Several correspondents have urged us to make a final appeal to the faculty, or a systematic attack on the janitor, for more heat and less darkness in the chapel. It is, unfortunately, too early to insert our stereotyped editorial on heating the chapel, as there is a rule of the paper which forbids its use oftener than once a month. We, therefore, pass over tre old grievance at this time, and turn to the new complaint which has been made. The chapel, it is said, is too dark to allow the reading of the psalms without injury to the eyes...
...pesos, of which 6,500,000 had been loaned to 1,200 peasant organizations at 8% by last week; 2) the spending of 15% of the Federal Government's budgetary outgo for education and 3.4% for public health; 3) reform of the Labor Code to insert social insurance in addition to the minimum wage recently decreed throughout Mexico of 1¼ pesos (42?) per day. Of this sum the National Revolutionary Party is proud, considering that peons by the million have long grubbed for less. To enforce even a 42? minimum will be for President Cárdenas...
...Divorcee (RKO). In adapting the successful musicomedy which kept Dancer Fred Astaire busy for a year in Manhattan and London, RKO's most apparent change was to insert an accent and an extra e in the last word of the title.

Smalltime lead-pencil makers generally retail their product under 5?. Most popular color for lead-pencils is yellow. Big pencil manufacturers inserted in their code a provision prohibiting the manufacture of yellow pencils to be sold below 5?. All coffee roasters insert "filler" into their packaged products. Big producers use chicory. Little producers use roasted cereals. The coffee code specifies that when cereal is used for filler the package must be so labeled...
...convicted in Federal court of sending defamatory matter through the mails, he was fined $500, sentenced to a year and a day in the Leavenworth Penitentiary. In Washington, where he has made much radical noise, Representative Shoemaker is shamelessly proud of his prison sentence. He tried unsuccessfully to insert in his Congressional Directory biography: "The first man straight from prison to Congress, instead of from Congress to prison." When he was swept into office in 1932 by 317 votes, he promptly arranged to have special automobile license plates struck bearing his prison number: "38163." Last July President Roosevelt pardoned...
