...with, or is interested in. . . ." Health: "If there is one thing that Taurus likes better than a big juicy steak it is the money with which to buy another one. . . ." Vocation: "Taurus is the sign governing the throat and vocal organs. ... It gives a deep, low voice, with soft, mellow tones. . . ." For a scientist's findings on astrology, see TIME, May 16.

...bravely into fields already braved by Harvard, is running into difficulties similar to those still plaguing University Hall. A reliable report from New Haven announces a proposal to group all Eli Freshmen on the Old Campus next year. This move would oust about 350 upperclassmen, chiefly Sophomores, from their mellow quarters and replace them with some 500 Yearlings. This is a natural step in the development of the Yale College plan, patterned after the Harvard Houses. And it raises the same question there which has been raised more than once here--namely, what is to become of several hundred upperclassmen...
...Taylor, who has judged shows from Montreal to San Diego, had 200 birds to listen to. Until Judge Taylor was ready to hear them, the birds were kept in a darkened bedroom of Portland's Heathman Hotel, occasionally fed oily black rape seed that their voices might be mellow.

Noted Violinist Efrem Zimbalist played on his famed Lamoureux (Strads, like Pullman cars, all have individual names). Listeners marveled at the mellow, homogeneous tone quality of the eight glistening, red-gold instruments played by the Musical Art Quartet and the Stradivarius .Quartet of New York, the small string orchestra over which senatorial Walter Damrosch waved a deliberate baton. The occasion for this Stradivarius display was the 200th anniversary of the death...
...Lunts studied the play, which they were quick to see contained one of their favorite situations, for several months before trying it out last June in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Later they took it to Baltimore, Washington and Cleveland, to whose critics the play seemed "mellow . . . exhilarating . . . sparkling . . . sagacious." To provincial Lunt-Fontanne fans, Amphitryon 38 was pretty much what the doctor ordered. Broadway was not surprised when Amphitryon 38 rode into Manhattan to find first-nighters willing to pay as high as $100 for a pair of seats...
