...every one knows, the Vice President of the United States must be 35 years old and Hero Lindbergh is only 26. Not without concern lest the Governor's Hooverism might upset the plans of more professional politicians, the Springfield Republican croaked: "Governor Fuller may try again. The list of potential candidates is not exhausted with his Lindbergh flop. He might fill the breach himself. With Lindbergh out, who but Fuller could insure victory...

Of the Great Powers only France is really anxious to force a show down with Hungary in the interest of her small national allies, Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia and Rumania.

From that overt act of recall sprang the negotiations so happily concluded last week...

Finally, lest the powers of darkness should triumph, a deputation of rival Christian Socialists waited upon their great but dour leader, Monsignor Ignaz Seipel, Chancellor of Austria, and besought him to "prevent the nude, brazen-faced and heathen dances of Fraeulein Josephine Baker from taking place anywhere in Austria." Chancellor Seipel, perhaps reliably informed that Miss Baker always wears some article of adornment when she dances, sternly cut short a Deputy...
