He had gone through one Current Opinion without finding the photograph. He glanced at Glinda. She was still working with her documents and messages and did not seem disturbed that he had taken so much time with the periodical. He picked up the April 1921 issue.
NERVE EXHAUSTION How We Become Shell-Shocked In Everyday Life
Must We Fight Japan? by Walter B. Pitkin (Century), is hailed in the New York Times as the most deeply searching and widely ranging study of the Japanese question in its relation to America that has yet been made. Mr.'Pitkin is an associate professor in the Pulitzer School of Journalism, Columbia University. He spent several months of 1920 in California.

JURYWOMEN AND MODESTY SHOULD WOMEN SERVE AS JURORS IN DIVORCE CASES?
In England this whole matter has been widely discussed as a result of a recent disagreeable case in the London Divorce Court. Women were sitting in this Court for the first time. Part of the evidence was in the form of indecent photographs. The Judge was unwilling that the photographs should be shown to the women and suggested that the jurymen should look at the photographs and explain to the women as they thought fit the bearing of this evidence on the case.
EXCESS OF THE SEX-FACTOR IN FREUD'S METHODS
A NEW MENACE IS BOLSHEVISM GETTING A GRIP ON THE CHURCHES?
Principles of Freedom, by Terence MacSwin-ey, late Lord Mayor of Cork (Dutton), is the self-revelation of a man who died for his beliefs. ... An "illuminating document, revealing the mentality of the Sinn Fein rank and file." is what Mr. Boyd, himself an Irishman, calls this book. It has one single preoccupation, the independence of Ireland from England.
Experts are found who argue that one impression of cancer which had fallen into discredit may have to be revived and examined afresh. This is the notion, prevalent among the laity in some places, that an old house overrun by rats is a spreading center for cancer.
SIGNIFICANT SAYINGS
"My advice to men who cannot stand the sight of the loving meetings of minds and eyes—and in some cases lips—on a Fifth Avenue bus is to ride in the subway. Let the spooners spoon." —Sheriff Knott, N. Y. City.
"As a member of the male sex, I protest indignantly against the conclusion that all men are familiar with abominable things, and my sensibilities are less delicate than women's." —G. Bernard Shaw.
The Sick World and the Shoplifter
The rabid determination of partizan politicians not to allow the United States to enter into any agreement with the rest of the world to stop war, the outbreaks of violence among the criminal classes, the determined efforts of the liquor interests to nullify the constitutional Prohibition amendment, the depression in business, the increase of unemployment, the strenuous effort of the agitators to make trouble between this country and Great Britain on one side and Japan on the other, all may be grouped with this pathetic spectacle of respectable women turned shoplifters as an indication of that other moral slump from idealism.
"Here it is, page 434," Hank said.
Glinda put her pen aside and took the periodical. Hank came around the desk to stand behind her.
"That's President Harding, sitting in the front row, third from the right."
"A handsome but weak man," Glinda said. "He's not as honest as you said."
"How can you tell?" Hank said.
Glinda did not reply. Instead, she pointed to Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover, the Vice President and the Secretary of Commerce, respectively.
"These men should succeed this Harding in office, though in what order I don't know."
She pointed to Denby, Fall, and Daugherty, Secretary of the Navy, Secretary of the Interior, and Attorney General, respectively.
"Except for this one, these men will be disgraced or at least should be."
She indicated Denby.
"He is probably innocent, but he will be disgraced, too."
"Are you telling me that you can determine all that just from their photographs?" Hank said.
"I'm telling you nothing except what I just said."
Having picked up a large paper, she unfolded it and spread it out on the desk. Hank was astonished again. It was a map of the United States of America.
"I took this when I left the letter for the Signal Corps," she said.
"Now, just where is San Francisco on this map?"
Hank put a finger on the city.
"Just where is the green cloud in relation to the map?"
Hank indicated Fort Leavenworth.
"Have you ever been to this Palace Hotel your friend spoke of?"
"Once," Hank said. "When I was sixteen."
"Describe its location as best you can. I want all the details you can recall. And then draw a map for me."
What is she up to? Hank thought.
When he was through, he handed the paper to her.
"Good. Do you have any metal fillings in your teeth or fixed bridges?"
Hank said, slowly, "No."
"Good! Hank, would you like to go with me tonight?"
"Where?"
"To the Palace Hotel."
"Wha...? I mean, you mean it?"
"It's possible that we may not get there. But I'll be trying very hard, and if all goes well, we'll get there."
"How?"
"That doesn't matter as far as you're concerned."
"Are you planning to harm the President?"
"No. I will be honest with you, though. What I do may be interpreted as harm to your President. It will be necessary, however."
"I'm your man."
"I'm not finished. Wait until I'm through. You may be in grave danger if you go with me. There is always the chance that we could get lost. Or encounter something that might destroy us. I'll explain what might happen in detail."
When she had done so, she said, "I would not blame you at all if you refused. In fact, I am beginning to regret now that I did ask you to come with me. The reason I did is that I want you to be able to report to your people exactly what happened. If that, with what I plan to do, does not convince them, then they are fools."
"You think they'll be so scared they'll lock up the gate to this world and throw away the key?"
