...TIME, Aug. 11, p. 21, is shown a mechanical hen et al. The hen is about to deliver an egg to the young lady. The egg is being delivered small end first. I have seen many hens deliver eggs, always big end first. How come...
Before Judge Adolph Joseph Sabath in Chicago last week stood Mrs. Charles Bamberger and Mrs. William Watkins, participants in a prolonged public dispute as to the identity of their respective babies after an apparent mix-up at a Chicago maternity hospital (TIME, July 28,et seq.).

Official Finland, puny before the armed might of Soviet Russia, regards the Soviet agents with a sort of affable apathy...
