...behind-scenes political review by Robert S. Allen, one of the authors of The Washington Merry-Go-Round; a dispassionate report of Harlan, Ky. mine disorders by Eve Garrette Grady; a sketch of California's Governor James ("Sunny Jim") Rolph; bits of verse; an estimate of the late Ivar Kreuger; a revelation that cowboys on dude ranches sometimes make love to attractive feminine guests; a review of the wrestling racket...

A. scientists who attended the convention (3,000 were expected) stuffed the sterilization leaflets in their pockets, hastened to see the stadium which the late, scandalous Ivar Kreuger helped build when he was a young engineer.
