...museum, "Maryhill" which provides the technical reason for her visit to the U. S. Seventy minutes after she landed at the Battery, Queen Marie and her party left Manhattan for Washington. On the way from the City Hall to the Pennsylvania Station the crowds became so unmanageable that the royal party was forced to enter the station by a side door and descend to the train in a freight elevator. A six-hour run brought Her Majesty to Washington where she was greeted at the station by Secretary of State and Mrs. Kellogg. Proceeding to the Rumanian Legation, Her Majesty...
...others acquiesced. Last week, in London, Artist Frank Brangwyn continued with his plans, imperturbed. From a U. S. revue appearing at the London Pavilion, he selected Negro show girls as the models for the panels he is designing for the War memorial of the House of Lords in the Royal Gallery.

Dr. Bundeson dramatizes himself even to the extent of being "funny" (TIME, June 21). No less sincere and industrious, although less efficacious than Dr. Bundeson and Dr. Nicoll, are the host of other public health officials in the U. S. Every state, every large city, practically every town has its health commission or health officer. There may be a lone, overworked, always altruistic doctor...
Juarez and Maximilian. History mentions one Maximilian, a Habsburg, appointed Emperor of Mexico by Napoleon Bonaparte; records a successful revolution led by Juarez, the untimely defection of Napoleon's troops, execution of Maximilian. More colorful chronicles relate that Maximilian's proud empress, failing to obtain aid from royal kin in Europe, became insane, another victim of the "curse of the Habsburgs," which has bloodied every generation of that ill-starred line with murder and violence...
