Sirs: Now that the NRA bird, eagle or hawk (TIME, July 31) spreads its protective wings over U. S. workers, household servants excepted, many thousands of us (I am not acquainted with the statistics in regard to the number of persons employed in domestic service) shall continue to work from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. or later when guests are entertained, often on 24-hour duly when there are children or others who cannot be left alone, with one weekly day off-after the work is done and dinner prepared -for "wages" which range from $15 per week...
...pinks and blues. Frills and furbelows on skirts pop out in ruffled peplums and billowy bustles. ¶ Fripperies to complete the rich elegance of "Edwardian and earlier" include cameo brooches, heavy rhinestone trinkets, voluptuous oversize imitation pearls, exotic velvet shoulder flowers for evening and feathers of all kinds- ostrich, bird and barnyard - on boas, capes, muffs and epaulets which are snap-fastened to evening frocks. ¶ Hats concede only their trimmings (fur & feathers) to the Mae West furor and are mostly peaked berets, low-crowned sailors, draped turbans.

...beasts. Of all the mouse autopsies she has performed, about 15,000 were cancerous mice, but only about 25 had intestinal tumors. The difference probably lies in the diet. For long years her mice received the same diet (mostly fresh bread, twice-pasteurized whole milk, timothy hay and bird seed). Thus most of their cancers came from irritations, cage-rubbing, fights, minor infections. This does not disprove her heredity theory, for the cancers occur only in the susceptible animals. Lately she has been working on mice fed diets comparable to the varied diets of human beings...
