Only two months and three governments ago, Peru tried to stabilize her sol at 40?. So impregnable is Dr. Kemmerer's prestige that he can ignore the popular roar of rage: "Kemmerer has sold...
Near Berlin last week newsmen stood behind protecting steel walls, stoppered their ears and watched a small cannon-like device vomit gases with a nerve-shattering roar. Two minutes of the din was all they could endure. The "cannon," mounted on an engine block, was Inventor Paul Heylandt's latest rocket motor propelled by burning of liquid oxygen and an alcoholic liquid. It was only two feet long, weighed 15 Ib.

Traditions, however, like the petticoats of the Mauve Decade, are apt to be occasionally cumbersome, and when they are discarded for more rational formulas of behavior, there is always a reactionary roar.

Wodehouse fans regard his lyrics for the Oh!-musicomedies (Oh, Boy, Oh, Lady, Lady! Oh, My Dear!) as best of their kind since the late Sir William Schwenk Gilbert's. Wodehouse once wrote five librettos at the same time, for shows that appeared simultaneously. Baldish, florid-faced, 49, he lives in London, but last...
