...British officers watched through field glasses from Gibraltar across the bay. The bombardment also set fire to odorous piles of cork, waiting shipment to Britain, wrecked the British-owned Hotel Cristina and pinked the wife of the British vice consul in the arm. Cruising off Gijon, the yacht Blue Shadow was shelled by a Spanish rebel warship which killed its British owner Captain Rupert Savile and wounded his wife, whose U. S. passport described her as Eloise Drake of Norwich, Conn...
...inconsolable widow, has scarcely been challenged by biographers. Readers might feel that Strachey had not told them all that was to be said about Victoria, but they were likely to be convinced, upon finishing his book, that he had told them about all they wanted to hear. In the shadow of that disadvantage Edith Sitwell last week offered a balanced, well-rounded-study of the Queen that included little new information about her, much expert writing on the sedate life of her times.

S. specialist on solar radiation, Astrophysicist Charles Greeley Abbot of the Smithsonian Institution, was in Rochester, N. Y. showing members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science a cartoon of himself. The sketch: big-mustached, ponderous Dr. Abbot sitting atop California's Mount Wilson with an "Abbot sun and moon measurer," while a little bear points to a Hollywood constellation of stars among which a chunky one represents Mae West...
