Also, as usual, against brevity. Speculation differs from Investment as fishing differs from buying boneless cod. Nowadays the house divided against Itself becomes a kitchenette apartment. It Is not merely higher rents, but higher death rates from the overcrowding. A worn-out furnace, half cleaned, makes a costly combination with lowgrade ceal. Minister says jazz sets Indians wild. Which proves Indians are much like other people. 1 About the wclcomcst sound In the vwrld will be the sound of the builder's hammer. The Iflltisli war ofTicc has nothing on ours in notifying living ex-soldiers-they are dead. Nations throughout the world seem ir.ore ready to throw down their toolj than their arms. As a professional definition, has 'psycho-motor excitation" the punch of "brainstorm?" If Kaiser Hill cuts his clothes to fit the world's opinion of him. lie's not using up much cloth.

A film manager says that within ten years people will pay $o a seat for pictures. This is a ray of sun shine in an atmosphere of threatened hard times. Plcthmarfes are forbidden entrance to Turkey because the sultan Is usual ly mentioned in stich books, and that Is contrary to Turkish law.
