THOMAS PAINE. "Oh what fun it is to be a rebel," says Mr. Bradford. Paine "was a commonplace rebel, entirely practical." Not educated, not a deep thinker, lacking humor, but a master of burning words with a splendid ardor for democratic ideals. Mr. Bradford sums up the case for Paine and his detractors: "Here is a man who upset the world and you say he did not brush his clothes...

Cancer is confined largely to middle life and old age, and is higher in the northern than the southern states, although this is not due to the race factor. Cancer is curable-if taken in time.

The secret, incessant clash of these personalities, now and then flaring out into active conflict as abrupt as the glitter of lightning, serves...
...with a compass as their sole guide. Crossing Arizona in the morning and flying low to get their bearings anew, they piloted their Fokker T-2 in a country of forests, ravines and canyons, treacherous air currents, and at one point flew most dangerously between the walls of a deep canyon. Yet they pronounced their flight " humdrum," and landed in perfect condition-except for hearing slightly affected by the continuous roar of the motor...
