...grieved deeply over the transition from old to new diplomacy, is doubtless experiencing a revival of faith as a result of the Anglo-French conversations now being held in London. For there is little difference between the methods being employed to bring France and England closer together, and the frequent visits paid by M. Jules Cambon to the British Foreign Office in the years immediately preceding the World War. To be sure, present-day publicity precludes the possibility of the once popular secret alliances, but this factor is merely a sign of the times. Even President Wilson could not claim...
...them had been set up. The reason for what happened next has never been satisfactorily explained. An official version is that the managers, who had counted at first on average-size families, suddenly decided to give preference to oversize ones.

Scattered over the globe are some 200 seismological stations which, if the poorest were equipped as well as the best, would record about 8,000 quakes every year-nearly one an hour. Of these some 70 are major quakes. Catastrophic shocks involving heavy loss of life average a little over one a year. Despite the safety of the U. S. east of the Rockies, this country had 62 quakes of moderate intensity in 1933. Safest place in the U. S. is New York City whose ancient...
However much he is criticized Stravinsky continues to go his own strange and independent way. He makes no excuse for his frequent concert appearances. He has a family to support in France: a wife who is his cousin, an 80-year-old mother, four children-Feodor and Milena who paint, Sviatoslav, a pianist, Milka, who is not yet grown. At the mention of his children last week Stravinsky declared: "God be with them, there shall be no more...
