...States which have created satisfactory insurance systems,* employers will contribute to a State fund, get a credit up to 90% of their Federal tax. From the balance which the Government collects, funds will be returned to the State for administering their systems. Though complying with it in this fashion, New York's legislators carefully made their law independent of the Federal Act, which was not, therefore, at issue in the Supreme Court last week. But since principles were virtually the same, most observers believed that a Supreme Court decision against the New York law would foreshadow the doom...
...much the same fashion as a sweepstakes victor gets his good news, in Seattle, Wash. last week Eugene Gladstone O'Neill was awakened in his rented house over-looking Puget Sound to be told by his wife (Actress Carlotta Monterey) that he had just won $39,314. Professor Sophus Keith Wintrier of the University of Washington had telephoned her that the Associated Press had telephoned him that the Nobel Foundation had awarded Playwright O'Neill its 1936 literature prize and the newspaper boys were on their way out.

Since the War, while the utility of the show horse has declined to the vanishing point, the glittering popularity of the Horse Show has enormously increased. New events, active and frivolous, replacing stodgy regiments of carriage horses, have made the whole affair...
Swinnerton: An Autobiography describes in an uninspired and methodical fashion the career of an engraver's hard working son who became a publisher's reader, a best-selling novelist, a tireless commentator on English literary figures. Filling the first and best part of his book with accounts of his family's poverty after his father's death, of his first newspaper job at the age of 14, of his goading ambition, Swinnerton gives over most of the remainder to polite, discreet, tedious descriptions of his writing friends and acquaintances. Not in direct, slapdash conflict...
