Dartmouth College, an American institution of higher education at Hanover, New Hampshire, last week held its Twenty-Fourth Annual Winter Carnival. According to custom the festivities were presided over by the Queen of the Carnival. This royal lady was chosen in the following manner: A committee of three deans stands beside the gate to the golf course where the outdoor celebration is held. As a young lady who measures up to the standards of Dartmouth passes through the gate, the deans point at her and shout "There's one," whereupon the fortunate girl is spirited away to the Outing Club...
Unfortunately, Mr. Wilton's revelations do not explain very much about the rather mysterious manner in which the mind of Boston's newest censor works, for he has announced that heading his list of tabooed plays are "The Vinegar Tree," "Sailor beware," "Strange Interlude," and "The Shanghai Gesture."

That a technical prison investigation should be conducted by an auditor is inappropriate enough; but that the newspapers...
...succeeded in striking the gong with uncanny precision. His latest assumption of the role of seer, however, is not likely to add to his reputation as an oracle. "I, Governor of California, and How I Ended Poverty," subtitled "A True Story of the Future," is an account of the manner in which one Upton Sinclair, novelist, captured the California Democratic primaries in August, 1934, was elected Governor in November, and two years later had not only abolished poverty in California but completely undermined the capitalistic system and sent the spectre of Fascism fleeing from the shores of America. The strangest...
