...start the wheels of the Geneva Disarmament Conference grinding again President Roosevelt's quiet little Ambassador-at-Large Norman H. Davis busied himself in London and in Paris last week with clearing up the "misunderstandings" created when the President, as Europeans think, "wrecked the World Economic Conference" by refusing to stabilize the dollar (TIME, July 10 et seq.). In London Mr. Davis called on Prime Minister James Ramsay MacDonald who was still snorting over what he considered the President's omission to act in currency matters along the line privately agreed upon when Scot MacDonald visited the White...
...quiet, earnest person, Manning made barely enough at his jumping to support a pretty wife and five-year-old son at Pico, Calif. Last month he got $1,000 for eight jumps at the California State Fair at Sacramento. On he went to Chicago for the International Air Races, spent the whole sum on four new 'chutes. Following the races he attended a party at the South Bend, Ind. home of Vincent Bendix (automobile and airplane parts). Another guest, Charles T. Otto, offered to fly him and a girl friend back across Lake Michigan's tip to Chicago...

After reading it, many who also read the Harper Prize Novel (The Fault of Angels, TIME, Aug. 28) may wonder why Lamb in His Bosom did not get the prize, may recall rumors that at least one of the judges (Dorothy Canfield. Sinclair Lewis, Harry Hansen) voted in its favor. Authoress Miller may miss the prize-money but Lamb in His Bosom can get along without any such endorsement...
...those quiet corners where Germans dare talk about politics at all, Premier Goring's trousers were the sensation of the week. The military rank of Nazi Goring, second most powerful man in Germany, was until last week just what it had been at the end of the War, Captain. His promotion, jumping him six full steps, came not from Adolf Hitler but from the President, old Field Marshal von Hindenburg (who took 27 years to advance the same distance). Cautious Germans, secretly fearing the Nazi experiment, have long consoled themselves with the thought that the Reichswehr...
