...they did not know what they asked for, they soon learned. Home went the 1,200, and on the Sabbath evening they heard the radio-borne voice of Franklin Roosevelt tell them that the Government was going to be a partner in their business. What form that partnership may take, no man. probably not even Franklin Roosevelt, could say. but every partnership has two sides: a side which offers help, a side which makes demands...
...there really nothing to be done about that would-be carilloneur who shatters the foggy calm of each early Sabbath morn with one-finger renditions of such dear old favorites as "Nearer My God To Thee" and "Onward Christian Soldiers"? Undaunted by occasional mistakes, undeterred by the combined sarcastic clangor from six other steeples, he crashes out his pathetic revival-meeting cacophonies without benefit of half-notes, but with a boundless enthusiasm comparable only to that of a small boy with a horn on Christmas morning.

Deputies vowed they would not stomach Papa Cheron's proposed $213,000.000 of increased taxes and $208,000,000 of economies (TIME, Jan. 23). French postmen threatened to strike if their pay is axed.

Army engineer, bore him four sons, went with him to Russia in 1843 to build a railroad in that country: between Moscow and St. Petersburg. She held family prayers every morning, kept the Sabbath with awful rigidity and insisted on serving roast turkey and pumpkin pie on the banks of the Neva. But she would not be of the slightest interest to the U. S. public today if her son James Abbott McNeill Whistler had not grown to be a great artist, had not painted...
...Gandhi IF. In the United Kingdom, where statesmen observe the Friday-to-Monday week-end quite as scrupulously as the Sabbath, extreme inconvenience was caused by the Mahatma's fast. Daily, then hourly, then every few minutes the King-Emperor, Prime Minister MacDonald and the India Office received bulletins from the eight doctors at Yerovda Jail, not to mention bales of cablegrams from the Viceroy and hundreds of Indian leaders. If? worried the British?if Gandhi actually died without breaking his fast, would that release the violence which hundreds of millions of Indians are capable* of exerting, but which...
