Canada's outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease is more menacing than ever. The quarantine area that circled only a few Saskatchewan farms at the start (TIME, March 10) has spread out over some 7,000 sq. mi. The latest case was found less than 50 miles from the U.S. border, raising the greatest danger to the U.S. livestock industry since the last U.S. outbreak in 1929.

Theophile Gautier wrote that her "sinuous, serpentine mouth, turned up at the corners, in the violet shadows, mocks you with so much gentleness, grace and superiority, that you feel suddenly intimidated, like a schoolboy before a duchess...
Yost scored the second of his three goals early in the third period from a goal-mouth melee to give the Crimson an edge it never relinquished. Baldwin; another three-goal performer, iced the game at 9:43 of the last frame after Captain Jay Byrne had advanced the ball from his own zone...
