Franklin Roosevelt is by no means an exception to the rule that a U. S. President, like plain citizens, needs an occasional friendly cheer to lift and reassure his spirits. No more is he an exception to the rule that a President also needs a friend with the gumption to remind him that he cannot always be right, offer sympathetic but searching criticism of his plans and purposes, occasionally say "no" to his bright inspirations. More impulsive than most, Franklin Roosevelt had such a salutary intimate in the late Louis McHenry Howe. Since that devoted little secretary took...
...picked by a scout for Educational Pictures. Her professional career started with a role in Baby Burlesks. Encouraged, Mrs. Temple worked hard submitting Shirley to all studios reported needing children. In 1934 she was cast to sing "Baby Take a Bow" in Fox's Stand Up and Cheer (TIME, April 30, 1934). The picture was feeble but Shirley was a hit. Hollywood distrusts infant performers. They are likely to be greedy, temperamental, slow to learn and quick to outlive their value.

The conscription bill passed unanimously, with excited deputies standing up on their chairs to cheer. All that the bill actually stipulated was: "Any Austrian may be called upon to serve the Fatherland, with or without arms, according to his physical and spiritual capacity." What the bill evidently meant was that some 1,500,000 men aged 18 to 42 were made eligible to conscription either in labor battalions...
...American Airways has hired Ketcham to decorate the interiors of the Clippers now being built for the South American and Pacific runs. He is proceeding on the theory that certain colors are conducive to nausea, while others breed "confidence and cheer." Cheerful green is the keynote for furniture, sheets and blankets. Mr. Ketcham advises airlines not to serve coffee or mayonnaise, on the ground that yellow and coffee colors offend stomachs already quivering from rough...
