...Home Abroad. Last autumn Frank Buchman held a swank revival meeting in Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera House, featuring a prize European convert, President Carl J. Hambro of the Norwegian Storting (Parliament). Last winter he and some of his young men sunned themselves in Miami. An active Group headquarters is maintained at Manhattan's Calvary Episcopal Church (cable address: Apostolic). Not a few U. S. socialites have rallied to the faith of God the Millionaire to make the pleasurable discovery that if their servants were "changed," too, they became much more pleasant and effective. Nevertheless. Pennsylvania's Frank...
...good, it will prevail. But I don't know what Social Credit is. I may be dense." That was the way Alberta's bondholders felt when, on the heels of the default, Premier Aberhart rushed through its first two readings a bill enabling his government to convert its entire $160,000,000 indebtedness into a non-maturing stock issue paying 2½% interest. Best financial thought on this maneuver considered it a newfangled way to scare investors silly, then offer to refinance their holdings at reduced interest rates.

Mistress of a popular Paris salon, Mme Cuttoli found it easy to reach her painters, hard to convince them that their fluid daubings could be fittingly reproduced in silk and wool.

The Holy See and its Apostolic Delegate in the U. S., however, do things in their own way. Last week was announced the appointment to the Washington post of Monsignor Joseph M. Corrigan, 56, rector since...
Revealed for the first time last week. Phillips' income statements clearly registered the rise of 5? soups in the past two years. Sales climbed from $5,800,000 in 1933 to more than $9,000,000 in 1935. But Colonel Phillips was not able to convert much of that gain into profits. They rose only about $123,000 above the $605,000 reported in 1933. Gross margin of profit increased, but overhead and selling expenses nearly doubled, presumably because of 5? soups...
