...having maligned the whole profession of dentists," the manager of the Comedy Theatre in Budapest was fined, last week, 50 pengos ($8.75). He had produced Lullaby, by satiric Dramatist Ladislaus Fodor, who makes one of his characters say: "In my youth I had scientific ambitions, but I deteriorated and became a dentist...

Say advertising men: "Advertising has undoubtedly contributed in a significant way to setting the industry on its feet." Packers of Pink and Chum salmon (about 60% of the total pack) were worried in the spring of 1926. A large run was expected, and they already had 1.500,000 cases left over from the previous year.
