...proceedings by which this was accomplished were studiously devoid of drama. The Council learned last March that the world cannot be let in on the rivalries of nations for permanent Council seats without disastrous results. At that time the demands of Spain, Poland and Brazil for permanent seats led to the scandalous break up of a League session especially called to admit Germany to the League (TIME, March 15 et seq.). Last week the Council session at which this great misfortune was righted, seemed almost drowsy...
Under this formula the Assembly can salve the wounded pride of Spain by awarding to that country one of the new re-electable or semi-permanent seats. Brazil who has served notice of withdrawal from the League (TIME, June 21) may be tempted back by a similar plum. Poland will assumedly not be forgotten, as the dependent ally of potent France.

...captures. From East Africa, Dr. William M. Mann in command of the Smithsonian-Chrysler expedition to restock the National Zoo at Washington (TIME, Mar. 8), wrote that he had in custody a dik-dik-pigmy antelope, standing but 15 inches high. Also, a pigmy mouse-bumble-bee size. From Brazil, George K. Cherrie in command of the Field Museum's expedition (which includes Mrs. Marshall Field, Mrs. Grace Thompson Seton-TIME, July 5) announced that a wolf-spider had been taken, so enormous that it could capture and devour small birds. The hunters, of whom Mrs. Field...
