Primogeniture and hereditary public office have no place in U. S. tradition. This fact, however, did not last week deter the voters of the 7th Minnesota District from electing by a two-to-one majority Paul John Kvale (pronounced "Ka-volley") of Benson to the Congressional seat for six years occupied by his father, the Rev. Ole John Kvale, whose charred body was last month found in his burned summer cottage (TIME, Sept. 23). Like his father whom he, the eldest of six sons, served as secretary in Washington, Son Kvale was chosen as a Farmer-Laborite and will...
...three Regents. White-lipped and hard-eyed, Prime Minister Juliu Maniu sought Prince Nicholas, found him closeted with the other Regents, Justice Saratzeanu and Patriarch Miron Cristea. "If Your Royal Highness does not see fit to repudiate this interview," the Prime Minister was reported to have said, "I must place my resignation in the Regency's hands." Prince Nicholas is an amiable, weak-chinned youth, a reputed follower of the religious doctrines of Frank N. D. Buchman, famed for objectionable proselyting of U.

As the operation of the Langley makes money, he will (and he has the money in provision to do so) construct eight similar seadromes to be strung 375 miles apart between...
...with comparatively little success. She rallied a little in the second inning but a terrific relapse in the third defied the most heroic measures and reduced her pulse, respiration and temperature until they were perceptible to only the most prejudiced observers. The heartless conduct of nine conspirators from a place called Philadelphia hastened her untimely end. The remains will lie in state today at the park, weather permitting, and the funeral will probably be later. She leaves two sisters, Faith and Charity, neither of whom was present yesterday. Philadelphia papers please copy. Last week the New York Herald Tribune published...
...called upon to defend any man against a lawyer. Lawyers, you know, are supposed to spend all their time settling the troubles of other people. I spend most of my time trying to settle with my lawyers. Now if Dr. Barbour really did say that a college is a place for study, what is the harm? If he wants to do something new along educational lines, let him do it. There never lived a finer, manlier man than Dr. Barbour. . . . Despite obstacles, where others fall by the wayside, he goes steadily forward-and with a smile though his back...
