Once upon a time the "Advocate" parodied the Dial, and swarms of little magazines settled like locusts upon the country. More recently "Time" appeared under the Pegasus hoofprint; everyone knows what that did to life. Now fortune sndles on the "Saturday Review of Literature," just fathered by Mother Advocate. Run to your newsdealer, buy a copy, be in the thick of the fight. The "Saturday Review's" circulation soars; the "New Masses" vituperates; the Writers' Congress passes posthumous deprecation Number 33; Bernard De Voto glows and expands...

Conventioneers applauded when the Rev. Dr. George Johnson of the Catholic University of America told them that "Catholics recognize Communism for what it is ... a heresy. Whatever Communism creates ... is just so much machinery for eliminating God from human society!" They cheered again when Bishop John M. Gannon of Erie cried: ''Who knows, but that in the secrets of Divine Providence, the Spanish people...
...museum trustee who last week undertook to head the campaign for the $10,779,925 is Lawyer Alexander Perry Osborn, eldest son of the museum's late President Henry Fairfield Osborn. Out of Princeton in 1905, out of Harvard Law School (he edited the Harvard Law Review) in 1909, young Perry Osborn became special guardian of the infant children of John Jacob Astor after that multi-millionaire sank with the S. S. Titanic (1912). During the War, he organized the War Credits Board. He served as chairman of the committee for the reorganization of the Army General Staff. Currently...
