Senator Pat Harrison (Democrat) leaped to his feet, last week, and electrified his Senatorial peers. Not since the green legal shingle of young lawyer Pat swung in the breeze at Leakesville, Miss., has he spoken with more vigorous abandon. He flayed the Administration for what he called its "dark lantern diplomacy." He referred slightingly to President Coolidge as "Careful Cal."

Quetzalcoatl, the bird-snake, is come again from "the cave which is called the Dark Eye, behind the sun," where the waters rise and the winds are borne on the waters of the afterlife.
