Arizona's suit, on a par in importance with the Great Lakes diversion controversy (TIME, Nov. 22, 1926, et seq.), did not cause the U. S. to delay its construction plans. Declared President Hoover: "The letting of contracts . . . will proceed as rapidly as possible. The determination of the points of law raised by Arizona will be expedited. ... In the meantime I am in hopes that the States may get together and compose their differences...
...group of colored folk from East St. Louis who go to war, accompanied by comedians, chorus girls and an ingénue under the aegis of the Y. M. C. A. Adelaide Hall, a veteran of Blackbirds, is one of the noncombatants. Her singing and dancing is on a par with the entertainment furnished in a good many Harlem resorts. There are only two tunes, "In Missouria" and "Give Me AMan Like That,"which audiences could leave the theatre whistling.

To see him win the fourth and final event of his tremendous campaign to take all four major championships of the world...
...triple zero achievement' in our day and generation, so far as I know. ... A man of weak sexuality is in luck, from the point of view demanded by high achievement. For he is not distracted from his aim by blonde winks and brunette giggles. . . . No Elks' picnic ever reaches Par nassus. The only man who has ever achieved something through the aid of tea parties is Sir Thomas Lipton." Such high-sounding words as Idealism and Service have little to do with Achieve ment, says Pitkin. "A man by the name of William Randolph Hearst built up the largest...
