Reader Alma Jacobsen in her letter-TIME, Aug. 2 wants all of us to take down our hair and weep over the sad state of affairs endured by America's domestic servants. These poor souls who work 24 hours per day for almost nothing, and are cast into the mustiness of the family cellar when not in use. are few and far between. High wages or low wages, the average domestic servant employed in the American home is about as belligerent, independent, and uncooperative as a "spoiled child." They do less and expect more out of life than does...
...From the tristes (which are the blues of Spanish America) to the saudades of Brazil, the whole Continent weeps and regrets in music; the Indians on their flutes, made from a hollowed human tibia, weep for the Incas, Brazilian Negroes weep for Africa (though they have benefited considerably by their change), the gentlemen of fashion in Santiago weep for Piccadilly, the intelligenzia weep for Moscow, and lovely women for Paris...

Sargent & Ross are broadcasting for Tangee Lipstick with Greta Keller. They help give the program speed which, but for the excess of advertising comment, would make it one of the best on the air. Greta Keller has started making U. S. records. Best one so far is "Willow Weep for Me" (Brunswick). But her talent is wasted on stereotype jazz. With her warm, persuasive voice she can establish a dozen different moods. Critics have spotted her as an ideal performer for any brewery which, in the next year or so, decides to do its beer advertising with leisurely, old-fashioned...
