Sirs: Your comment on Congress with reference to passage through the House of Representatives of the census-apportionment bill (June 17) contained the statement: "The Tinkham amendment was probably as illegal as the Hoch." I am astonished to find such a palpable misstatement in your impartial and usually well-informed and ably edited columns.

He, at the time, was just overhead flying for the record with Pilot & Mrs. Martin Jensen in their Bellanca Three Musketeers. While Miss Gentry lay in the hospital and Pilot Ashcraft was at an undertaker's, the Three Musketeers...
...open-air statues to have to submit to certain indecencies. But Christian Student has received more than his full share. Standing opposite Murray Dodge Hall, campus religious headquarters, he is passed daily by almost each & every student. At night, when pagan students are emboldened by potations from Bill & Jim's or other anti-prohibition stations, they frequently commune with the Christian Student. Many a sun has risen to find him hugging an empty bottle, or with indecent additions to his costume, outlandish colors on his anatomy...
