...able to learn he has made a perfect record. He has upheld the dignity of the judicial branch of the country in the most hectic year in American politics. He has not blurted. Sagaciously he has made no appearance to the public outside the administering of oath of office to President Roosevelt, which was his duty. And finally he has in my opinion cooperated with the present administration by weighing the element of time against its perpetual offspring -change. C. H. McWlLLIAMS Wilmington. Ohio Sirs...
...only known about from hearsay before-that the best professional football, given less to grandstand theatricals and more to the theatricals of machine-precision team play, can be more exciting, more sincerely spectacular than the best of college games. Thirty-five forward passes were thrown, 20 completed.

Mr. Murry has given us a strange, and a touching, meta-physical exegesis of these passages. Mrs. Carswell took the more obvious line of branding Murry as a traitor to Lawrence; Murry has shown that she left very little of literary ethic intact after "The Savage Pilgrimage". As a document for the understanding of the controversy. Mr. Murry's book is valuable, as a key to Mr. Murry's psychology it takes rank with his life of Christ and his "metabiological treatise...
