This is not the first time that Louisville has cried "mad dog." Last autumn, an ecstatic writer of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch wrote: "Once Kentucky had charm and individuality. Now it is hard to distinguish it from Kansas. The hills are full of antievolutionists, prohibitionists and reformers, and the Ku Klux Klan's fiery crosses burn under the walls of its abandoned distilleries. . . ." Enraged, fuming, two-fisted Governor W. J. Fields telegraphed the St. Louis paper: "Your vicious and unwarranted editorial attack upon Kentucky . . . indicates that you are either a liar or a fool, and I am inclined...
...sunflower when he led the fight in the House that overthrew the dictatorship of Speaker "Uncle Joe" Cannon (TIME, Nov. 22). Since 1913 he has been in the Senate. He admits no Republican or Democratic or third party prejudices; no mind but his own controls his booming voice. This autumn he swung into Pennsylvania to herald the campaign of William Bauchop Wilson, Democrat; he is just as liable in the future to dart off to Florida to boom some progressive Republican. "Party ties rest lightly upon me," said he. "I shall be glad to work in unison with anyone...
Michigan v. Wisconsin. Boundary disputes between states are not so rare today as might be expected. In October the Supreme Court opened its autumn session by settling a controversy between Oklahoma and Texas (TIME, Oct. 25).

The new line, running from Lake Superior to Green Bay, is only a slight variation of the old and does not change the ownership of any important cities. It does, however, settle the ownership of numerous islands in Green...
With the coming of autumn, however, Secretary Kellogg was moved to inform explicitly Foreign Minister Saenz that: 1) The U. S. considers that she recognized President Obregon in 1923, on the explicit understanding that U. S. property rights acquired prior to the adoption of the Mexican Constitution of 1917 should not be jeopardized by legislation enacted thereunder; 2) The U. S. expects (demands) that these rights be respected by the Mexican Government...
Eels, the only freshwater dwellers that descend to salt water to breed, are caught in great numbers and sizes (up to 8 ft., 3 in. for congers) as they go to sea in the autumn but the specimens are never sexually ripe. Sea dredging has hitherto brought to light no eel eggs, which are evidently laid at great depths. Laboratory observations have proved that eels spawn but once, dying immediately afterwards. All that ever comes back from the depths are transparent baby eels about 2 in. long, with which harbors and rivers teem in the spring. Before spawning, matured eels...
