...part of the French-inspired Little Entente. But things have changed in a twelvemonth. Spurred on by the menace of Hitlerism and the threat to the Balkan "succession states"* of a possible Habsburg restoration in Austria and Hungary, Boske Jeftitch has trotted up & down the Balkan corridor trying to organ ize a separate Jugoslav-Turkish-Bulgarian entente. The advantages of such an alliance to impoverished Bulgaria were obvious, but there was just one point on which Foreign Minister Jeftitch was insistent. Jugoslavia would join no pact unless the Bulgarian Government could prove its capacity to handle the noisy Macedonian minority...
...Governor of Pennsylvania. Last week he promised, if elected, to "go to Washington and borrow the well-known Roosevelt big stick" and crush "invisible government by lobbies" at Harrisburg.

Wheezy and unreliable were the small irreverently named "God boxes" once pumped by Senator James Couzens, President Richard Whitney of the New York Stock Exchange, Frank D. Waterman (fountain pens) and Will H. Hays, now members of Funnyman Chester Werntz ("Chet") Shafer's Guild of Former Pipe Organ Pumpers. Electricity wrought the change whereby fan-blowers automatically deliver the wind pressure and stop levers are wired to a complicated switchboard...
