...Empire, a description in words of one and two syllables of the relations between Edward VIII and Mrs. Simpson. Only a few days prior these had been so "scandalous" (because undignified) that they were supposed to be something which only a few nasty-minded British adults would stoop to read in the "American press...
...Republican to drop out was Rhode Island's rich, conservative Jesse H. Metcalf, who lost to rich, scholarly Theodore Francis Green, lawyer and banker, close friend of Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes. Mr. Green was 30 years in politics before being elected governor four years ago. Horse-faced, stoop-shouldered and 69, he will take to the U. S.

A Growers-Shippers' Association official estimated that the strike was losing his friends and their idle employes...

Chlorine, essential to sterilize the pools in which the sick bathe, causes a skin irritation which is almost impossible to cure unless the physiotherapist keeps, out of the water entirely. If the patient exercises alone in a small raised pool, the attendant must stoop over to give treatments and this often develops backaches. To avoid backaches and skin troubles, smart hydrotherapists wear cotton athletic suits inside light-weight waterproof waders which cover them from soles to armpits...
