proved that cures are possible at nearly any stage of the disease, and more likely if treatment is started quickly. I do not think $2,000,000 is too large an amount to be raised by this drive when you consider that lepers are the most wretched of human beings." Advocating this was one of his main reasons for his present visit to the U. S. He plans to resume his duties as Governor General of the Philippines in September...
...English country doctor complained thus to the London Daily Express of a brazenness such as every U. S. physician has encountered: "Often while I drive to or from a case I happen to come to the scene of a road accident in which frequently someone is more or less injured.

All he had to do was help drive the tentstakes, feed the animals, chase vermin, and fool or fight the "rube" public in quiet sections of the South. He had much time to develop his "understanding" of the rudimentary humanities and brutalities of hand-to-mouth people and evolve the social viewpoint that was later to shock polished people...
...slowed ships feel their way; the sirens mourn incessantly. Voices are lowered in a fog, which muffles them yet lower as though it shrouded something grave about to happen. Fog, several hours of it, gets on men's nerves. Two thousand miles of groping through fog might drive two men in an airplane-a land airplane over an ocean-close to distraction. So thought radio operators listening last week to the day-and- nightlong flashes of Ernest L. Smith, civilian pilot, and Emory Bronte, navigator, who entered dense fog with their Travelair monoplane, City of Oakland, soon after leaving...
