Said New York's Mayor Walker: "If we had a few more Lewisohns and a few less grouches in this city it would be even a happier place." Occasion: a testimonial concert at Hunter College to Adolph Lewisohn, famed philanthropist and music patron. In the course of eulogies of Mr. Lewisohn by Lieut.-Governor Herbert H. Lehman, Lawyer George Gordon Battle et al., it was revealed that a chamber music foundation is being planned by a group of patrons headed by Mr. Lewisohn and including Clarence Hungerford Mackay, Otto Hermann Kahn, Theodore Steinway. Patron Lewisohn declared that he "would like to see a more general interest in music . . . more glee clubs and more music in homes." At 80 he is taking vocal lessons, loves to gather his family about him to sing old Hebrew melodies of which he knows by memory an enormous number. He did not sing at the testimonial concept.

The Satin Slipper, "a, poetic drama of human destiny and spiritual salvation" by Poet Paul Claudel, French Ambassador to the U. S., was published by Yale University Press. Excerpts from the preface: "Ideas from one end of the world to the other are catching fire like stubble. From Thames to Tiber is heard a great clatter of arms and of hammers in the shipyards. The sea is at one stroke covered with white poppies, the night is plastered all over with Greek letters and algebraic signs. There's dark America yonder like a whale bubbling out of the Ocean! Hark! Howling Asia feels a new god leaping in her womb!"

In a Chicago hospital John Borden,

rich stockbroker, explorer, sportsman, cheerfully related how a buck deer had gored his left leg, ripping a muscle from the bone. Sportsman Borden, wife and guests were quail-hunting on Glenwild Plantation, Grenada, Miss, when he saw one of a pair of supposedly tame deer eating shrubbery near the house. When Mr. Borden ran to "shoo" him away the buck charged. Then: "I grabbed his horns as he drove me back against a wall. The fellow was strong enough to wriggle around in my grip and jab me through the leg. I held on and threw him down and sat on him until help arrived. That's all there was to it." Ill lay: U. S.
