...Roman Catholic satisfaction over its annulment of the marriage of the Duke of Marlborough to Consuelo Vanderbilt (TIME, Nov. 22).

"That girl was a happy and radiant bride when she went to the altar," said he, referring to the recent testimony of Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, Consuelo's mother, that she, Mrs. Belmont, coerced her daughter. "I know some of the Vanderbilts personally. . . . There was no hint from any quarter that the bride was under...

I first showed the breaking down of what the 19th Century so confidently regarded as a final interpretation of the physical universe, by 20th Century discoveries-radio activity, the inter-convertability of matter and light, the corpuscular theory of radiant energy, etc. Next I showed that while there is always 'something new under the sun' yet our new truths only amplify older ones and many of the older truths remain eternal-for example, Newton is included by Einstein, and Christ's teachings are still unsurpassed.

...this for the sake of my own little daughters and the homes they are to make some day, perhaps for some of your misguided sons. ... I hold aloft this picture dream of my own girlies and declare: 'These are my jewels.' And these are my reasons, my radiant, priceless reasons, for making no compromise before the angels of heaven or the demons of hell with the poisoned enemies of our homes, our churches, our schools, and our threatened civilization...
