Rich old Trinity Church, whence such bishops as William Thomas Manning have been elevated, has seven satellite chapels, snug berths which are insulated against penury as well as against inordinate theo logical liberalism. Grey-haired, good-looking Dr. Sutton became curate of Trinity Chapel 22 years ago after having been headmaster of St. Paul's School in Baltimore. Made vicar, he was nearly elected suffragan bishop of New York in 1921. Dr. Sutton is a bachelor. Inside his small parish he devoted himself to friendly pastoral visiting. Outside it he demonstrated interest in causes like the Society for Promoting...

That job, shrewd Zita thinks, will be taken on by the Great Powers to prevent just such a general war as Dr. Benes envisioned.

Soaring with him over the steaming, noisome jungle went his swank second wife, Dutch relict of a U. S. soap manufacturer, Michael Winburn (Omega, Cadum...
...Government "more brutal and imperialistic" than the tyranny of Gerardo Machado which they overthrew two years ago. But what most enraged them was the fact that the Cuban people are swinging away from them and back to the old-line parties of the early Machado days. And, in snug Paris exile, Machado was saying, "Just as I expected." Meanwhile the Chase National Bank last week submitted to President Mendieta a long argument showing why his Government should resume interest payments on a $60,000,000 Chase-sponsored loan...
