...Gertie" is not, as the title might suggest, the latest in the interminable line of sugar-coated whimseys dealing with precocious teen-agers. It is, rather, a sophisticated comedy of modern manners, more reminiscent of Noel Coward than of Corliss Archer. Enid Bagnold's dry English wit rescues her new comedy-drama from the pitfalls of its situation and deftly transforms an apparently standard British household into a group of extraordinarily unstandard living people...

Recently the inmates of the Washington State Penitentiary competed in a Stone Bowl...

When the powder is applied heavily, it kills all plant life, keeps soil sterile for more than a year, is thus useful for clearing railroad tracks, outside storage areas, etc. Used in smaller amounts, du Font's new product attacks weeds only, permits such crops as sugar cane, cotton, corn, asparagus or carrots to flourish...
