Nightmares limp round Snow White in the gloomy forest. From the bushes, thorns reach crooked hands to tear her; eyes glare from the shadows and bad whispers ride the wind. Snow White is sobbing helplessly when the glaring eyes draw nearer, become friendly.

Joyously they lead Snow White to a slovenly little hut they know of. When the dwarfs who own the hut return from their...
There were extraordinary doings on the third floor of Washington's Willard Hotel one day last week. A score of photographers squatted in the corridor with lenses trained on the elevator.

...years old in 35 U. S. cities had proved clearly that men are better drivers than women. Their average wheel grip measured 114 lb. against 63 lb. for women. They could withstand 58 units of light, whereas women could withstand only 55.1, and could recover in 5.55 sec. from glare which blinded women for 7.47 sec. Other tests indicated that men generally have quicker reactions, better hearing, better concentration when at the wheel, although women drive more slowly, distinguish colors better, have better vision from the corner of the eye. Quipped Safety Director Burton W. Marsh, who conducted the tests...
