...must either close up tight or go definitely on. The President, still without consulting his Brain Trust, began to draft in the White House a second message to the Conference. Amid his labors he called up Secretary Hull for an extra secret talk. In London, when U . S. Banker-expert James P. Warburg entered the room in which Mr. Hull was telephoning, a meaning jerk of the Secretary of State's head caused him hastily to withdraw. Tension meanwhile was slackening. "I will lunch with the U. S. Delegation tomorrow," said French Finance Minister Bonnet. "We must not destroy...
Across the first fairway at St. Andrews runs Swilken Burn, the brook which has cooled the heels and heated the tempers of more expert golfers than any other in the world. Into Swilken Burn last week Craig Wood played his second shot of the playoff, a shot which, more than any other, helped decide the championship.

The main liabilities of Melody Cruise are the performers technically called "juveniles"-Phil Harris, who sings well but looks like Harry Richman with curvature of the nose, and Helen Mack. There are two pleasing songs...
...call a "sport" there is only one way that Baron Lambeau's Cattleya Gigas Alba can be propagated. Seeds are useless; its seed if sown would revert to the colors of its comparatively worthless parents. But every year or so, depending on the Alba's strength, an expert with a sharp knife can cut off three or four of the pseudo-bulbs that form round its base, make a new plant from them. Baron Lambeau performed this operation several times, keeps his plants in his private hothouses. Not long ago a Mr. F. E. Dixon of Elkins Park...
