...concern was to pass eleven bulky bills appropriating some four billion dollars on which to run the Government during fiscal 1934. Unless these are all enacted before March 4 a special session of the 73rd Congress is inevitable. Later the House will vote on a beer bill and perhaps knock together a special revenue measure to balance the Budget. If it gets that much done in the next two and one-half months it will pat itself on the back and think it has established a "lame duck" record...
After reading your magazine a year, I want to inform you, gentlemen, that I'm about ready for a psychopathic specialist. All I can think of, and all I can see, are people who are pigeontoed, knock-kneed, potbellied, big-chinned, beak-nosed, toe-headed, frog-headed, pinheaded, mouse-faced, horse-faced, hawk-faced, hatchet-faced, and Huey-long-faced.

Good shot: an addled headed wrestler (Warren Hymer) training in a gymnasium which...
...workers battled with bottles. In London a smart Bobby dodged a bottle-blow, let it knock out Out-of-Worker James Cunningham. Into the breach as James Cunningham went down stepped Rev. J. C. Putterill, prominent social reformer. "Come on men!" he roared and led 3,000 jobless on a window-smashing spree through the London district of Stratford...
