...Horace Greeley Hjalmar Schacht, Reich Minister of Economics, has long been doing sleight of hand with Germany's foreign trade. With gold in the Reichsbank dwindling toward zero, Germany, since the rise of raw-material prices in 1935, has had to export finished goods at uneconomical prices in order to get currency to buy abroad such raw materials-copper, tin, oil-as she cannot manufacture synthetically...
...former commander of Il Duce's Fascist Militia, eager to avenge the Italian rout at Guadalajara (TIME, March 22 et seq.), the ignominious chasing by Basque fishwives during the Bilbao siege (TIME, June 28).

("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...

Massy who wrote from Folkestone in Kent that he was "credibly informed that the reason some ladies stain their finger nails is in order to conceal traces of black blood, otherwise discernible there. Perhaps the knowledge of this may induce ladies not having black blood to refrain from the unsightly and unpleasing habit.
