Onetime-Subscriber Riebe has been refunded his money. TIME, intending no jocosity, mentioned Genesis only in a phrase accurately describing the Reverend ("Killer") Norris. The phrase: ". . . hot war- whoops of a revivalist-Genesis-trumpeter."-ED. Sirs...
...Slowly the little steamer pushed through hundreds of emerald islets in a turquoise sea beneath azure heavens-on, on to Cuyo Island, veritable Eden in the Sulu Sea. Col. Thompson, pleased, ambled beneath outlandish cocoanut palms, low luscious mangoes. No phones, newspapers, railroads, trolleys or automobiles marred this hot perfection.

Davis, one-time nominee (1924), corporation lawyer...
...sand, heat-hoping that after Super-Tuchun Feng Yu-hsiang was ousted from Peking (TIME, April 5, et seq.) its co-conquerors, Super-Tuchuns Wu Pei-fu and Chang Tso-lin, would set up a stable government. That hope has eluded fulfillment like a mirage and Peking has grown hot, hotter, too hot. Last week the delegates passed a motion to adjourn indefinitely, packed their traps and trinkets, departed...
