1921Year WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.--The treaty of peace between Germany and the United States, negotiated at Berlin between representatives of the two Governments, was made public at 9:25 o'clock tonight at the State Department by Secretary Hughes, after he had been advised that the document had been signed at 5 o'clock this afternoon (Berlin time).

1936Year All unbeknownst to most of us, a saga is being written on celluloid. The Hopalong Cassidy series is its name and we have been hearing for months about the wide swath it has been cutting on juvenile row. Not knowing Hopalong is just about as bad as not knowing Terry and the Pirates or Buck Rogers or Jimmy Allen. It unfits you for association with your juniors. They regard you with mingled scorn and pity if you admit that you have never heard of him or it, or whatever this Hopalong represents.Arthur Mayer, the Harvard-bred but otherwise astute managing director of the Rialto, has come belatedly to the rescue of the unlettered. He has brought Hopalong to Broadway—it's his first visit in five starts, the others detouring into the neighborhood Saturday matinees—in "Three on the Trail." It is a mighty nice title, covering as it does the same story Clarence Mulford has been writing for years, and it proves what we have been suspecting right along—that this Hopalong Cassidy is a Caruso of the horse opera.As Pecos Kane tells his assembled rustlers in the Bloody Gulch saloon, "Lay off! That's Cassidy. He's bad medicine!" But Cassidy, he just grims, eases his unerring .45's in their sagging holsters and makes life as difficult as possible for Pecos and his gang. He foils the villains when they try to hold up the stage, he outsmarts Pecos when he tries to work his deviltry on the blond young school marm and he tosses a can of gunpowder into the good old Bloody Gulch where the rustlers are making their last stand.We seem to have seen Hopalong Cassidy before. There, for a while, he looked like Bill Hart, and then he served under the tall sombrero of Tom Mix. Hoot Gibson played him for years and so did Tim McCoy, Ken Maynard and Buck Jones. Now it's William Boyd of the curly blond mane and he's a lucky fellow to be the Hopalong of 1936. Like Babe Ruth, Dizzy Dean, Red Grange and Jack Dempsey, he can bask in the dazzling sunshine of adolescent hero-worsbip. Hopalong is a great fellow

we hope his public will never fail him. Harvard Solves the Hopalong Cassidy Mystery: He's The Hero of the Latest Western Cycle.

We in Captivity An Irish Novel; WE IN CAPTIVITY. By Kathleen Pawle. New York: Dodd, Mead & Co. $2.50.

2005Year As a hospice social worker, I feel that ''open access'' is a trend that belongs in the realm of palliative care rather than hospice

we in the hospice movement must be wary of blurring our goals of enabling more natural, comfortable well-supported deaths. It is true that many are anxious about giving up medical interventions; it is our job to help them define what measures increase comfort rather than cure, and to offer only those measures.
