Visitors in the U. S. last week included:

Hohner of Hohner. "The expansion of the harmonica industry in modern imes has been in closely related ratio to be frequency and magnitude of modern wars." Thus postulated, at Manhattan ast week, Herr Doktor Will Hohner, on of him who founded the famed M. Hohner Harmonica Co. in 1856. Herr Doktor Hohner, who had just landed from he liner Berlin, continued: "Our factories at Trossingen in the Black Forest still employ twice as many workers as before he World War. . . . The Boer War was chief cause operating to produce the introduction of the harmonica into South Africa. . . . Japan might still be without he pleasures to be derived from the harmonica had it not been introduced there with a view to providing easily produced martial music in time of war."

Sokolov. Arrived at Manhattan last week on the S. S. President Harding, as the guest of the Rockefeller Institute was famed Russian cancer expert Dr. Boris Sokolov, now a professor at the University of Prague, Czechoslovakia. Said he: "Even Death should be thought of as a disease and not as something which is inevitable. Scientific and rational struggle against Death is the order of the day for the up-to-date biologist and doctor."

Mrs. Arturo Peralta Ramos, recently Countess Salm von Hoogstraeten, originally Miss Millicent Rogers of New York, famed heiress, returned to Manhattan, last week on the S. S. Western World, with her present Argentine husband after a brief honeymoon in South America. He, a warmly handsome and appetizing youth, will shortly settle down to toil as a member of J. P. Benkard & Co., Manhattan brokers.

"Tay Pay." Ensconced at the Hotel Ambassador, Manhattan, last week, was that genial Irish devotee of snuff, the Rt. Hon. Thomas Power O'Connor, famed "Father of the House of Commons," who arrived recently for a vacation in the U. S. (TIME, March 5).

To correspondents who questioned him about the British Board of Film Censors of which he has been chairman for 11 years (see COMMONWEALTH) he said: "First of all we tolerate no propaganda. . . . Secondly, we recently ruled against the Edith Cavell picture Dawn because it was too warlike. I am told it cost -L-35,000. It's not the war spirit that we want to foster but the spirit of peace. Thirdly, there is our attitude toward religious films. I may say that we would not have passed The King of Kings. The producer, probably surmising as much, did not submit it. The chief objection would have been against the idea of an actor impersonating the Founder of Christianity."
