Like the maddening rumble of guns that grew louder and louder in the ears of Parisians in 1914, the steady drone of a well-oiled machine has preyed upon the ears of the White House within the last fortnight. That drone was the culmination of the three-year-old groan of the sick farmer. That drone was the work of militant farm organizations, skillful lobbyists, a group of Senators and Representatives from the West and South who have convinced majorities in Congress that the proper medicine for the sick farmer is the McNary-Haugen bill (TIME, Feb. 14).

H. the Duke of Connaught, uncle of the King-Emperor, unveiled the Guards Monument, taking in his hand as he did so the hand of General Higginson.

At the very end, the King smiles resignedly at the debutante princess after failing to kiss Kathie. There...
...bright-haired presence is even simpler to explain. She was "busted" out of Bryn Mawr for "deplorable contumacy of conduct." She was ready to divorce or annul, her clerical father, "the meanest man in the world." "He practises slurping his soup," she said, "so he can do it louder and louder. He dunks his toast in his coffee and his bread in his tea. He wears out two Bibles a year just clutching at them when he thinks of me. . . ." She simply adopted Higbie Chaffinch, went to live with him, proposed that they become bootleggers. And they did become something...
