Miss Brandeis, plump and fortyish, is the wife of Lawyer Jacob Gilbert, mother of two boys and a girl. Bryn Mawr graduated her in 1915. Last week she appeared before 400 women, including Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, at Manhattan's Pan-Hellenic Hotel and in a soft voice flayed President Hoover for not balancing the Budget, for cutting taxes for "party purposes" at the beginning of the Depression. From her father's famed dissenting opinion in the Oklahoma ice case (TIME, April 4), she quoted...
Central figure and near-hero of Wah'Kon-Tah is the late Laban J. Miles, a plump little Indian Agent who went to live with the Osages in 1878, died among them last year.

Augustine, built by Champion Rotary Motors Co. of Buffalo for which Bert Naseef is test pilot, the engine...
...Your Hands!" Plump and harmless as a tabby. Labor Leader "Uncle" Arthur Henderson tried to keep the Party on its well-worn track of merely Talking Socialism. "Labor must be definitely international in its outlook," he orated vaguely. "The National Government is Toryism without disguise. . . . There is need for an advance toward Socialism. . . ." Taking this bit in their teeth, the delegates galloped, bolted. While Leader Henderson begged and pleaded for "caution" the Congress ignored him, cheered to the echo a "labor intellectual," Sir Charles Philips Trevelyan (onetime President of the Board of Education) who proposed to block the possibility that...
