...rigorously, and perhaps conspicuously, omitted. The effect of these two rules naturally will be to exalt the Leader even more; and in consequence it may heighten the belief of the populace that when he passes, there will be none to replace him and things will go rapidly to pot. While that idea if accepted would be convenient for Mussolini, no doubt, it seems a hazardous thing to place a nation's hope in the hands of one man. Would it not be better to rally their loyalty more exclusively about the revolution of 1920, the Corporate State, or the sanctity...
...heat. Twenty minutes to six already. Our time is two hours behind Eastern Standard. Eggs mixed, celery chopped, beef shredded, ready for cooking. Light oil lamp, set table, put on bread, preserves, butter, milk, catsup, sugar and cream. Put two tablespoons coffee (think that's right) in drip pot and put two cups water on to boil. Nearly six. Egg mixture put over now boiling water and stirred. Done in four minutes. Five after six and we are eating, I with an eye on the clock. Twenty-six after and my dishes are at the sink...
...yearling but means any young animal that has lost its mother in the nursing period and is either reared by hand or left to shift for itself. It may be applied to a calf, a horse, or a lamb.

Then, as in Germany after the War, when everyone is ruined except a few profiteers, sanity returns, sound money is again established and everybody begins again-at the bottom. Right Horse Forward. John Citizen has not seen this gruesome spectre but it has lurked in the minds of many a financier...
Japanese affectionately call 78-year-old Finance Minister Korekiyo Takahashi "Daruma" after the pot-bellied Buddhist sage, symbol of good luck. Just now he is carrying on with the most colossal and appallingly unbalanced budget in Japanese history. Since Japan quit the gold standard (TIME, Dec. 21, 1931) her yen has fallen to 36% of its par gold value but there has been no monetary inflation, no starting of the Japanese Treasury's printing presses. Last week Mr. Takahashi, who in his youth indentured himself to an Oakland, Calif, farmer to work for three years for a total wage...
