...TIME must dignify Mark Edward Ridge as "intrepid," dignify his story by two columns of copy, let it at least spare Science, and list such items under Miscellany. I will bet a TIME subscription for Mark Edward Ridge on Hank Schafer (TIME, March 19, p. 66) to complete successfully and without injury "black-browed young daredevil" Ridge's bungled show...
...Eldora, Iowa, Hank Schafer, 83, slipped on the ice, fractured his hip. Long ago Hank Schafer was buried alive in a coal mine. Later he lost an arm and eye when he was blown into the air by a cannon. After that he was buried alive under two tons of clay. Next he fell 30 ft. off a cliff.

...Communist rally Leon was there, whooping it up for the Party: but it was unemployed Hank Austin, no Communist, who got beaten up, his spine paralyzed under the hoofs of the mounted police. Jason's carelessly flung cigaret set the tenement afire; when Leon clashed in to warn Helen he found her and her Mexican naked as the truth. Mr. Boardman, who had rented a top-floor room that day to watch his cuckolding, became an unidentified corpse. The demented printer in his basement wrote that Rome was burning. Next morning Mother Volga and Mr. Feibelman raced to their...
