...week a British military court showed it could be equally stern with Jewish terrorists. The court condemned two of the young Jews to hang, sent the third to an insane asylum. Sole hope of clemency remained with Major General Robert Hadden Haining, commander of the British Palestine forces, who must confirm the sentences. If confirmed, the two convicts will be the first Jews to be hanged in Palestine since British occupation...
...each of the 28 houses in which Eton boys live changes its name and its tutor every 16 years (three Eton generations). The curriculum changes more slowly. A hundred years ago every boy studied Greek and Latin, today most still study Latin, about half Greek. But now all boys must take mathematics, science, French and history.

Symptomatic also of the change...
...last week's fight Henry Armstrong received $27,203 of which he must pay 33⅓% to Manager Mead and 10% to the original Harry Armstrong, who is now his trainer and poses as his brother.

And all must wash their hands and faces, put on gowns and hoods of black cloth-all except the master of this pure and dark domain, master of its purified and black-clad servants. He, the most famed member of the Rockefeller Institute, Dr. Alexis Carrel, distinguishes himself from the others with a little...
...notes last month, the agency has lately run into difficulties.* Recently it announced a $51,000,000 loss on 12? cotton loans made in 1934, and with 1,670,000 bales left on its hands it has a further paper loss of $46,250,000. Now Commodity Credit apparently must lend more heavily than ever if it hopes to peg the 1938 price against a 13,000,000-bale crop...
