The nation mourns Albert C. Ritchie, Maryland governor and national voice who stood for sanity and responsibility in government. He opposed Prohibition early, helped shape a repeal plank in 1932, and challenged New Deal economics. His sudden death is a public calamity and a loss to public life.
The piece ridicules a six item questionnaire from Senator Black's committee on lobbying and dissent against the New Deal. It mockingly suggests extreme interrogatories probing citizenship, liberty, hats, taxes, and business, calling the Raw Deal snipers and snoopers.
A historic announcement describes a novel surgical method for removing gallstones and the gallbladder. The procedure claims fewer complications and shorter hospital stays, with prevailing belief that gallstones arise from infection, metabolism, or dietary factors and vary by age and complexion.
By Royal S Copeland M D describes symptoms of gallstone attacks including right shoulder pain and vomiting. He warns home remedies and pills do not cure, noting that permanent cure requires surgical removal or drainage of the gall bladder. Delays risk gall bladder rupture and emergency surgery may be needed.
A 1935 note reports Justice Line Fa Tiler, president of the Fiesta Fourth Court of Civil Appeals, announcing a merger of the burlesque parade and the nations parade for this year’s Fi esta celebration. Hy Swearingen, San Antonio attorney, accepted appointment from Governor Fergus Pope Benedict XV. A cablegram states Rev. Bishop W. Shaw, head of the San Antonio Catholic diocese, was named bishop assistant at the pontifical throne.
A Washington observer notes how modern lobbyists employ new methods and younger operatives to influence Congress. He cites coaching by intermediaries, psychological ploys, and selective targeting of members, especially amid election pressures and expanding advocacy groups.
A longtime playwright Owen Davis is praised as versatile and plainspoken with a career spanning stage, films, and collaborations. The piece surveys Broadway figures from George Jean Nathan to Lillian Gish and lists notable theater couples and public pairings, including the Astaires, De Marcos, and Woollcott with McMein among others, with barbed commentary on rivalries and private dynamics.
A diaristic reflection from Elsie on a San Francisco balcony Scene shifts from weary routine to a transformative vision as the hill and city fade into a luminous display. The author describes a sudden, sacred radiance that redefines life, purpose, and human courage.
A jumble of aphorisms and misquoted lines appears to mix religious, literary, and moral maxims. It cites Cardinal Pole, Shakespeare, Fuller, and Whately in a disjointed collection about ignorance, honesty, age, and satire, with garbled phrases and corrupted words throughout.
