...hands last week resemble those granted by the U. S. Congress to Franklin Roosevelt, some of which the President has of course not used. Tight-lipped Tsar Schmitt gave no sign of how he may use his powers, but Adolf Hitler was seen to have created a nearly perfect engine of economic despotism. Thus far in economics he has been largely windbag. From now on German Big Industry-the Thyssens, Krupps, Siemenses and their ilk-are in a position to receive from Adolf Hitler vastly more than they ever dreamed of getting when they backed his Nazi Party with their...
...double file with every one in step the 20 pouch-necked, rufous, black & white-streaked grouse strutted forward, keeping perfect time. As one they hopped as neatly back. Forward again, and with heads bobbing the two front couples swung to left and right, wheeled fanwise, fell in at the rear. Four times the figure was repeated, until the rear couples were once more in their places. Now odd couples did a left face, even couples a right face, and the two lines moved apart.

A., to the American Tract Society, the American Bible Society, the China Inland Mission and any other missionary cause, but the General Assembly decrees we have no right to give our money, if we choose, to the Independent Board...
...never one to predict whether I'll win nor can I forecast a record. I hear the track is fast and I'm glad of that." So said Glenn Cunningham, University of Kansas senior, as he arrived in Manhattan last week for Princeton's "perfect race." That race was to include three of the greatest milers of the day-Pennsylvania's Gene Venzke, Princeton's Bill Bonthron and Cunningham. The Kansan followed his custom of not bothering to practice. His legs, burned so badly when he was a child that doctors doubted if he would...
