STRICTLY ILLEGAL POTATOES FOR SALE, flaunted the heading of a three-column, bold-face advertisement in two Genesee Valley, N. Y. newspapers last week. Therein one Porter Ralph Chandler offered to sell, "when, as and if grown," six bushels of potatoes, promised that he would not ask the Secretary of Agriculture for permission to grow them, would not pay a 45? per bushel penalty tax for neglecting to secure such permission. Prospective buyers were warned that they would be equally liable with the seller to a $1.000 fine...
...endless; timeless, its speed is as the flash of ideas. And so perhaps to Rome one hour; to Greece another. A trip to the stars before noon; to the soil of the earth as quickly. Nor will the Vagabond confine himself simply to places; but more important, to ideas. Therein lies the adventure of adventure. So come prepared, ye young ones. Soon the Vagabond's travels will begin.

What Dr. Starkey found at Lachish last week were twelve scraps of pottery, apparently from the archives of the city, dating from the time of the Book of Kings and containing the names of many a person mentioned therein. Amazingly, the potsherds seemed to be inscribed in ink. Even more amazingly, they were written in ancient Hebrew-first important ones yet discovered in that tongue, which was outmoded even in the time of Christ, who spoke Aramaic. Some words on the 2,500-year-old potsherds were spelled exactly...
What Lehmann accomplished with the rôle has long been legendary. She sang it in the first Götterdämmerung given in the U. S. in 1888 and therein set a standard which no other singer has ever quite achieved. Vocally she was a match for Wagner's mighty orchestra. Dramatically she was the "heroic female figure" that Wagner imagined. Those who heard her have never forgotten the horror in her voice when she turned on Siegfried, the fury she became when she swore the piercing oath on the spear...
