...Berlin one morning last week 100 Jewish children piled aboard a special car on a train for the Hook of Holland. At the German border they were joined by 100 others from the Hamburg area. They were the vanguard of some 5,000 persecuted German youngsters whom a British committee headed by Jewish Viscount Samuel has arranged to settle in English homes. And they were the first refugees who have enjoyed the cooperation of the Reich in getting...
Sure to be selected on every All-America is Texas Christian's little quarterback, Davey O'Brien, outstanding player of the year, who has been the vanguard of his team's victorious procession over their ten opponents this season. Against Southern Methodist last week little Davey led a strategic attack that not only gave Coach Dutch Meyer's Horned Frogs a 20-to-7 victory but the championship of the Southwest Conference as well.

Across the country, as smart Jackson Elliott could see, the pension wave had lesser crests, and in California spring tide seemed at hand. California the wonderland, California the rugged and golden, lies at that edge of the continent where the migrations that made the nation ended. There the last vanguard of pioneers halted and the rearguard of sick, halt, lame, blind, crooked and crazy have caught up. It is a home of saints and scoundrels, heroines and houris. There since Depression I has grown up a strange society in which men born in the great open spaces and hardshells with...
