...raze some 20 blocks in the business section of Athens and give the right of excavation to the American School of Classical Studies* (backed by 40 U. S. institutions). Twenty to 30 feet beneath the tract lies the Athenian market-place as it was known by Themistocles, Plato, Demosthenes, et al., in whose day it was as the Forum in the grand days of Rome. Temples and statues famed throughout antiquity will come to light "of far greater importance than Pompeii...
...Heckstall-Smith, Secretary of the Anglo-South American Association, last week declared: "The Prince of Wales is the greatest salesman England ever had! . . . No 'drummer' could have stimulated orders as the Prince has done on his visit to South America (TIME, Oct. 26 et ante). . . .

Then there are the villains, well drawn, better acted, and best cast, and the local characters highly indigenous and the comic prize fighter, "Bull" Moran, et altera. Young Jerry Devine, as the hero and heroine idolater and the son of the coquettish proprietress, is, however, one of the chief stars. His juvenile acting is absolutely genuine and has much charm withal. And with these bouquets distributed, one must retire. "Weeds" is not a brilliant or sensational...
...bows and stark official courtesy. This was made necessary by the fact that Emile Vandervelde, the Socialist Belgian Foreign Minister, had announced that he would under no circumstances shake hands with Mussolini, whom he considers personally responsible for the atrocious murder of the Italian Socialist, Matteaotti (TIME, Oct. 19 et. ante), who was the close friend of Minister Vandervelde. It was felt that a scene could be avoided only by invoking an attitude of rigid formalism on the part of all present...
