...codes of service industries. Next day General Johnson promptly performed the permitted operation on seven codes: 1) cleaning & dyeing; 2) automobile storage and parking; 3) barbers: 4) bowling and billiards; 5) shoe rebuilding; 6) advertising display installations: 7) advertising distribution. This stripped these codes to the bare bone of wage, hour, child labor, and collective bargaining clauses which service industries must still obey. Local groups may write prices back into their local codes provided 85% of their members agree, but no longer will NRA headquarters try to set the price of pressing a pair of pants in Bangor, Dallas...

In some ships the meat is canned (largely for Japanese consumption) and what scraps remain are ground or burned for fertilizer. For "whalebone," which is not bone but gargantuan mouth bristles, there is now almost no market...

The fact that the participants in Thursday's brawl did not distinguish the particular bone they proposed to pick with the cruiser's crew, although we presume it had something to do with the curbing of personal liberty in Germany, reduced their fracas to the ignominy of childish "bull" baiting. The astuteness of the police in parking their pistols and resorting to skull crunching left their opponents without even the satisfaction...
...notable feature of Florida, and one which last week threw important, bone-mending Dr. Fred Houdlett Albee into trouble with Manhattan doctors, is the shuffle of decrepit northerners through the State. St. Petersburg is full of garrulous oldsters who all day long wander from bench to bench recounting their symptoms. Miami streets are punctuated with the homes of colonic irrigators. Open air evangelists place ramps at curbs so that the palsied and the gouty can comfortably trundle their wheelchairs towards sanctity and health...
...only as on historical paradox. Even those of us who lost relatives in that futile struggle have long since ceased to nurse any rancour, other than that arising from the misery and despair we see all round us, for which we must hold our elders responsible. We have no bone to pick with other peoples, so long as they let us live our lives in peace...
