...rests on your decision." Such was the climax of a great speech in the Chamber of Deputies last week-a speech that came in compact, persuasive phrases from Premier Raymond Poincaré. At 66 and long since a greybeard, he retains in debate the vigor and combative strength of youth. Last week, in his secondary role of Finance Minister, M. Poincaré was defending his latest budget against the tacking on of a ruinously costly amendment to increase the salaries of all civil servants retroactively from August, 1926. Because civil employes are excessively numerous and vote-potent in France, many...

Then Kent nosed ahead. Jack Beresford quickly raised the stroke in the Thames Club boat. By a quarter of a length, the Thames Club won that race; later, by wider...
...results are only partially manifest. To many young people what used to be considered lapses from the moral code, are now considered to be acts which are as natural as eating and drinking. Indeed, youth often decides on the basis of expediency or worthwhileness, whether sexual intercourse should be indulged in, never thinking of any after effects, because they believe there will be none. They see no harm in it-science will protect them; and science generally does. . . . Whatever we may think of such conduct, the thing for us to notice is that it does exist, and that largely because...
