Republican Leader Snell declared that $350,000 "is a fairly liberal amount to celebrate something [the Constitution] that is diminishing at the present time." More serious criticism fell upon Sol's Story of the Constitution for which he wanted the money to distribute. Republican Clare Hoffman of Allegan, Mich, demanded: "Does the 10? which is paid for these books cover the cost?" "Yes & no," said Mr. Bloom. "Well, yes or no?" "I cannot answer in that way.

Nevertheless, 1,500 people stayed for a concert of Mendelssohn, Saint-Saëns, Leoncavallo, Lehar. Because donors had provided about $35,000, Manager Murray Gordon Paterson was able to promise a full six-week season, running every night but Monday. Hungarian Victor Kolar, associated with the Detroit Symphony since 1919, was newly back from Europe and planned to conduct the whole series. At a later concert...
...came back from an anti-War tour with a young Irish poet in tow, they all went to Seattle, where Bertha's mother entered the University of Washington. There Bertha, now 16 and 160 lb., "like a truck horse," had her first lover. She took to the road, fell in love with an anarchist in San Francisco, followed him to New Orleans. By the time she had made her first swing around the country she knew all the ropes. In Chicago, which she calls the woman hobo centre, she worked a while for a celebrated abortionist; later traveled...
