Last week A. Atwater Kent, manufacturer of radio apparatus, proposed to substitute for the comic stripper's idea of Sunday night another vision-that of a smiling Mama, Papa, infant, listening to the sounds that issue from an Atwater Kent radio. And the sounds, too, would be different. In place of the comic stripper's unnamable babble, would ring the voices of Louise Homer, Anna Case, Edward Johnson, Mabel Garrison, Reinald Werrenrath, Frieda Hempel, the instruments of Toscha Seidel, Mischa Levitzki, the New York State Symphony Orchestra. These artists have already been engaged. Mr. Kent will pay them...

Four golden years confront him--years embellished in his imagination with the gilt and tinsel trappings gleaned from books on college life. And out of the brightness of the vision emerges a youth in cap and gown, a hale of glory about his head, a scroll of parchment in his hand.

Garey, with "important changes" in pedagogical policies, doubtless some of the very changes that precipitated Dr. Meikle John's fracas...
...that he meant the parts of that curious taxicab of the soul, the human body. He foresaw the day, he intimated, when parts would be obtainable at standard prices from agencies in most large towns and service stations along the highways. In the minds of his listeners arose the vision of hilarious advertisements offering for rent quaint objects "slightly used but still in good condition," putting up for sale parts "for which the owners had no further use"; of parts which might be exchanged for other parts...
...when the world was rolling in the pangs of its worst anguish before giving birth to a red and painful peace, Dr. Soderblom, Archbishop of Upsala, dreamed that the churches, like the nations, might meet at a conference table. He began to make plans. Last week his labor and vision were consummated. The Universal Christian Conference on Life and Work began its first session in Stockholm, Sweden...
