...Marshal Petain's experience much happier once he was received. Taking a leaf from the book of Adolf Hitler, Dictator Franco began making more demands. He wanted France immediately to turn over to Spain 410 interned armed trawlers and merchant ships of the now defunct Spanish Republic. He demanded $13,000,000 worth of war material that had been shipped from Soviet Russia and was held up in transit in France. He asked for about 100 airplanes and motors, still in crates, that were also in France. Not less interesting to the Generalissimo was $39,000,000 in gold...
Even the plushiest art critics agree: that since the time of Winslow Homer and Frederic Remington, U. S. magazines have easily led the world in the quality of their illustrations; that the financial success of illustrators has drawn much talent which in another country might have gone into non-commercial art; that all illustrators, even the most original, are inveterate swipers from every source; that magazine illustration in the U.

Under present conditions this usually means either 1) a two-story box with six rooms or a one-story bungalow with five; 2) a lot not over 40 ft. wide; 3) quantity building on more or less identical plan. The challenge to architects: to face this fundamental problem in design, which now in many cases goes by default to builders without benefit of architect, with frequently characterless results...
...underground chambers, with multitudes of sacrificed servants. The skull and face forms of these old Near Easterners are almost identical with those of living Englishmen. Ancient Egyptian skulls resemble those in 17th-Century London plague pits, in New Stone Age box graves of Switzerland. Science has had much to puzzle over in these resemblances, and many others in the intricately shuffled complex of races, sub-races, types and varieties in Europe's white population...
