...follow the New York World in omitting the Lehigh Valley from the list of railroads permitting smoking in dining cars. Fortunately, however, for the Lehigh Valley, the World's Bureau of Accuracy and Fair Play promptly corrected the omission. Will TIME do as much?

...soup; for the soup is perfect, but the editorial is faulty. You describe the farmers, "swinging their sweaty horses in an arc."

Last week Scot Doyle, still unable to collect his $1,500, remarked: "Slater is not a murderer but an ungrateful dog, and I think the Scottish nation should repay me." Prosperous, clad in voluminous plus-fours, smoking a fat cigar, Oscar Slater received newsgatherers...
...tryout. The full potentiality of his coaching will be felt from the most insignificant freshman candidate to the star of the Crimson team, a training extending over a period of four years. What was felt to be the greatest asset to the great Notre Dame teams of several years ago, namely the long time period of training under Knute Rockne, will be in a sense realized at Harvard in this and in future years...
