...Fascist Deputies entered the Reichstag. When it last met they numbered twelve. Flushed with their great election victory (TIME, Sept. 22) they marched in coatless, each swelling out his Fascist "brown shirt," each flaunting the Fascist swastika on his left arm, each in khaki flare-pants, swank black leather boots-all proud that they had flagrantly, successfully broken the Prussian State ordinance forbidding "public appearance in political costume." Saluting the Reichstag and each other, the Browns roared: "Hail, Hitler! Wake up Germany! Down with the Young Plan." Bellowed back the Communist Deputies (who had threatened but failed to come...
Water from the principal springs will be run through miles of glass-lined bronze pipe to a magnificent central drinking hall, located over one spring, The Chief (long since capped and abandoned), where drinkers can sit on leather lounges, listen to an orchestra, sip luxuriantly. Adjoining wings will contain hot and cold baths, mud baths, sun baths. There will be theatres, concert halls, gymnasiums, a hospital.

...majority so large as to assure his re-election in November. Well did each divorcee recall Judge Bartlett's warm friendly chambers on the second floor of the ornate courthouse where her decree had been granted-the pictures of the judge's family and dogs, the worn leather chairs, the old leather couch on which she, as a wife, sat and told her troubles to the judge behind his disordered desk. At that same desk sat Judge Bartlett last week reading stacks of congratulatory telegrams from women he had separated from husbands...
