But since the word vitamin is as popular with laymen as "calory" once was, chemists will probably continue in their alphabetical way until they bump into...
...trouble with banks is that they all have vacuous names, stone fronts, impenetrable vaults, courteous tellers, identical services. In Pasadena, Calif, the president of First Trust & Savings Bank (assets: $16,331,000), tall, easy, white-haired James S. (for Smellie) MacDonnell, now 62, long ago found a way to kick his bank into the public eye.

...solos. Besides his own Echo of Spring, Morning Air, Fading Star, The Lion plays six numbers written by others. Two of these represent him at his very best and worst. On Tea for Two the briskness and sprightliness, as they must occasionally to all improvising pianists, get way out of hand. His sincerest admirers will play oftener the solider, more artfully imaginative passages of The Boy and the Boat, a number which should make even plain listeners' feet pat as rapidly as their cheeks would blush if the meaning of its title were generally known...
