...garden delegates with no thought or power but to vote as instructed by the folks at home or the bosses in the hothouse. Planted among them were some of society's finest flowers?Byrds from Virginia, Maryland's Ritchie, New York's Davis. Like Irish potatoes and more noxious growths were the city delegations?Tammany's full-blown ward heelers, micks from Brooklyn and Boston, hybrids from Chicago under the leadership of Mayor Anton J. Cermak, lusty bumpkins from Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana, and drooping gone-to-seed specimens from the country roadsides of all the States. Beside each delegation...
...dancing took on new, hectic energy. Drably uniformed workmen hopped about automatically, rebelliously, before a stock ticker largely labeled. A gasoline filling station, two bathtubs and a ventilator took part in this materialistic orgy. For the finale a bland, fat-faced Mexican sun descended to blot out the noxious stock ticker, a sun whose face bore a flattering likeness to Painter Rivera's. For this triumphant scene the noisy music was at its noisiest-hard, galvanic, rasping-as if Composer Chavez were trying to make up for having allowed his tropical dancers a comparatively pleasant tango.

Types III and IV are usually present in the mouths of healthy people, become noxious under certain conditions of disability. For some reason doctors and nurses seldom contract pneumonia from their patients. But others may contract the disease in such numbers that an epidemic develops.

S. troops in the World War, has done much research in automobile exhaust gases, in the biochemistry of respiration and the physiology of circulation. Year ago he wrote an article for the Yale Alumni Weekly in dispraise of "industrializing education...
...worst picture and far below the standard which Warner Bros, have announced their intention to maintain by adopting a smaller and more select production schedule (TIME, Sept. 20). Powell, identified with less lush impersonations at Paramount, seems vapid by contrast in this picture although his mannerisms are less noxious than those of Basil Rathbone, who played the role on the stage. Doris Kenyon, who is now no older in appearance than when she was an actress in silent cinemas years ago, helps out. But the real trouble lies in a story untrue to everything except a pattern which went...
