Sirs: Cols, I and 2, p. 9, TIME, May 29, you print an item from the Punjab, extolling Herbert Hoover as the "giant who feeds all people." Since Mr. Hoover's entire public performance rests in the fact that he was Food Distributor during the latter part of the war, this seems an appropriate place to interpolate a few words of comparison between Hoover and other unknown, but highly efficient Food Distributors...

For, much as Hostess Patton may at first have questioned the story of riches and position to which this middle-aged (Mr. Graustein is 43) suitor referred, she found that the unbelievable was true, that the incredible was a fact.

...President Portes Gil the possible soothing of those troubles. Probably the Archbishop and the Ambassador talked. Possibly the Ambassador, as a U. S. Statesman, said things which pleased the Archbishop about the U. S. attitude toward the Church-and-State problem. Further assurance of significant train-talk was the fact that at San Antonio Mr. Morrow stopped over, allowed the Prelate to reach Mexico City twelve hours before...
