...embellished by an occasional bright idea. So, from the fact that a French filling-station attendant in Quebec had never heard of Socony gasoline, to the no less interesting fact that sufficient okilchao will produce a walking pass-out sans hangover, he notes down everything which makes an imprint on his consciousness in his little brown note-book, later to be transcribed into essays and transmuted into shekels. There's lots of the Morley personality injected, because Morley is a genial, big-hearted, good-living man, and people like to hear about him and what he thinks of apple...

Such success would be repugnant to Publishers Farrar & Rinehart, who by purchasing Cosmopolitan Book Corp. last month jumped into the first rank of their trade (TIME, Oct. 5). Under their imprint appears little bawdry. Nevertheless, upon one of their books last fortnight was visited censorship. Last week the book began to sell rapidly. Entitled Peggy and Peter: What They Did Today ($2.50), it is a picture book for children, representing the activities of a pair of moppets and a Cairn bitch...
