During the present campaign it has been the fate of shallow minds to confuse the dramatic, band-stand plays of Roosevelt for political liberalism. The Yale News falls squarely into this trap. It pays the New Deal the compliment of having done something for the worker. If the N.R.A., with its haphazard and unalterable codes drawn up by the Chamber of Commerce at will, could do anything for labor, that benefits has yet to appear. If the breakup of the united labor front in this country into a Green and a Lewis camp, which was openly fostered by the President...
...Church. Southern California is historically dear to Rome. In 1769, Franciscan Father Junipero Serra with 75 Spanish soldiers and a gang of Mexican muleteers journeyed 900 mi. overland from Lower California to the Pacific, which they reached at the sandspit of San Diego. On Aug. 2, they forded a shallow river among sunburnt hills, discovered a village of unpromising heathens, named it for the feast day of Our Lady of the Angels and pushed on. Few years later the glory of God was attested by Franciscan missions in these towns and for 1,000 miles along the Pacific Coast...
Biggest splash of all was made by Southern Pacific on the way out of the deep red of 1935, when it lost $3,323,000 in the first six months, into the shallow but significant black of $113,912 earned this year in the same period.

The Van Sweringen line, Chesapeake & Ohio, placed orders...

Working with a primitive "coffee grinder" mill, they began turning out $500 worth of gold a day, paid off the two prospectors within a year and up to last week had taken $80,000 in gold out of the earth. Last week the dazzling story of the Jumbo strike spread across the country on the authority of no less a mining expert than Herbert Hoover...
...reminds me of the beautiful Russian Crimea," Comrade Troyanovsky told Bay Ridgers. "It reminds me," cried Minister Youssef, "of Rås el-Barr beach in Egypt at the mouth of the Nile. The shallow water suits me because I don't swim, although I like to float. Don't call me 'Excellency' or use my title 'Bey.' Just call me Mr. Youssef." Bay Ridgers soon discovered that Ambassador Troyanovsky serves tea and tinfoil wrapped Soviet candies to almost any caller, that Minister Youssef, although a teetotaler, is good for a Scotch and soda...
