...cars in which Their Majesties rode with the President and Mme Albert Lebrun a hollow square of close-riding, flashing-helmeted cavalry of the Garde Républicaine, added motorcycle outriders for good measure. There were 10,000 reserve officers in the houses along the route. Thus the State progress from the Bois de Boulogne to the Arc de Triomphe, down the Champs-Elysees, across the Place de la Concorde to the Palais d'Orsay, last week was a stately military parade, enlivened by wave on wave of cheering, and by Gaelic chaffing at the expense of "That scared...
Back in Paris that evening, Queen Elizabeth decided it was about time she and King George insisted on appearing to the clamoring Paris populace at close range. In progress at the Palais d'Orsay was an evening's entertainment by such world favorites as Maurice Chevalier and Yvonne Printemps, staged for the King and Queen and about 120 guests. The party could be seen through the brightly lighted windows of the Palace. Popular cheers and impatience increased, and Minister of Interior Albert Sarraut squirmed nervously on his chair, several times half rose as if to order the curtains...
...subtlest performer for Hill & Knowlton was George Ephraim Sokolsky, author, lecturer, industrial consultant. Some of Mr. Sokolsky's lecturing was done at "civic progress meetings" arranged and paid for by local employers but publicly sponsored by "neutral" groups.

The title of the first was Encyclopedia and Unified Science; of the second, Foundations of the Theory of Signs. The two are forerunners of 18 more to be published by August 1939. The first 20 pamphlets, comprising two "volumes," are to be the starting point for other volumes. Editor-in-chief of the project is Otto Neurath...
...Neurath's plan of an International Encyclopedia of Unified Science moved toward fruition. This large project was not intended to impose an arbitrary super-system on all the branches of learning, or to suppress honest controversy over the interpretation of facts, which is a potent stimulus to scientific progress. The Encyclopedia was rather to build bridges from one science to another, to show the unity of the scientific attitude, purpose and method. It was to be a scientific study of science - an encyclopedia of "Metascience." Says Dr. Neurath of his project: "[It] so aims to integrate the scientific disciplines...
