...pray to her daily, but I am not sure I'd die for a novena to the Little Flower. There is too much Novena-itis, too many spiritual lollypops in presentday religion. I favor novenas, of course, but I do not believe that God is ultimately going to save us by numbers. If I am going to face a firing squad, I will die for something that means more to me than life itself. Hence, we must teach our young people rock-bottom dogmas, which are worth more than life itself. And you can make the truths of faith...
Flautist Johnson believes that amateur music is the moral equivalent of athletics, as much good fun as bowling or stud poker. Save for a chapter on "The Art of Coming In." in which he details the feelings of a flautist resting for 74 measures of a Haydn symphony in the knowledge that he must enter on the first beat of the 75th, Author Johnson gives little practical advice in his lean volume.

...becoming the dean of doodlebug promoters last week. Don Zeiter is a dour 41-year-old Ohioan so close-mouthed that he will not admit that Donald is his first name.

S. women's singles championship went not to a dark horse but to what the horse world calls a sleeper, i.e., one whose victory comes as a great surprise to all save the very sophisticated. Last year's Champion Alice Marble, who was scheduled to meet Poland's hefty Jadwiga ("Jaja") Jedrzejowska in the final, was instead put out in the quarter-finals by Dorothy May Bundy. Chubby Miss Bundy, who resembles her famed tennis-playing mother May Sutton (U. S. champion 1904, and Wimbledon champion...
...through the fall. Sure enough, the slump started in March, and, assisted by cold water from President Roosevelt, the crack-up of the British commodity boom and the unhappy state of the nation's labor relations, reached bottom in June. For two months thereafter all was well enough, save for the extreme thinness of stock and bond trading. On Aug. 14 Dow-Jones industrial averages reached a high of 190 for the summer. Then, to the confusion of prophets, the whole market began slipping. By last week the market was back almost to the year's lows...
