Somewhere in the makeup of the most efficient and energetic American is a weakness for parades and few obligations will keep him from stopping to watch one go by. Yet often processions that are arranged for his sole benefit meet with the most complete neglect, as witness the substantial deficit remaining to Mr. Pyle after the completion of his cross country "bunion derby". In Nebraska another attempted parade has just fallen through. This time it is the calvacade of indignant farmers in autos that was expected to descend upon Kansas City and impress upon the Republican Convention gathered there...
...omniscience. Your article on dirty Buchmanites (May 28) is utterly unfair, strangely ignorant; your quotation from a "Princeton song" a gratuitous insult. Members of the First Century Christian Fellowship (the movement to which you no doubt refer) are not correctly called Buchmanites; there is no mystery about the Morning Watch-it consists of prayer, Bible reading, religious meditation; there is specifically Biblical authority for the stress laid on "confession" (James 5:16).

Delegate Otis F. Glenn of Illinois, the stocky, drawling lawyer who prosecuted the murderers at Bloody Herrin, was watched for as the man slated to place Candidate Lowden in nomination.

...number of outstanding scholars in each graduating class is the hope and joy of the tutorial system as conducted at Harvard. The present incentive to attain Honors and Distinction is undoubtedly responsible for the increase in likely candidates for Phi Beta Kappa. Wheather it is the familiar watch chain symbol or the magic, "cum," "magna" or "summa," which attracts undergraduates to excel in such a secondary commodity as book learning is not important. The results are the same, and the urge inspired by the same ideals. At any rate Phi Beta Kappa finds itself in the rather pleasant position...
That the world may see streaks of light through the long hours of darkness, Orange, N. J., women hired themselves to the U. S. Radium Corporation. Daily they took up watch dials and painted the blind numerals with a magic dye which made them glow at night. The company paid a high price for the paint. When a few drops were left in the glass after the brushes were twirled and pointed, supervisors complained. The girls were taught to point and clean the brushes with their lips. Thirteen died. Last week the U. S. Radium Corporation was defendant...
