...Singer. Poor girls who work hard, live right, do not always develop into great singers. Marion Talley disappointed. So did Mary Lewis, Grace Moore. But Clara Jacobo promises better things. She has at least, contrary to her predecessors, a mighty voice that fills the far crannies of the opera house. She has had operatic experience, sings and moves with an assurance that projects over the footlights. Her first Leonora quavered occasionally, strayed a bit from the pitch but critics took it all kindly, as part of a debut performance, voted her a useful addition to the Metropolitan roster...
Just how Coach Horween will fit either of these men into his backfield is a matter of doubt. It has been suggested that Gilligan may replace W.R. Harper '30 at fullback. The former is efficient behind the line on the defense and, with a little more grooming, should develop into a versatile back. Another possibility is the substitution of a passer for the quarterback, and the assignment of Captain A.E. French '29 to the signal caller's post. Whatever combination may be evolved, it will receive an excellent test under fire against the Holy Cross invaders, very strong defensive players...
Scanners of the treaty thought it a slender theme for the exercise of Mr. Lee's imposing talents.

...Virginia and North Carolina, fruitful Florida, vast Texas. The Hoover-Smith ratio of popular votes, 17 to 12, was smaller than the Harding-Cox (16 to 9) or the Coolidge-Davis-LaFollette (15 to 8 to 5) but the electoral margin was such as to suggest that unless issues develop to split the Republican Party within itself during the next four years, the re-election of 1932 might as well be a perfunctory one-party affair, to save public bother and private expense. With a Republican Congress, an efficient nationwide party organization, good times and peaceful problems to start...
Doctors hope to keep pneumonia low this year. Their best advice is to guard against common colds. If colds develop, the patient should rest in bed and eat nourishing foods. If pneumonia develops, alert doctors this year have a new serum to use. Old ones required three injections to cure. The new one, announced last week by Dr. William Hallock Park of New York City's health department, the man who has done so much bacteriological work to prevent disease, requires but two injections. Its supply so far is scant. Not until December will there be enough...
