...that in the picture the gaunt spinster is the one who jabs Jenny. But the prizes for endings will not be awarded until Thanksgiving and the prize-winners need not conform with the picture. The only satisfactory ending for The Phantom of Crestwood would be to borrow the glass barrel in Six Hours to Live (see col. 1), allow Jenny Wren to settle the matter herself...
...that the burden of the proposed immediate bonus payments and the load of the wasted millions falls directly on all the people in the shape of taxes, and particularly on this younger generation to which the Great War is only a dim reality. Congress has already permitted veterans to borrow on their bonus certificates a sum practically equal to what would have been the amount of the bonus if payed in 1926.

S. could neither tax nor borrow two billions out of its people...
...healthful stimulant in the perfection of these comparatively recent institutions. Graduate students, commuters, and Faculty members constitute the largest groups drastically affected, and yet even here it should be possible for the bibliophiles to adjust themselves to the established library hours. It will, of course, be possible to borrow books overnight when the doors close at 6 o'clock...
