What is 



Plain Talk? 



Plain Talk is the challenger of 

 human acts, thoughts and monu- 

 ments. It is aware of the fact that 

 nothing human is ever settled. It 

 perceives that what was true this 

 morning may not be true this 

 afternoon. 



Plain Talk stimulates . . . moti- 

 vates. It debates, heckles, informs, 

 advises, destroys, rebuilds, enter- 

 tains. It asks and answers. It lifts 

 the log of convention and exam- 

 ines .the beetles, the fungus, the 

 rot.

HOW BRITISH GUILE SCUTTLED THE AMERICAN NAVY— By Rear Admiral 

 Bradley A. Fiske, U. S. N. Materialist! — Anti-Christian! — Jingoist! — shouts the mob 

 as Admiral Fiske tells what he knows about disarmament. And he knows plenty — 

 whether you agree with him or not! A siszing article, this, that will start "em talking — 

 loud and long! 



THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE HOME— by Louis Bromfield Mr. 'Bromfield- 

 who writes good books, even if they are "be.st sellers"!! — gives us two startling pictures 

 of what IS humorously called the "home" — old and new. Prohibition, says he, did,' of 

 course, pull father away from the corner saloon — but it also sent the children to gin 

 parties! And — now where are we? 



THOMAS, SON OF GOD — By Carl Von Hoffman. An explorer and lecturer brings 

 us, from darkest Africa, this fantastic, but true, story of a white man's religion, a native 

 black man's mind, epilepsy and a desire for glory. Thomas, Son of God, follows a 

 strange and bloody trail of evangelism. 



WHO LAUGHS AT THE INSANE?— by John E. Lind, M. D. For 10 years ia 

 charge of the department for the criminal insane in a Washington hospital. Dr. Lind 

 sees a gigantic and well-merited inferiority complex in those who laugh at the insane. 

 Perhaps, we wonder, it's just as well to be half-witted as it is to be stupid.

B. MUSSOLINI'S QUARREL WITH THE ROYAL FAMILY— by Vincent Sheean.
