...Mass should be stopped at once, to be resumed later if possible. But if the consecration has been performed, the priest must consume the Host and wine, then end the Mass.

Morning's at Seven (by Paul Osborn; produced by Dwight Deere Wiman). Two seasons ago the Broadway critics threw their hats in the air over Playwright Osborn's On Borrowed Time, a deft piece of flimsy-whimsey about a small boy, an old man, and Death kept at bay in an apple tree.

He once headed a detachment of the National Resources Committee which, on the basis of trend analysis, listed 13 technologies due for a booming industrial future (TIME, July 26, 1937). Such predictions are made possible by extending (or, in sociological jargon, "extrapolating") into the future the trend line as charted up to the present. Last week Dr. Ogburn observed that trend analysis had enabled U. of C. investigators to estimate the probability of parole violations, of happy...

...bounds of science into law, history, education, linguistics. *Writing on the racetrack information racket last week, Scripps-Howard Columnist Westbrook Pegler observed: "Chicago has been so rotten for years that the town may seem to be abandoned and utterly without any will to turn square, but, for the first time in the modern history of the city, there are some stirrings of conscience and civic decency...
