...ally of Boss Hague by no means argues a lack of sincerity in her efforts on behalf of labor legislation. On the other hand, neither her sincerity nor her afternoon of triumph last week indicates that Aunt Mary, who as chairman of the House District Committee was a great success as "the first woman Mayor of Washington," has been an equally outstanding success as Labor chairman. Undoubtedly, her efforts and those of her steering committee, headed by Massachusetts' Arthur Healey, last week helped get Wages-&-Hours its hearing on the floor, but the real reasons for the sensational transformation...

Just north of Shanghai, almost due east of Nanking, at Tungchow, the none-too-modest Japanese communiques claimed their only major success of the week-the de-feat of 10,000 Chinese attempting to cut off this important base from other Japanese-controlled points...

...inter-House group, composed of the seven House Committee chairmen, was inaugurated last fall to apportion dates for the House dances, and to prevent conflicts. The success of the Committee in this direction has been very mild. Four possible conflicts, it is true, have been averted on the Committee's behalf. But at Christmas time the first major conflict occurred when Winthrop held a dance the same night as did Kirkland. Since then the Inter-House Committee has been inactive, with the possible consequence that supervision of House dances will pass into higher hands...
