...whole stress was on building, expansion and quantity (rather than quality) is now definitely over. Russia has entered a less exuberant phase in which she must nurse her railways and try to make her plants efficient. Blatant "drivers" like Big Bill are giving place to quiet specialists. After the shake-up last week Premier Molotov of the Soviet Union signed a decree to encourage all Russia's railway workers by granting them an increased food supply...
...drag your bait before the fish. As in bass fishing, it is ruinous to try to set your hook at. the first strike or when the fish is pointed toward you (it would fly out of his mouth).

Host & Hostess. At Swarthmore this week many a Rhodesman would hasten to shake the hand of Sir Francis Wylie. He, a wrinkled onetime philosophy don, never forgets the name, college and home town of a Rhodes Scholar. Once he presented 250 Rhodesmen to Edward of Wales, remembered them all. Lady Wylie always presided at tea, had every Scholar to dinner once a year. Sir Francis, wise and tactful, was knighted in 1929 for his Rhodes work. In 1931 the current crop of Rhodesmen gave the Wylies a silver salver, a scroll, a dining room suite...
