...fact of seasoning to which M. de Jouvenal and the French Premier objected. They objected not to flavoring matter but to the particular flavor which they are reduced to sipping...
...Drys thunder against the "deep damnation of this taking off". Federal enforcement, increased and strengthened, will continue in New York State and the status quo will be little deranged. Certainly Governor Smith is a close enough student of Constitutional law not to endorse an act which would have a flavor of secession, as some zealous prohibitionists have claimed of this repeal.

A bathing revel occurs at Miami in which all the guests have taken the wise precaution of substituting swimming gear for the more usual undies. The subtitles suit the picture-they are, most of them, of the "When came the dawnlight" school...
