After his retirement as headmaster of the Taft School in June of this year, he was elected president of the Connecticut Merit System Association. No figurehead, he gave up a planned trip to Murray Bay and worked through the heat of the summer months, developing this organization. He literally stumped the entire State, delivering talks before large audiences whom he described as follows: "Their lack of knowledge on this vital subject is appalling, but, once informed, their enthusiasm for our movement is equally encouraging." In the short space of three months, Mr. Taft has lifted an old but relatively obscure...
...Landon, bashful in politics, has made not one campaign trip with her Nominee-husband, has made not one public campaign speech. Once or twice she has spoken off the record at small gatherings of women's clubs in Kansas, but until last week it appeared that the campaign of 1936 was to pass into history without her contributing a single word to the record. Not to be completely left out, however, she attended a meeting last week in Topeka of the Independent Coalition of American Women and there she told a story...
Undenied by any British source, the story of the King and Mrs. Simpson last week was blunt and simple. Under English law a man who makes a trip in company with another man's wife, the two stopping at the same hotels, has in fact given the husband opportunity to sue the wife for divorce on the ground of adultery.

But Mr. Simpson, as a loyal British subject, could not institute proceedings...
...disclosures of last week came as a logical and orderly sequence to events going back nearly 20 years. The present King, just after the War, made a first trip to the U. S. of a most exemplary character. On his second trip "he got in with the wrong sort of society people on Long Island," as an intimate member of H.R.H.'s entourage remarked at the time. Efforts to extricate their eldest son from this fast and loose international set were unremittingly pursued by King George and Queen Mary, one of their methods being to send Edward of Wales...
Listing $700,000 debts and no assets, Edward Fitz-Gerald, Duke of Leinster appeared in London's Bankruptcy Court to tell his creditors how he had embarked in 1928 on a lavish "prospecting" trip to find a U. S. bride who would cure his chronic financial trouble. The impoverished Duke, who once sold stock in himself as "The Dukedom of Leinster Estates, Inc.," said he was twice fooled by "possibilities," finally married Mrs. Rafaelle van Neck of Manhattan, no heiress...
