German Republic. The Centre-Right Cabinet of Chancellor Wilhelm Marx is founded upon a perhaps not unshakable rock ballast of coalition support, but the German Republic has long gone forward, irrespective of cabinet changes, under four perennial leaders: 1) Revered, monolithic President Paul von Hindenburg contributes to the State stability and prestige; 2) "The German Lloyd George," Dr. Gustav Stresemann, continues as Foreign Minister in cabinet after cabinet and negotiates ceaselessly among the former enemy powers from whom he has filched many a concession; 3) stern, able Defense Minister Otto Gessler is even more a fixture at his post than...
Elsic Soughvitz of Little Rock, Ark., writes in that she is eligible for membership in the Faery Queen Club.

To alumni a legend of competence, to faculty members a jovial rock of propriety, to students a genial but unyielding tyrant, he had spent 54 years of his life upon the campus of the College of the City of New York. As his father had done when Michael Bonney was only a small, destructive hobbledehoy, he gave his time to tidying bedrooms and fixing...
Some deposits which are apparently rich and deep prove to be only a thin layer of profitable ore over worthless rock. Electrical instruments are being devised to register not only the presence of metals, but the extent of the ore pocket, and so prevent wasted efforts. Metals have a decided influence upon delicate electrical mechanism, and the various effects of each metal give a key to the nature of the concealed deposit...
