...half lines to what might turn out to be the greatest mystery since "somebody hit Billy Patterson!" Here's "egg" in your eye for bigger and better mysteries! WILLIAM G. TARRANT JR. Richmond, Va. About one-hole eggs there is no mystery. All expert oölogists blow their eggs with a fine silver tube inserted through one hole drilled in the shell. Pressure of air blown in forces the egg's contents out of the hole. If incubation has begun, fine scissors are used to hash the embryo so it will pass out. - ED. Guggenheims & Robber Barons...
...rolling baritone of Camillien Houde, talking or singing, is a big thing in Montreal. It made a bombastic, short, 200-lb. French-Canadian a Quebec Province assemblyman at 33, mayor of Montreal at 39. But, like the frog that tried to blow himself up into a bull, Camillien Houde burst himself when he tried to become Premier of the Province three years ago.

If airmail carriers had played a crooked game with President Hoover's Postmaster General Brown, they had only followed rules laid down by him as the umpire. It seemed fair enough to change...
American the ballet was in theme rather than execution. The theme was the construction of the two railroads, the Union and the Central Pacific, which Leland Stanford's ill-aimed blow symbolically joined together. But both music and choreography-breath and flesh of any ballet-were the work of Russians: the music of Nicholas Nabokov, 31-year-old composer of Alsace and Paris; the choreography of Leonide Massine, 36-year-old master of the present Russian ballet. Only the libretto by Archibald MacLeish, the stage sets by Albert Johnson (The Band Wagon, As Thousands Cheer) and the costumes...
