...that the U. S. Secretary of State had been made Minister to their country. Blithely unconscious of Mr. Kellogg's Secretaryship, they attached all manner of significance to the appointment of Mr. Wright, who happens to be merely Mr. Kellogg's suave and able assistant. Mr. Wright, a onetime rancher from Wyoming, has been in the diplomatic service and the Department of State since...
...DELECTABLE MOUNTAINS- Maxwell Struthers Burt-Scribner ($2). That this novel was still possible in the U. S. is a matter for great thanksgiving. It is a book about the "great open spaces" by an enlightened man. A strong, silent rancher marries a virtuous Manhattan chorus girl, loses her for a while, fights predatory waterpower interests, tries city life, goes back at last to the cows, mountains, little grey home and prospective patter of tiny feet. But with what a difference are these properties handled by a man who writes with a mind instead of a sack of mush! Instead...
...love story, in the first place, becomes a delicate, powerful study in reticences. Charm conquers incredibility when, on 24 hours' notice, Mercedes Garcia of polyglot Pennsylvania origin marries Stephen Londreth, rancher-runaway from Philadelphia's aristocracy.

...fire's garish flicker. Seventy-five years ago such a picture was common around Cheyenne, Wyoming, which was later named for these super-redskins. Last week, U. S. Senator Francis Emroy Warren, 82, Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, last governor of Wyoming territory, first governor of Wyoming state, rancher, realtor, arose from his Cheyenne verandah, strode down the asphalt street. White-haired, senectissimus of all U. S. Senators, Mr. Warren had recently completed his annual summer report on appropriations (TIME, July 26). Mr. Warren had public respect, not only as a Senator, businessman - many had that...
...unquestionably the best lyrics in town. It has a sound enough set of jokes and more than the usual allotment of brisk dancing. Eva Puck and Sam White, vaudeville favorites, are the featured entertainers. They too, if not supreme, are soundly satisfactory. They tell the story of a chicken-rancher on Long Island who became a champion six-day bicycle rider. And of his girl, who was so dumb that when he took her to The Big Parade he had to buy her a flag...
