...government licensing and union censorship which it saw implied in NRA's insistence on elimination of these sections. At the Inland Daily Press Association convention in Chicago last week Publisher McCormick and Secretary Edward H. Harris of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association each pointed a fore boding finger at Germany's Press and at the cringing of U. S. Radio under the licensing lash of the Federal Radio Commission. Editor Philip Sidney Hanna of the Chicago Journal of Commerce shocked many a listener by the vehemence with which he cracked down on the New Deal...
...bullets fly through the windows. Calmly he ships Joan to Miami so that he may dispose of his enemies without endangering her life. An exclusive hotel harbors Joan until she meets an insipid crooner who confesses he is a coward. If a splinter pierces the delicate epithelium on his finger, or if the sun darkens his pure white skin, he has conniptions. Emasculated as he appears on the surface, he faces death with remarkable nonchalance; he is there in the pinch. Maybe this characterization conveys something mystical and beautiful to you.

S. press had picked her up as a prodigy. Annie and Helen went north, lived for some years on "the capricious bounty of the wealthy." Then a fund was established; they settled down to get Helen through Radcliffe College. After...
...plumb Night Vision's mysteries. His searching hand paused before the shelf and drew down "The Science of General Psychology," by Wheeler, a good and solid book, of some six-hundred pages, fitted with two indices, charmingly adapted to the pose of earnest endeavor. But somehow, as his finger ran down the index, it wavered, passed "Vision, 379-398," and paused only be fore "Vitreous Humor, 382." Vitreous Humor turned out not at all funny, but Helen herself was never more seductive than the index to Wheeler's "Science of Psychology." The subtle poison permeated the Vagabond's veins...
