...immediate redemption; obviously one is going to lose out. Before the story has proceeded very far it becomes apparent that the souls of the doctor and of the dance hall hostess are not stained irrevocably, since they have both been wronged. It is a question of time before the slick and ally gambler. Ricardo Coriez, fades from the scene. Thus he is the cause of a pleasant surprise when he faces his end with a great deal of tact...
...York. Samuel Seabury and many another denounce its Chancellor. Last week the State Department knew that it was going to have more trouble with Dr. Luther. Representative Samuel Dickstein, a small, slick Tammany Democrat from Manhattan's Bowery district, got the House of Representatives to adopt (168-to-31) his resolution to create a special committee to investigate everywhere throughout the land "the extent, character and object of Nazi propaganda in the U.

Two days earlier the dogs had been alert and slick, primed to the pink by kennelmen looking to reputation and profits through wins in the No. 1 U. S. dog show. Now dogs and handlers lolled together in the cramped boxes, panting in unison. But there was still enough spirit left in the terriers and high-strung German Shepherds to keep the basement a yapping bedlam...

Decidedly slick was a move proposed in Belgium and favorably discussed among members of the Chamber. While the dollar is cheap and the belga is dear, proposed Deputy Marquet, let the Government borrow enough belgas to pay off Belgian debts in the U. S. at the present attractive discount.
