...long-time reader of TIME and admirer of its accuracy, I was amazed to read (Nov. 17) that isolationist propagandists Eggleston, Feagin and Stewart "found . . . congenial company in . . . the $1,000,000 Indian temple transported by the Maytags from the Chicago World's Fair of 1893 to Lake Geneva." This statement is completely false...

TIME drew a wrong inference from the fact that Isolationists Eggleston, Feagin and Stewart (of Scribner's Commentator and The Herald] were entertained at a, big picnic on the Maytag estate.

This year it looked as if a setter might come through again. Louis M. Bobbitt, a chain drugstore man from Winston-Salem, N. C., one of the first amateur handlers in years to go up against the professionals in this stake...
...could see she was the fresher dog at the finish. For half a heat in another brace the pointer bitch called Brighthurst Mary Proctor ran so brilliantly that she looked like a champion, but suddenly she folded up and it was Mary Blu against Feagin's Mohawk Pal- the pointer-setter final everyone had wanted...
