Within the coupe the driver steps on his gas throttle; the propeller whirls noisily and the queer craft scoots along the road. ... At the airport the driver fetches a monoplane wing, bolts it into place just abaft the cabin door. A fuselage tail, with control surfaces, is hooked onto the coupe's bustle-like stern (see cut). The driver (now a pilot) steps on the same gas throttle as before, steers with the same steering wheel, prods the same foot-brake, kites down the runway, climbs...
...spinning like a teetotum in his grave. Viking Press issued the kind of book that was like a call of boots & saddles to the old vice crusader. Erskine Caldwell is a newcomer to the Viking list, a young author of the leftwing, hard-boiled school of U. S. fiction. Queer mixtures of Rabelaisian spade-calling, bell laughter and poetic proletarianism, God's Little Acre luridly illustrates two present-day intelligentsiac trends: towards unashamed sensuality, against capitalistic industry. It also underlines a recent tendency of U. S. publishers: to go as near the limits of censorship as possible...
...great deal of weird-sounding thrumming and drum-spanking. The curtain went up on Shankar's eight brightly-turbaned musicians, sitting cross-legged on the floor of the stage, 56 different instruments within reach.

It was delicate, highly refined music for the most part which, with its single thread of melody, might have sounded monotonous to Occidental ears but for the drummers tapping and slapping...
Julian was only 18 but he was "kind of tired." Living on his queer uncle's som-nolescent farm outside of Charlottesville, Va. suited him, but attending lectures at the University was a reccurrent chore that got increasingly hard to do. There were other, more important complications. First was Marty, who had loved Julian for a long time but not quite enough to let him seduce her. It was on a weekend at her aristocratically shabby farm that Julian met complication No. 2. Ann was Marty's cousin, but prettier and much bolder. She liked Julian right away...
...avidly I ran across the interesting and touching "Don't you bite, Bing" on p. 22 stating the shepherd dog was found rabid, foaming at the mouth and putting the boy owners in grave personal danger. I just finished Albert Payson Terhune's article "Queer Things About Your Dog," which states, on his long experience as a breeder of prize collies, that a dog foaming at the mouth is not rabid-that a dog foams at the mouth from a number of causes, and that a rabid dog is too sick and dazed to hurt anyone...
