...Smith Wildman Brookhart was chosen to succeed him as Republican Senatorial candidate this year. A faint flicker of the joys of old age must have come to Senator Cummins when he read the news of his defeat, eyes were strained from studying long documents, his face was lined, his hair was white; he was 76-but now he would retire to the quiet home of his two spinster sisters, sleep long and sound, muse over his glorious days, write his autobiography. One evening last week he dined with a Des Moines banker, told him with unaccustomed zeal of the vivid...
...Guinea. The Association voted to hold its 1927 meeting in Constantine, Algeria. Dr. Serge Voronoff, famed gland man, reported the latest progress of his gland-grafting experiments upon 3,000 Algerian sheep (TIME, Aug. 11, 1924). An extra sex gland grafted in young rams so increased their weight and hair-growing processes that they averaged 19 Ibs. heavier than two-gland rams; yielded half a pound more wool per clipping. The mutton increase, if "glanding" were continued, would be about...
...Wills let Helen enter the girls' tournament-"just to see how far she would get." She won this tournament, the Bay Counties. Next year she won the state championship. When she was 16 she went east and won the girl's national. She still had her hair down, two thick brown ropes that gently flogged her shoulders as she moved after the ball.

The sports writers boosted her and she acquired...
...passion for beautiful happenings has been lapped by the irony of surfeit. Either that, or things in Poictesme†are working out to natural conclusions and Mr. Cabell, as a determined realist, reports them with a deciduous emphasis so that no misapprehension may remain. Queen Freydis has faded. The hair of Melicent, once a golden net where dreams were tangled, will grow straggly and fall out. The Domnei idea (worship of women) has proved wholly untenable, and no one ever discovers a posset or cantrap to confound Koschei, the god of things as they...
...even particularly strong, but long hours spent in the practice of his profession have given this virtue: he is hard to hurt. He absorbs, without feeling them, blows that would decimate an ordinary citizen. He was not afraid of little Samuel Mandell, a street-shiek of 22 with oiled hair and a nice smile, who confronted him in a rainy ball park in Chicago last week. Mandell kept popping left jabs into his face; even a very ordinary citizen could have hit harder than that, and Kansas smiled his rocky smile. Yet, after he had endured ten rounds of slapping...
