...plump white-bound pamphlet, called a "White Paper," and a plumper blue-bound pamphlet, called a "Blue Book," were issued last week, respectively by the British Government and the French. Momentous, the pamphlets total 114 pages. They release officially, for the first time, that notorious series of secret Anglo-French communications feverishly rumored to constitute an "agreement," a "pact" or even an "entente" between France and Britain, contrary to the interests of the U. S. and Italy (TIME...
Quail are good to eat on toast, their little paws pointing like small handles over their plump stomachs. They should be hunted in the south and will be this year by Gen. John J. Pershing, Vice President Dawes, and perhaps Irvin S. Cobb. President Coolidge at this moment has a special setter in training, for what purpose no one knows, but possibly for quail hunting...

They 'ad 'card vaguely that Missis Mc-Pherson came from 'Ollywood; and, 10,000 strong, they packed and sweated in, to learn about sinnin' from 'er.

What of Wisconsin's young La Follette: is he pro-Smith or just anti-Hoover? Cyrus McCormick, great-named oldtime Chicago Democrat, has not yet spoken. It is known, now, where Col. Lindbergh stands (pro-Hoover) and Bridegroom Tunney (pro-Smith). But where...
...Rosika Schwimmer, 55, is a plump, cultured Hungarian Jewess. She was once Hungarian Minister to Switzerland. Often she has visited and lectured in the U. S. In 1915 she helped organize Henry Ford's peace ship. Several times she has unsuccessfully tried to become a U. S. citizen (TIME, July11, Oct. 24, 1927). She has always denied that she would bear arms for the U. S., adding that she understood that was not required of women. But judges have considered that her oath of allegiance would be vitiated by her unwillingness to carry a defensive musket...
