...cricket to do anything like that, but we envision the picture with considerable pride. Baseball has never attained much popularity in Britain. Frontal attacks such as Harvard made successfully on her sister island empire have failed in the realm of George V. It may be that our premier baseballer is taking a page from the tactics of radical labor agitators and is "burrowing from within...

...been done; I imagine that the whole sequence has been rendered a bit too idyllic and too pleasantly pastoral to be an exact study, such as one might find in Prof. Tarbottom's third Ph.D. thesis on "Brow-ridge Variation in the Eskimo, with Concomitant Hypertrophy of the Frontal Sinuses." For all that, the photography is superb, the selection of scenes is accurate, and a coherent picture, a beautiful picture, is presented. A particularly good bit is a whale chase, in which a whalebone whale is successfully harpooned and killed; another perfect shot is the simple, graytoned, opening scene...

With the 1931 debacle just behind them they issue a declaration of faith in Democracy rather than Dictatorship, and look askance at G. D. H. Cole and his companions of the left wing who plumped for a frontal attack and a use of force if thwarted in legislative demands. If Sir Stafford Cripps can be considered typical of present, Labour party opinion, the only slogan to which it will have any right will be "On to Bigger and Better Defeats." Only a political miracle can save the party from...

...body." More within the compass of everyday medical thought was another physiological complex which Dr. Crile described last week. The thyroid, he argued, is a power-house for the body; the sympathetic nervous system carries the power impulses throughout the body; the adrenal glands control the power; and the frontal lobe of the brain, seat of intelligence, is the driver. The tempo of modern life causes the frontal lobe to drive the adrenals at too fast a pace. The adrenals overwork, and cause the thyroid to lose more power than the body can stand.
