...Presidents' Camp, conferred again. Then with Mrs. Kellogg, they drove to Long Lake,* where Mr. Kellogg recalled boyhood pranks, where cousin Judge Henry Kellogg enertained them. Next day Secretary and Mrs. Kellogg motored to Washington, D. C. ¶ The Democrats and such insurgent Republicans as Senator Borah continue to bait the President and his Administration with charges of undue leniency in the enforcement of the Clayton and Sherman Anti-Trust laws. "Not so," quoth the President. Then last week he told the press that, in the last 13 months, the Department of Justice had successfully concluded more anti-trust...

Curious newspapermen wondered how many other citizens could duplicate Mr. Sickel's feat. TIME readers desirous this week of making bets similar to Mr. Sickel's may settle their bets by consulting p. 9, where all state capitals are listed...
...Nice Turk. Last spring P. E. Bishop Manning of New York and many another bishop became indignant with memories of the "Unspeakable Turk" and his Armenian and Greek massacres. Some $80,000,000 in missionary investments had become futile; Christianity could not be taught in Turkey. They asked Senator Borah to oppose the U. S. signing the Lausanne Treaty with Turkey. He refused (TIME, April...
