Seemingly this two-to-one swift kick at the vanishing posterior of ex-Premier Lerroux convinced President Alcala Zamora that the Cortes was incorrigibly radical, must be dissolved to give the Spanish people a chance to elect new Deputies. For months Conservatives have been urging this course, predicting a Conservative landslide. To hold the election the President needed a "strong" Premier. He spent the week trying to find one, called in successively a wealthy young jurist, Felipe Sanchez Roman; crafty former Finance Minister Jose Manuel Pedregal; Dr. Gregorio Maranon, onetime physician to Alfonso XIII and a great advocate of birth...
...chief activity is treating arthritis and rheumatism. In Edinburgh he learned that walking too soon after illness frequently caused fallen arches and other foot troubles.

"Get up at six-thirty? Why, there's no such hour!" Oldtime note: false posterior worn by an actress who doubles in two roles...
...California School of Fine Arts was the latest wall work of Mexico's Diego Rivera, famed, fat and 40. As you look at the tropicolored mural, 45 ft. by 35 ft., your eye is immediately drawn to a focal point - Muralist Diego Rivera's plump posterior squashed comfortably down on a plank. The whole picture epitomizes some of the arts and industries of the U.S. Upon a great scaffolding several artisans are at work besides Diego Rivera, who is painting a huge central figure, symbolical of them all. Rivera holds in one hand a tin plate...
