...Star Game. Sports Editor Arch Ward of the Chicago Tribune last year promoted the idea of a game between picked stars of the American and National Leagues to advertise the World's Fair. The game drew a crowd of 49,000, and netted $42,000 for the benefit of indigent members of the Association of Professional Ball Players. This year League officials thought it would be wise to have another all-star game.

They knew how to use the wheel and the arch, how to irrigate their lands, and they had begun to write, Belief in immortality is indicated by the sacrifice of servants after a royal death. Clay cups were always found in the tombs beside the victims, and Dr. Woolley's energetic wife guessed that they drank a narcotic or poison. Her husband finds this plausible, makes bold thus to recreate a royal...
...climbed into a big limousine one morning in Palo Alto. The plump man was Herbert Hoover. The others were two secretaries and a chauffeur. Heading eastward across the U. S. the limousine took Mr. Hoover to: 1) Chandler, Ariz. "on business"; 2) Phoenix, Ariz. to spend the night with Arch W. Shaw, Charles G. Dawes, General Pershing, General Harbord and Henry M. Robinson; 3) Albuquerque, N. Mex. to lunch with onetime Republican Congressman Simms and his wife, Ruth Hanna McCormick; 4) Santa Fe, N. Mex.; 5) Kit Carson, Colo.; 6 ) Hutchinson, Kans. to lunch with onetime Republican Congressman...
