Proud of his handiwork and mindful that the constitution he helped draft in 1915 was submitted and turned down mostly in one big lump, Mr. Smith last week urged his fellow delegates to split up the 1938 edition for submission to the people. Result: at next fall's election, voters will have a chance to accept or reject eight main sections, and a ninth catchall containing all the rest of the convention's handiwork...
...sprucest salesmen. Last week Gaumont British and Alexander Korda, proving that the British cinema industry is not entirely dormant, had two films apiece ready to join the U. S. Easter cinema parade. Of the four, the two less pretentious cost $450,000 each, represented the good homespun handiwork of which the British industry is capable when it is not making quota quickies or trying to imitate Hollywood's grand manner.

...week in Chicago, Prize Fighter Joe Louis lived up to this dubious compliment. In the presence of 45,000 spectators in Comiskey Park his hands knocked out James J. Braddock in the eighth round of their bout for the heavyweight championship of the world. Major results of Louis' handiwork were two: it made him the first colored man to hold the championship since crafty Jack Johnson allowed himself to be knocked out by Jess Willard in 1915, and it started a new regime in pugilistic finance, by which shrewd, bald-headed Michael Jacobs succeeded Madison Square Garden Corp...
