TIME neglected any mention of the splendid entertainment at Anacacho Ranch, the beautiful estate of Ralph W. Morrison 50 miles from the Mexican border. It was here that Will Rogers put on a real rope-twirling show:, taking a glass out of Amon Carter's hand and throwing Airman Vidal and Treasury-man Roberts, two former football stars. Here also Jim Farley rode a horse for the first time, he said, in his life, getting on with some difficulty while a secretary held his watch.

In its issue of October 2 under the head of Education, it is unfair to Duke. These three statements are made in the article. "Eight-year-old Duke University near Durham, N. C., announced the beginning of its 98th year.". . . "Harvard University entered its 298th year." . . . "Princeton University opened its 187th year." The three universities all date back to their humble and modest beginnings. Duke began 98 years ago as York Academy, then Trinity College...
