...principle of "balance-in-motion" is relatively simple. By means of electrobasographs Dr. Schwartz determined that in natural walking the big toe propels the body forward, the heel and outer margin of the middle feet merely bear weight. The heel strikes the ground first, stays there 0.4 sec. Then, 0.15 sec. after the beginning of the heel's impact, the middle foot begins a 0.4-sec. roll upon the ground. Just as the heel lifts clear, the big toe comes down for a 0.2-sec. contact. The instant the toe of one foot is ready to leave the ground...
...point that one girl in a hundred thousand who go to Hollywood to be stars becomes one. It then examines the career of the exception-Esther Victoria Blodgett (Janet Gaynor) who, the day she arrives on the Coast, financed by her grandmother's nest egg, tiptoes into the outer lobby of Grauman's Chinese Theatre and stands tremulously in the cement footprints of her favorite actor, Norman Maine.

Eastern Hopei Province, almost adjoining Peiping, is equally but less formally under Japanese control, has as its executive a toothy Chinese puppet named Yin Ju-keng (TIME, May 11 et ante). Puppet Yin avoids interviewers, has a hearty dislike of being photographed with his chunky Japanese military advisers, but last week a snowstorm kept him overnight in the port of Tientsin and Correspondent A. T. Steele of the New York Times, visiting...
...songs. These were written by Cammann Newberry, '37, Benjamin Welles, '38, and Gaspar Bacon, Jr., '37, and very well written, too. The title piece, "Wake Up and Swing", and "There's No Wolf Around My Door", might fairly safely have modest success predicted for them in the great outer world. Welles and Bacon have established themselves as most versatile artists indeed. Each had a share in writing the clever book. Bacon did some of the lyrics, and played a prominent role, the broad-if none too deeply-minded Lady Lavinia Doodle. Welles, to occupy his idle moments, played two minor...
