...last number, where you say, "The small-town lawyer's wife has been succeeded by the cosmopolite's wife," you seem to depreciate Mrs. Coolidge. When have we ever had a more gracious lady in the White House, or one more universally beloved throughout the land? I, too, admire Mrs. Hoover, but I never did like the cry, ''The King is dead! Long live the King...
After he recalled Henry Lewis Stimson from Manila in March to be his No. 1 Cabinet member, President Hoover searched the land for a suitable Governor General of the Philippines. The job pays well, $18,000 per year. It has served as a stepping stone to higher Federal office (William Howard Taft, Statesman Stimson). There were plenty of applicants...

Why not speak up for a shore reservation from Wood Island through...
...little theatres of the land are dens of morbidity and exoticism. This fact is always made apparent at Manhattan's annual Little Theatre Tournament. The seventh contest, held last week, was cut to the conventional pattern. Twenty amateur organizations competed, each presenting a one-act play. One group from Denver gave a horrific vignette by Eugene O'Neill in which a white couple and a Negro are shown adrift on a raft in tropic seas. Another Denver company chose for its dramatic locale a rainswept bit of Maine seacoast where the incessant downpour drove a bedraggled housewife insane...
