...more unfortunate that the College Library should have to pay a penalty for its liberality. By leaving so many books on open shelves in its reading rooms, by not employing more hawk-eyed attendants, and by permitting even comparatively rare books to be taken from the Library. Widener loses thousands of dollars. This in itself is bad enough, but when it be considered that no amount of money will replace many of the books, out of print or for other reasons unobtainable, the annual loss becomes appalling.

His popularity might distress a less determined man, for besides him the Senate numbers just 48 Republicans (nominally) and 47 Democrats.

Falcons nested in his tower of "hawk-perch" stones. Some years ago he offered Tamar and Other Poems to Manhattan publishers but only an obscure Irish printer, Peter G. Boyle, would risk handling such inflammable material as a tragedy of incest (TIME, March 30, 1925). Reviews soon brought him to a notice for which he has small regard but which must become, despite the book world's busy piddlings, nationwide and perpetual...
