Marlborough House: Same day the Duke & Duchess of York call upon Queen Mary at 10 a. m. and the Duke afterwards exclaims "the worst has happened!" The King, after spending in his snuggery with Mrs. Simpson what is to be their last day together for some time, drives in to call on his mother at 6:30 p. m., then slips over to Buckingham Palace and confers with the Duke of York. Simultaneously Mr. Baldwin confers in the Houses of Parliament with the Archbishop of Canterbury...
While Chicago music lovers were squirming last winter under the worst Chicago operas they had ever heard. Conductor Ebba Sundstrom was swooping her Woman's Symphony Orchestra through its tenth, most gratifying season (TIME, Dec. 16, 1935). Long before her last concert it became clear that the Opera's loss was the Symphony's gain, that the woman's orchestra might look for more subscriptions, bigger patrons this autumn. Flushed with success, many patrons felt that a more dynamic, impressive conductor than Ebba Sundstrom should be billed. As a compromise, they packed her off to Europe...
Your biting comments on Publisher Robert McCormick (TIME, Nov. 2) may be entirely in accord with the facts.

Attempting to avoid nothing, in fact, choosing if anything, the worst pieces of surface, I sailed down the middle of Bishop's Avenue hating the whole performance like poison, for I loathe so to treat a car . . . potholes a foot deep are everywhere. . . . Cars with orthodox springing, even of the best kind, shake the teeth in one's head as they pass over Bishop's Avenue. . . . Ghastly thuds sounded beneath...
...assembly jobs like axles, motors, transmissions. Notable have been the results. In 1934 at the bottom of the production curve when output was running about 20,000 cars per week, the industry was providing less than 8,500,000 man-hours of work per week. Last year the worst figure, when production was at almost the same level, was 12,000,000 man-hours per week. Total work provided by "banking" in the past motor year is estimated at 30,000,000 man-hours. The early show provided 50,000,000 man-hours. Of course, this was not additional work...
