...Nazis); he can count on the Christian Socialist (government) party; he needs the Heimwehr too, now holding the balance of power. His wearing of the Jager uniform was romantic bait for the patriotic Heimwehr. More bait was dangled in the rumor that the Austrian Army will soon shuck its dull German field-grey, re-emerge in the gallant blue of the old K.u.K (Kaiserliche und Königliche) Armee, long vanished from the modern world except in Hollywood cinemas. Such a uniform, besides snubbing Germany, would remind Hungarians that they had once marched beside Austrians in that uniform, would suggest...
...Hall of Science the visitor will get his first taste of the Fair's keynote- Action. Here the sciences will be demonstrated not by dull charts and lectures, but by experiments actually performed. The layman will see how chemistry transmutes coal, wood, oil, rubber, minerals into paints, dyes, soaps, explosives, paper, food. He will see laid bare the basic mysteries not only of his radio, telephone, refrigerator, automobile but even his own body, in models with beating heart, breathing lungs, circulating blood.

Mrs. Moley and the twins have been in Santa Barbara since September, will probably remain there until au- tumn. Dr. Moley likes to exhibit to callers his sons' watercolors and drawings from California. Their photograph, in identical bathing suits, hangs high on his office wall. Each morning...
...nephew of famed "White Russian" General Peter Nicholaievich Wrangel. Dapper, bubbling "Cholly Knickerbocker" owns the copyright to his nom de plume, a valuable asset. His breezy column is famed for "plugging" favorites. Philadelphia society, according to Joseph Hergesheimer who likes parties and lives near there, is as dull as what the society editors write about it. Oldest and most reliable society editor is Olga Gel- hause of the Bulletin. No socialite, she rarely goes to parties, rarely even has to telephone. Submitted material from the Best Families floods her desk. The presence of Judith Jennings, daughter of a prominent Germantown...
