Arthur Byron ("A. B.") Jenks is a ruddy, 6-ft., grey-haired onetime shoe manufacturer and Manchester, N. H. banker who, after retiring from business, devoted himself to his wife's favorite game of golf so assiduously that in 1930 and 1932 he was on a U. S. Senior Golf Association's team that crossed the ocean to play in England. One day last summer, some of Golfer Jenks's cronies at the Manchester Country Club, observing that no one had yet filed for the Republican Congressional primaries in their district, egged on their friend...

Taking their cue from those unsung, expert, wholesale dress manufacturers of Manhattan's 7th Avenue who were asked last winter to guess what women would be wearing this fall, Hollywood designers Omar (né Alexander) Kiam, Irene and Helen Taylor turned out most of the dresses, gowns and coats for Vogues of 1938.

High School to perform and when he wrote it the author of Pulitzer-Prizewinning John Brown's Body was obviously versifying in the lighter mood of his Ballads & Poems (1931). First of its jingling tunes is sung by a chorus of girls at a quilting bee, where Katrina van Tassel sorrowfully...
...saloonkeeper with a record machine does not require the services of even a beery "professor" at a piano, Chicago Musicians' Boss James C. ("Mussolini") Petrillo, in order to manufacture work for musicians, forbade his unionists to make any more recordings (TIME, Jan. 4). And haggard President Joseph N. Weber of the American Federation of Musicians has threatened a national musicians' strike if record and radio people do not do something about unemployed A. F. of M. musicians (TIME, Aug. 9). Last week the strike was still a threat, with the A. F. of M.'s deadline moved...
