...date was Feb. 12-Lincoln's Birthday for some 123,000,000 U. S., inhabit ants, ninth anniversary of Achille Ambrogio Damiano Ratti's coronation as Pope Pius XI for 331,500,000 Roman Catholics the world over.* The U. S. through the National Broadcasting and the Columbia Broadcasting Companies assisted the Pope mightily by hooking up some 150 stations in the U.

...Farewell to Arms is the story of their meeting, wooing, mating and her death in childbirth during the Caporetto retreat of 1917. There are numerous incidental characters who inhabit the play as they did the novel; but in the novel they were neat carvings on a walnut shell. In the play they are thinned and twisted into a helter-skelter, rag-rug pattern. Mr. Stallings is not to be censured for what he has done in all force and sincerity.

It is a civilization fighting the throes of corruption : normal human feelings, human values are worthless, no longer existent...

Heaven to Survivalist Lodge is the ether, which he thinks may be the essence of cosmic reality, the real seat of life. To the ether a man's soul "returns" when he dies; there it abides, till it learns from higher beings (who also inhabit the ether) how to go up higher. Survivalist Lodge has made inquiries of some souls about their habitat, their habits. He reports: "Above all, family affection continues strong; the desire to help friends and relatives is perhaps the most prominent feature. [They] are evidently happy, amid gracious surroundings, surrounded by beauty like that...
