Alyce Claire missed all afternoon – has an awful cold! Saw Mrs. Wolf and Head of Wanda’s baby born Dec 30. Got a new dress a’la redigate from BonTon for $4.90 – Dark blue with bright print. With black or white twill be good. I have 3 parties planned. Wed for S.S. class, Thursday for Dramatic club and Friday for home room. Hope one of them anyway, won’t materialize. Too much of a good thing!
The Nazi Reichstag passed the ‘Gestapo Law’ which included the following paragraph: “Neither the instructions nor the affairs of the Gestapo will be open to review by the administrative courts.” This meant the Gestapo was now above the law and there could be no legal appeal regarding anything it did.

The cold wave is almost over – for Chicago
Chicago Daily Tribune Jan 24, 1936http://www.lettersofnote.com/2012/05/dear-einstein-do-scientists-pray.html
A young girl named Phyllis wrote to Einstein on behalf of her Sunday school class and simply asked, “Do scientists pray?”
January 24, 1936 Dear Phyllis,
I will attempt to reply to your question as simply as I can. Here is my answer:
Scientists believe that every occurrence, including the affairs of human beings, is due to the laws of nature. Therefore a scientist cannot be inclined to believe that the course of events can be influenced by prayer, that is, by a supernaturally manifested wish.
However, we must concede that our actual knowledge of these forces is imperfect, so that in the end the belief in the existence of a final, ultimate spirit rests on a kind of faith. Such belief remains widespread even with the current achievements in science.
But also, everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that some spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe, one that is vastly superior to that of man. In this way the pursuit of science leads to a religious feeling of a special sort, which is surely quite different from the religiosity of someone more naive.
President Roosevelt sent a short handwritten message saying he would not sign the Adjusted Compensation Payment Bill, explaining that it only differed in two respects from the bill he had already vetoed at the last session. Prior to this note, Theodore Roosevelt had been the last president to write a veto message by hand. The House promptly took a vote and overrode the presidential veto by a count of 324 to 61.
