[no entry]

No entry from Papa usually means he's unhappy with his life and feels like nothing is worth reporting. I think this is the case today; yesterday's entry signaled a darkening mood even though he'd been on a mild upswing before the Labor Day holiday.

I would assume he stayed home and listened to the radio and read the newspaper. Here are some New York Times headlines that might have caught his eye:

• MEMOIRS PLANNED BY FRANKS SLAYER; Leopold Makes His Will on Jail Paper -- Is Prepared to Live or Die.
• Flies From Boston to New York in 58 Minutes; Round Trip Made in 2 Hours and 12 Minutes
• THREE TO DIE FOR POGROMS.; Red Court in Ukraine Sentences Dereschtschik and His Aids.
• SAYS HYLAN TRICKS PUBLIC ON CONCERTS; People Pay for Music for Which Mayor Takes Credit, Harriet Blair Williams Asserts.
• TEXAN PLANK NAMES KLAN.; Democratic Convention Adopts a Resolution Condemning Order.
• RADIO PLANE CONTROL GAINS; Secret British Tests Include Launching of Winged Bombs.
• ASSURE COOLIDGE OF BIG MAJORITY; Party Leaders Report Bright Prospects in All Sections of the Country.
