...Senate, the bill was returned to the House in altered form. A conference was necessary to iron out differences. What should the House instruct its three conferees to do? First, a Democratic Dry group sought to bind the conferees to support the Senate's amendment in advance, an irregular parliamentary procedure. An impassioned snarl resulted, broken only when, after 45 minutes of fierce debate, the Republican majority forced adjournment and turned the issue over to the Rules Committee...
...that the squad of anti-power-trust Republicans is eleven: Elaine, Borah, Brookhart, Couzens, Frazier, Johnson, MacMaster, Norbeck, Norris, Nye, Pine. From one of these it was thought that Paul Mallon had secured his scoop. Such a one as the boyish Nye who is regular at election time and irregular in between would be glad to have the country know that he, in contradistinction to the majority, is nobly bottling "the interests."

The people who saw him were glad to talk discreetly to the press-it was invaluable publicity. When Mr. Hoover arrived in Florida, the prevailing opinion as to the rest of the Cabinet...
Behind the German Lines. Diagrams are usually dull, including those which patriots and students kept during the War, marking on maps with little pins the lines of the combatants. It was hard to remember which pins stood for which side or what the irregular graph of a strategy meant in terms of life and death. In this picture, which UFA began to make in 1915, the lines of the diagrams move themselves, like animated cartoons. Neither a newsreel nor a story, it is a history of the War, seen from the German side, but impartially; most of the battle scenes...
