Last week in the picture-postcard setting that makes California's Santa Anita Park the most beautiful race track in the U. S., 50,000 turf addicts gathered for the rich Santa Anita Derby, first of this year's three $50,000 races for three-year-olds.* With the exception of William Ziegler's elegant El Chico, No. 1 Glamor Horse of last year's juveniles, who was not permitted to make a public appearance so early in the season, practically all the top-crust three-year-olds were in the parade to the post.

Reason : thousands of Aroostookians are unemployed, with no money to buy lemons or oranges, and not many of them had taken the trouble to grow and can tomatoes, which are especially rich in Vitamin...
...meeting of the venerable, rich American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia last week, grey, gentle Astronomer Henry Norris Russell of Princeton (see p. 58) explained what he considers the most reasonable modern theory on this question.

Outstanding is the script, which brightens what might have been a dull problem drama...
Country editors have little chance, however, of getting rich. The average publisher-owner of a small-town weekly earns about $2,400 a year, including income from his job printing. If he lives far out on the range, like Editor Charles Laflin of the Covert, S. Dak., Advance, he must often take turkeys and fence posts for subscriptions. He is likely to be chosen mayor, basketball referee or blood donor at any moment. He works 60 to 80 hours a week, and rarely reads a book. And above all, he has to watch what he prints.
