With his white beard waggling in emphasis, Exeter's Gascoyne-Cecil graphically described his latest visit to the U. S., urging British Laborites to go and see for themselves how sordid, graft-ridden and enslaved by party machines he found U. S. Democracy. This brought His Lordship to his point, namely, that the House of Lords ought not to pass the India Bill (TIME, June 17) on second reading last week because it may give Indians a modicum of Democracy. "How are you going to void some great political machine's controlling the great masses of India?" cried...

But that your representative should overlook the glorious beauty of the fairgrounds, which alone would warrant a visit from millions of visitors, is hard to forgive.

Last week, after a cheery visit from the King and Queen, Princess Mary went to a private sanatorium to have her goitre out. A curving incision was made into the front of her neck.

From that point on, the story follows the accepted G-Man course: a hunt, punctuated by machine...
With their precious bags of dust well-hidden in their saddlebags they started the perilous journey back to civilization. All went well until old Howard incautiously revived an apparently drowned Indian boy. The father's gratitude was so importunate that he insisted Howard make him an extended visit, to be properly rewarded and to try his skill on other patients. Curtin and Dobbs, taking Howard's share of gold and agreeing to meet him in the nearest city, went on alone. Soon bad blood broke out; each was afraid to sleep lest the other kill him. One night...
