...Four months later Engelbert Dollfuss was in Britain, a darling of the British Press & public during the World Economic Conference. But in the meantime the world had awakened to the folly and menace of Hitlerism. Today no one can pluck the capercailzie on Dollfuss' cap without plucking the Roman eagle, the French cock, the British lion as well. Six months after the note on smuggled arms, these allies gave Dollfuss permission to enlarge Austria's army by 36% (TIME, Sept...
...Author is only five years old as a U. S. citizen, as a writer, 15, as a person, 33. Known to the census as Mrs. Bernard D. N.

The Roman Catholic faithful are giving sums which may eventually total as much as 1,000,000 lire ($70,000) to make a saint of Mother...
...World's Fair in Chicago there was some talk of duplicating the original Parliament. Nothing came of it. Piety at the Fair is represented by Christian Scientist and Roman Catholic exhibits, and a long, L-shaped Hall of Religions with a Gothic tower, containing such churchly wares as Protestants have cared to show (notably the silver Chalice of Antioch which may have been the Holy Grail, and Col. Henry Stanley Todd's virile portrait of Christ-TIME, April 17). Nearest thing to a Parliament is a corollary to the Fair which opened last week at the Hotel Morrison...
