...most of the past week a sirocco (hot, dry, enervating east wind) swept the battlefront where French and Riffians fight for supremacy in the Moroccan War (TIME, May 11, et seq.). Fighting slackened and what was done ended in success for the Riffians, proving that the French successes of the previous week had in no sense discouraged or reduced the resistance of their enemies. A number of tribal desertions to the Riffians was also reported. Marshal Petain, his face bronzed by the African sun, landed at Ceuta, en route to Paris from the front (TIME, Aug. 3) conversed long...
...striking event of the week at Swampscott was a session which the President had with the news correspondents. The import of the meeting was variously garbled, camouflaged or ignored in press dispatches. The plain fact was that Mr. Coolidge raked the correspondents over the coals. He said that their "hot weather reporting" was pretty poor stuff. He suggested that some of them might well give their daily reports a serial title: "Faking with the President."

...have a new Capitol -a summer-resort Capitol high up in the mountains, on the edge of a lake with good fishing, canoeing, hot and cold water, bellboy service. To design it, 85 youths were commissioned. They made preliminary sketches. Of these, five were chosen. They made complete plans. Last week the five waited on a fire-escape in Manhattan while inside a group of judges, headed by patrician Whitney Warren, famed architect, sat to find out which was the best. One Percival Goodman, 21, was presently informed that he had designed the pleasantest home for tire filibusterers, won thereby...
