...letter in TIME, March 26 purporting to be from C. L. Dean of Burlington, Iowa, caused me to inquire about him there to learn the reason for his bias against Christian Science. Careful inquiries at Burlington have failed to find any C. L. Dean.* Apparently, therefore, the writer of the letter in question shrank behind an assumed name or place. His letter, however, indexed him to a certain extent by evincing heated intolerance for Christian Scientists because we choose to depend on spiritual law, power, and practice for prevention or relief from disease. Therefore, I maintain that his intolerance...
Sedulously dodging large functions, sticking closely to the golf course, the Candidate did find time to drop in at the local firehouse. "Hello, boys. What's the chance of a fire?" he said, and told them he was a volunteer fireman himself, at home. He also entered a bakery to pay compliments on a cake. The local press did not overlook these matters...
...outstanding property of the Smith trip was a brown derby hat. That is the Smith insignium.

The Knox company said that Candidate Smith purchased four or five of its hats per annum. All hatters look forward to a boom year, not even counting election bets...
Quite ostentatiously the Kellogg text ignores the recent observation of M. Briand (TIME, April 9) that France will find it difficult if not impossible to sign a treaty which might conflict with her "previous obligations contained in international instruments, such as the Covenant of the League of Nations, the Locarno agreements or treaties guaranteeing neutrality." Mr. Kellogg now rather cleverly asks other powers whether they hold this view. Any reply which tends to indicate that the Powers are already committed to warlike sanctions in certain instances will be a feather in the Kellogg peace...
Although men have, until comparatively recent times, persistently sought to find some mystical significance in numbers their efforts have met with but little success. The attempt to prove that qualities of good and evil are inherent in the number 7 and the number 13 respectively, has been virtually abandoned; human ingenuity has turned rather to a study of numbers in their relation to each other. While the mystic has discovered that numbers in themselves signify nothing, the mathematician has found that numbers in series or in combinations may mean a great deal...
