...great man was explaining the custom of "plucking," but the Vagabond heard not. Somewhere in the vague hinterland beyond the anti-macasser and the cupped ear was a rocking chair. The distance, he remembers, was not great, nor for that matter was the "Half a league Onward," up on the thin green brink of his saucer, however, there teetered an incoherent mass which adicts style cake. It is all very hazy; there were a thousand eyes, and two red ears, a sharp grunt from the possessor of an abused bunion, and then the muffled howl of some lonely offstage Phantom...

...neat distinction you drew between the ''legal" and "practical" aspects of the War Debts (TIME. July 18). But as self-interested Americans, don't you think you do yourselves a disservice to so emphasize the legalistic view, the view to which blind yahoos from our hinterland cling, unmindful of what is sighted by our international financial lookouts from the topless towers of New York? The men who know most about money tell us that until the War Debts are out of the way, international trade must plod and stumble. They tell us that the private loans...
