...Smith, a colored show-off who composed I'se A-muggin', a song whose lyrics consist of counting and grunting; and the clowning Riley-Farley Band which caused a minor musical epidemic in 1936 with The Music Goes Round & Around. Well on their way toward the same sort of eminence last week were six droll musicians of St. Paul, Minn., who play under the name of the Schnickelfritz Band and whose chief assets are two trunkfuls of funny hats and a large supply of wigs, beards and spectacles. Night after night people lined...
...Government's, which occasionally lapses into periods of semi-freedom. This usually happens when news is thin. But when a correspondent tries to telephone a big story from Madrid, the receiving offices in Paris and London often get a curious blend of bells, roars and radio speeches This sort of thing is so hard on the average correspondent's nerves, that he usually sends most of his copy by telegraph, where the censorship is automatic and predictable.

In the same sort of match, twinkle-toed Sarah Palfrey Fabyan in her well-bred fashion beat left-handed Margot Lumb, English squash racquets champion. For the last doubles match Captain Hazel Hotchkiss Wightman, the Cup's sturdy donor who still: plays capable tennis herself, substituted chubby Dorothy May Sutton Bundy for Miss Jacobs, who had done...
Last week the arrest of four men in Albany, N. Y. revealed that this sort of itinerant dentistry is still going on, despite the fact that 59,000 U. S. graduate dentists have offices which practically any patient can reach. If the patient is too ill to travel or, like President Roosevelt, very important, the dentists may go to him.* But this is considered extraordinary dental practice. Nonetheless, there are no laws to prevent licensed dentists who cannot gather the $3,000 necessary to equip a regular office, from putting their equipment in satchels, packs or motor trailers, so long...
