That great, gentle mathematician War Minister Paul Painlevé asked a favor last week of his good friend Joseph Paul-Boncour, leader of the Right Wing Socialists, outstanding pacifist, fervent champion of the League of Nations before which he represented France in 1924-25. All that M. Painlevé asked of M. Paul-Boncour was that he would introduce and sponsor in the Chamber a bill proposing to spend 7,000,000 francs ($280,000) forthwith on armaments to protect the frontiers of France...
...rumor has it, he spends his time dashing from University Hall, to Soldiers Field, to the H. A.

A good example of his talents is his mot upon the Mexican law forbidding the holding of political meetings in churches. Said he: "This would have been bad for the Anti...
After a hubbub and by a vote of 53 to 42, the convention indorsed the proposed amendment to the Penal Code which would permit physicians to give contraceptive prescriptions to any married woman. Fervent advocates of the amendment hailed birth control as a means of preventing war, checking crime and disease...
