...senior Associate Justice, bald Willis Van Devanter. Though liberal colleagues may disagree violently with his conservative opinions, they listen with profound respect in conference when, out of the experience of his full quarter-century on the Court, he expounds history, procedure, precedents. As elementary to him as the formula for water is to a master chemist, is the judicial principle that ignorance of the law is no excuse...
Having delivered themselves of this formula, Messrs. Eccles & Morgenthau then explained : the Treasury was going to keep additional gold, mined in the U. S. or imported from abroad, from getting into the U. S. banking system, where it swells the already swollen credit base. By New Deal law all imported gold and all newly-mined gold has to be sold to the Government, the Treasury paying for the metal with checks drawn on its accounts in the Federal Reserve Banks.

And it may be that the new drug by which Dr. Tobey cured Franklin Roosevelt Jr.'s septic sore throat...
Plenty of pretty girls in the fewest possible clothes was the formula which made Fort Worth, Tex.'s Frontier Centennial Exposition a bang-up success last summer. As a final fillip, Producer-Manager Billy Rose, the Broadway Barnum, worked up an act called "Beauty & the Beast." In this, shapely Lawrene Nevell, clad in breechcloth, brassiere and flowing cape,' did a dance in a lions' cage, flapping her cape in the faces of five large lions owned by a Dallas veterinarian named Nobel Hamiter (see cut). The lethargy of its bestial stooges made "Beauty & the Beast" less titillating...
