...questions about the intentions of Nazidom in Europe (TIME, May 18). Presently the handsome young Foreign Secretary's doctor packed him off to the country for a "complete rest," and pretty Mrs. Eden explained that her poor "Tony" has been working 16 hours-per-day. His previous letdown (TIME, April 15, 1935) was after he over-exerted himself meeting on one trip those two strenuous dictators Hitler & Stalin, men accustomed to work 16 hours-per-day as long as may be necessary, without cracking...
...past three months U. S. business activity has continued to mount. The New York Times's weekly index, which does make allowance for longtime upward trends, has been above 100 for several weeks. Power production last week was the highest on record, exceeding even the previous high set last December when nights were long and there was no daylight saving. U. S. railroads last week loaded 690,716 freight cars, 21% more than in the same week of last year. Steel mills were operating at 74% of capacity, and even U. S. Steel Corp. was expected to show appreciable...

Eleven Clearing House members, including such institutions as Chase National, National City and Irving Trust, settled out of court for some $3,600,000. But the court held last week that the other nine members were quite within their rights in refusing to pay a penny. Read...
...Genesee Valley, Author Carmer went to revival meetings where the hysterical confessions of repentant sinners ranged from the grotesque to the pathetic, where two little girls tormentedly admitted that under the excitement of the previous night's revival they had walked home with their boy friends and done things they should not have done. Before such contemporary and embarrassing evidence of the persistence of the religious moods that inspired Joseph Smith and John Humphrey Noyes, Author Carmer maintains an aloof compassion, avoiding sentimentality as well as the mockery which used to animate Critic Henry Mencken when he wrote about...
