...like to see and hear a real American red-hot momma, and I wasn't wrong. It was as good as being presented at court." San Franciscans flocked to their M. H. de Young Memorial Museum, gaped in perplexity at a visual interpretation of Tannhauser music executed in ink by Tennistar Helen Wills Moody. Some San Franciscans: "Chicken tracks!" Said Mrs. Moody on how she got started on her in terpretations: "I played a phonograph record. ... I had a pencil in my hand and unconsciously I traced a pattern of the rhythm." Convicts in the educational department of California...
...TIME does not indulge in Tabloid photographs nor Gum-Chewers-Sheetlet reporting. Since the number of April 9 displaying on p. 19 another even bloodier corpse I feel you have definitely joined the brotherhood for which you profess such smug scorn. I realize this is a waste of typewriter ink and time, but hope that my protest will be one of many. Few people enjoy and none needs the sight of photographed corpses. It is revolting, and cheap, and I would like to think that the person responsible for these two pictures among your high-class collection had been...
...Each team won eight bouts. The score: 16-to-16. Epee. It takes the closest scrutiny of four judges and a director to call the touches in a foil contest. There is considerably less room for doubt in an epee match. The weapons are tipped with tell-tale red ink.

They scored three triumphs each and tied the bout in which they faced each other...
...Black Ink for Red. The two big prospective deficits of 1934 and 1935 will boost the public debt to $31,834,000,000 by July 1, 1935. At that date the President would call a halt: "We should plan to have a definitely balanced budget for the third year of recovery [1935-36] and from that time on seek a continuing reduction of the national debt. This excess of expenditures over revenues amounting to over $9,000,000,000 during two fiscal years . . . is a large amount but the immeasurable benefits justify the cost. ... If we maintain the course...
...sense of this by unnaturally hollowed and skull-like faces, by hands which are bony in spite of their muscularity; the quality and effect of this she draws into the bent bodies, the downcast eyes, the melancholy despair and hopeless resignation of her subjects. With compassion she makes ink and paper plead for her sufferers; when he looks at the prints the jaunty, smart, well clad and fed spectator feels the same compassion more sharply than if he saw the original subjects (though not more sharply than he ought); that...
