...housed next door to the Executive Mansion. Hard-working and closemouthed, they are not seen much outside home, office or State House. Valiantly doing their bit to dispel the impression that Nominee Landon has copied the Roosevelt brain trust, they also keep out of the nation's eye. There have been no more public statements from them since Charlie Taft's comment on the summons to revolt which Al Smith & Co. sent to the Democratic Convention: "It means a lot of money, but damn few votes...
...what Belmont Park is to New York City's four. In 1931, its best season, $18,000,000 was wagered in 30 days. What improvements to make after purses have been raised may be a problem. The track already has the largest grandstand in the U. S., an "eye in the sky" to photograph close finishes at the rate of 165 frames a second, an electric totalizator to flash changing pari-mutuel odds on every race, a public address system, a polo field in the infield...
...body. As developed by Astral scientists and practiced with the aid of seasoned Astral physicians, the simplest method involves merging any spirit with the body of an earthly infant of five to eight weeks. "The act," reports Spirit Brandon, "requires the physician to see, in his mind's eye, the spinal cord of both the child and the soul who is to incarnate.

...comets were visible to the naked eye last week. The fact was of scientific interest but the show was not spectacular. Discovered by a Japanese amateur named Sigura Kaho, one comet was a tiny blob hanging in the northwestern sky for a few minutes after sundown. The other was the comet found two months ago by Leslie C. Peltier, famed amateur of Delphos, Ohio (TIME, June 7). Laymen who hunted out the Peltier object, hoping to see a big, bright feather similar to Halley's comet in 1910, were disappointed. Unless they had binoculars they saw nothing...
...buyers try to wangle as much space as they can, each arguing the merits of his own department. Buyers' criticisms of the previous issue are closely heeded. Head of Ward's catalog enterprise is Vice President Frank Folsom, who disclaims the title of editor. Under his eye work 52 copywriters, some 600 artists and layout men. When, after 11 revisions, the page proofs are completely corrected and back to the printer, the editorial job is done. "Editor" of the Sears book is bespectacled Donald M. Nelson, who likes to keep out of the spotlight as much as does...
