Happy though Republicans were, they did not forget that next year holds their fate. The best they could hope for was that the moratorium would do some visible good and do it quickly. With the Depression definitely on the mend by July 1, 1932, the party could point with overt pride to the Hoover Holiday. But the Depression, despite the moratorium, might continue all year long, leaving the voters in 1932 in a disappointed, vindictive frame of mind. In that case G. O. Politicians knew that Democratic charges of "Hoover bungling" would be louder than ever...
...Florence M. Hale, director of rural education in Maine, who succeeded President Willis Anderson Sutton, superintendent of schools in Atlanta, Ga. One of N. E.

Last week the King rode in Rotten Row for the first time since his illness, rode almost unrecognized by smart Rotten Rowers. Only six hats came off to His Majesty, much to his amusement, his relief. In the old days he had to ride down Rotten Row with his hat-arm working like a semaphore...
...teammate Pete Chlentzos to take his picture when he set a new record. Chlentzos stood behind him now, patting the lower part of his back, repeating for the nth time the instructions about run, takeoff and rhythmical upswing which Coach Cromwell had discovered it was Graber's tendency to forget. Then Graber began to trot forward, slowly, easily: suddenly his body swung up, over the knot of people, poised above them for a second at a wildly reclining angle in midair. Then he straightened, shot clear, dropped into a limp heap on the sawdust pile. The crossbar, placed...
