...vice president and advertising manager of TIME. Mr. Earle, who was President Roosevelt's Minister to Austria before resigning to enter the Pennsylvania campaign, first met Adman Johnson last summer on a transatlantic crossing. The Governor-elect last week explained his choice on the ground that the campaign had bred so much bad feeling within Pennsylvania that he was going outside the State to pick a neutral and non-partisan Relief Administrator.

A few years before, a white-bearded Scottish landowner named William McCombie had, by a process of delicate selectivity, developed the short-legged, short-necked, squat, hornless, sleek-black creatures.

Yugoslavia is a country half as large as France. Within its borders the World War was started, regicides are bred, opium is produced and the best wild boar shooting in Europe is found. The world of art knows just one Yugoslav name-Ivan Mestrovic, one of the greatest living sculptors. Last week Mrs. Marie Sterner Lintott, a talented ferret among modern artists, discovered another, Maximilian Vanka. At her Manhattan gallery she put on view 15 darkly colorful Vanka canvases...
