Originally declared winner by 550 votes of a New Hampshire seat in the U. S. House last month was Arthur B. Jenks, Republican. His Democratic opponent, Alphonse Roy, demanded a recount, result of which was announced last fortnight as the first Congressional tie in 110 years: 51,679-to-51,679 (TIME, Dec. 7). Last week the State Ballot Law Commission spent eleven hours examining contested ballots, declared Democrat Roy the winner by 17 votes. Prospective Republican membership in the 75th House was thus whittled from a minuscule 89 to a more minuscule...
With such a large collection as this on view, the changes in craftsmanship and taste from period to period can easily be traced. This is particularly true because each piece can be definitely assigned to the correct period in which it belongs as a result of research by Fogg workers in the silver marks by which the dates and often the names of the makers are discovered...
...Fifties celebrates the glories of this vanished life with 30 water color paintings by Alice Ravenel Huger Smith, a 52-page discussion of the Rice Coast by Dr. Herbert Ravenel Sass, a 38-page memoir of boyhood on a rice plantation by the late Daniel Elliott Huger Smith.

But to speak of Wodehouse's plot is like speaking of the plot...
...CRIMSON of the constitutional reverberations of England's matrimonial uproar presents the case for the King with all its strength most advantageously arrayed. Mr. McIlwain points out that the limitation of royal power in the interests of democracy has progressed far enough. He shows that distinct dangers would result from any derangement of the present balance between King and Cabinet, such as abdication of the one compelled by the other would necessarily produce. He rightly exposes the haste of the Baldwin government in forcing the issue, justifiable only on the basis that public opinion, if given time to mobilize, would...
