President Hoover tossed tradition to the winds and reaped a loud round of public applause when he named a woman to the delegation. She was Miss Mary Emma ("May") Woolley, 68-year-old president of Mount Holyoke College. The President chose her because "the whole question of disarmament is and has been of profound interest to the women of the United States." Aside from her academic attainments, Miss Woolley seemed to qualify for her high post by membership...
...Infinite by Ralph Waldo Trine, has a freckled nose. Hell Divers (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) is a successful merger of two well known types of cinema entertainment: aeronautical spectacle (like Hell's Angels, Dirigible) and man-to-man comedy (like What Price Glory, The Big Parade). It is also a loud advertisement for the U. S. Navy. One of the shortcomings of Hell Divers is the fact that spectacle and plot are not well integrated. Parts which are pure spectacle are noisy, informative and magnificently photographed. Best shots: a covey of bombing planes wheeling one by one to dive...
Once the House got moving, it clicked off legislation at top speed. Much to the loud dismay of voteless Washingtonians, it approved proposals by Michigan's Mapes for a District of Columbia tax on incomes and increases in the gasoline and estate levies.

The Nobel Prize could have come at no better time. To Europeans the reward seemed well merited. Dr. Butler is reputedly the man who persuaded Andrew Carnegie to establish the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. No U. S. citizen is better known in European chancelleries, none has been so often honored...
...what they should wear on this memorable occasion; costumes varied from full evening dress, frock coats, dinner jackets to sack suits. Just before the Presidential Promise was administered occurred one of those little contretemps so distressing to orderly Nordic minds. The shrill voice of Senora Alcala Zamora rose in loud lament in the lobby: "But I tell you Niceto forgot and went off with my tickets in his pockets!" Generals rushed to the rescue. Breathing hard. Senora Alcala Zamora eventually found a seat in the press gallery...
