...excuse Venizelos, "Father of the Greek Republic," gave for his rebellion was that Premier Tsaldaris was plotting to restore Greece's King George II to the throne. An obstacle to any such plot was Tsaldaris' War Minister General George Kondylis, who once said, "King George will return over my dead body." Last week, at the instigation of Premier Tsaldaris who was ill with kidney trouble, Kondylis announced that the Government is willing to let the Greek people vote on whether they want a republic or a monarchy. Greek politicians hastened to climb on the monarchist bandwagon. And George...
...Louis Otto Kunkel to be carried from plant to plant by a small insect called the leafhopper. Dr. Kunkel also discovered that the leafhopper very rarely flew more than three or four feet above the earth. Obvious leafhopper foil: a 4-ft. screen fence. In early autumn a plot of asters thus protected was only 20% diseased whereas 80% of the flowers just outside the fence were damaged. Last week Dr. Kunkel, now on the Rockefeller Institute staff, reported to a meeting of bacteriologists, pathologists and immunologists in Manhattan that plants which recover from mosaic disease are thenceforth immune just...

Better still, arrive after the one, and just before the other...
...wealthiest group of students at Harvard. Neither of these proposals should be considered seriously. It is as important to recognize the position of a minority on this point as it would be on the most burning social question. Nor should the wealth of the Club men spin the plot. If they oat seven or fourteen meals per week in the House dining-rooms they should pay a rate representing as nearly as possible what such a number of meals is worth...
