...permitted to leak from, the Court of St. James's last week that "The King is furious." Never to date has the Sailor King seen why for the sake of some blackamoors his beloved war ships should be risked in the Mediterranean. The British Royal Family is on definitely friendly terms with the Italian Royal Family. As a friend, George V is stanch, and the salty admirals who are the King's cronies over late Scotch nightcaps have never considered the League worth a brave man's belch...
...nearer sections of the road leading to it. After all, that is the part that interests us most. . . . We need something better than leather, and a raincoat that lets body moisture out. We need road surfaces that will last at least a century and roofs that will never leak. We need a superconductor for electricity. We need artificial teeth that are as good as natural, . . . paper as permanent as parchment, fabrics and dyes that wind and sun cannot touch, a spring metal that will not fail with fatigue and rubber that will last a century. We need a satisfactory anesthetic...

Though the great expanses of glass that he favors may occasionally turn his rooms into hothouses, his flat roofs may leak and his plans may be wasteful of space, it was Architect Le Corbusier who in 1923 put the entire philosophy of modern architecture into a single sentence: "A house is a machine to live...
Like other recent Vice Presidents, John Garner was invited to attend Cabinet meetings. Unlike Messrs. Coolidge, Dawes and Curtis before him, he not only attended regularly, but spoke his mind forcefully. Such meetings are naturally as secret as they can be made. Hence only an occasional leak disclosed the part the red-faced, blue-eyed, white-haired Vice President played around the Cabinet table. Significant is the fact, however, that after one of his discourses Franklin Roosevelt, a great giver of nicknames, dubbed him "Mr. Commonsense." Significant, too, are the things the stubby little Texan is generally given credit...
