THERE CAN be little doubt that the most damaging

evidence of the conspiratorial character of the American Communist party ever put on paper has been produced by Louis F. Budenz in “This Is My Story.” Mr. Budenz joined the party in 1935 after c considerable

NOBODY has to be told that dogs have personality. Not many of us. however, come across so many and varied canine personalities as are described in Eldon Roark’s “Just a Mutt,” a collection of true stories about dogs.

We don’t expect so much of mutts as we do of tutored, purebred, aristocratic dogs; so when they do something clever, smart or courageous, they make better stories.” There's - Bosco, collie-spitz combination, who found his way home from Glendale, Cal, to Knoxville, Tenn.

She divorces Harrison Vilas, maneuvers Herbert into a completely disastrous marriage. For Herbert soon discovers that he has married not Just. a wife, and a harridan at that, but also a family. Anne's three children, two of them worse than worthless, follow the Crumps everywhere, clamoring for help, shelter and money. Before Herbert married her, Anne had seemed at first sensitive, fastidious, a sweet, gentle creature who tolerated with humorous melancholy the indignities she said Harrison Vilas heaped on her. Not long after the marriage, Anne lazily drops the pretenses of neatness and refinement. She becomes slatternly and shrewish. She pokes her nose into Herbert's concerns, embarrasses him socially, watches him with ulcerative jealOusy. When he spends more and more time away from home, she has him followed by detectives, using his money fOF the purpose.
