...furniture, and the dollar 'Bill Jones' owes you. On the other sheet you list what you owe the grocer . . . what you owe on your car. Then subtract what you owe from what you own. The result is what you are worth. . . . This figure is placed on your second sheet. Thus the first sheet-'what you own'-and the second sheet-'what you owe and what you are worth'-balance exactly...
...first game of the playoff, staged in San Francisco's Civic Auditorium, a slippery floor confused both teams. With Luisetti as high man scoring 20 points, Stanford won, 52-to-39. In the second game, played in Stanford's small Pavilion ("Cracker Box"), Luisetti's teammates began feeding him shots in the hope of bringing his scoring record to 1,600.

Last year's Oscar to Actor Paul Muni (Louis Pasteur) disappointed many who thought Actor Tracy deserved it for a row of consistently fine jobs (among them: Father Tim in San Francisco, Joe Wilson in Fury).

...sigh for the good old days. In the museum's peaceful, arched Romanesque Hall is an organ, the only one of its kind in the U. S., built to the precise specifications of Bach's period.* Last week Organist Biggs, with his facsimile organ, started the second half of a cycle of concerts which will include all of Bach's organ works, played exactly as they might have sounded to Composer Bach himself...
