...with Senators and other government officials, and not a Methodist pulpit in the land has made any special protest against that right." Alert Washingtonians thereupon expected that yet another open letter would appear in print, this time from Catholics to Methodists. Next day such a letter did appear, by Patrick J. Ward, director of the National Catholic Welfare Conference at Washington. He, like Dr. Wilson, denied that his own organization was political, declared that the other man's was. Said he: "The Methodist Board of Temperance & Public Morals is in party politics. . . . Its purpose is political. . . . The National Catholic...
...chemical companies and educators, and upon their "health, ability to cooperate, creative ability, intellectual honesty, persistency, faculty of observation, enthusiasm, initiative, reliability, conduct, morality, scholarship." The aim: to produce younger and better chemists. The chair which Chemist Gordon occupies at Johns Hopkins was given by Manhattan Lawyer Francis Patrick Garvan, chairman of the Johns Hopkins Chemical Foundation, onetime (1900-10) Assistant Attorney General of the U.

Lost in the eerie privacy of a London fog, Ann and Patrick recognize that their life...
...opened, last week, at the Helen Hackett Galleries in Manhattan, few were surprised at the nature of the paintings.* Irishmen like Paul Henry see landscapes of mist-laden perfection and paint them so. Irishmen like famed poet-pointer AE (George William Russell) blithely romanticize the already romantic countryside. Patrick Joseph Tuohy's portraits seem both honest and clear, unusual in a day when much portraiture is either smart fawning or sincerity thwarted by theories. Irishmen, in painting as in most of their literature, evoke a racial charm like an opiate which lulls the cry for pro-founder genius...
Unrocked by revolution the northwest corner of Mexico celebrated the Sabbath and St. Patrick's Day with horseracing. The animals raced from mid-morning until after sundown at varying distances for assorted purses and Golden Prince, could he talk, might have told reporters he was the happiest horse in the world. Golden Prince earned $110,000, the largest annual turf stake in the world, by winning the tenth running of the Coffroth Handicap at Tiajuana (Aunt Jane). Mexico. Golden Prince is a sleepy-looking Kentucky chestnut, a five-year-old gelding from the stables of the Sunshot Stock Farm...
