Hence, amenable to Fascist law, he keeps them where, if they displease him, he can jail them without a boo from anybody-who matters...
...Kellogg reversed his Mexican policy twice and that President Coolidge gave his attitude toward Mexico a ponderous half-turn.

Mrs. Mallory, after half an hour...
...newly-established nucleus of 15 men left on the University squad at practice yesterday, has potentially as strong a bid for a triumph over the Wah Boo Wahs as any Crimson nine of recent years. With Spalding called away by an examination, Toulmin is slated to fill the pitching role, his first assignment since his win over the Navy.
