Adjutant William B. Plews of the Volunteers of America (Salvation Army offshoot) was once a vaudeville magician called "William the Great." For the last nine years he has been preaching in his spare time, without much success. Last week, in Rochester, N. Y., his announcement that he would perform tricks (to help religion meet "pretty bad modern competition") filled his Volunteers chapel. Adjutant Plews's first stunt was to impersonate St. Paul in prison at Philippi, in padlocked chains and an unscriptural mail-sack. He prayed for God's aid, escaped in a couple of minutes from...

Last week Dr. Compton embarked upon further, and wider, institutional activities. He accepted the Protestant chairmanship of the National Conference...
...years ago a young sculptor named Michael Francis Lantz made himself a "very satisfactory" studio in New Rochelle, N. Y. He built a skylight into an abandoned pumping station, for which he paid $10 rent a month. Last week Sculptor Lantz was afraid his rent was going to be raised, because he had just won the biggest commission ever awarded by the Treasury Department's Section of Painting & Sculpture -$45,600 for two heroic stone figures to be placed on the terrace of Washington's new "Apex" building, into which the Federal Trade Commission will move...
