...animals are as prolific as the musquash. They breed three or four times a year; spring litters are frequently propagating by autumn. Before Great Britain was the sad example of the late Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1905 five muskrats were taken from the U. S. to Prague. By 1914 their descendants had spread 90 mi. in every direction. In 1927 they covered half of Austria, had invaded Germany, were estimated to number 100 millions...
...past its rental-library title, which fits its subject like somebody else's glove, readers of New Author Flannagan's book will pull up only at its end papers, with a sigh. Though dealing with the fairly thoroughly canvassed tragic situation, or lack of situation, of half-breed Negroes in the South, the book tells its story with a ruthless, rare good humor.

The decree, postulating that many of Russia's present breeding ranches are too large, ordered them split up by the creation of 102 new ranches, menaced with dire threats ranch managers who have ignored previous orders to breed on a strict cost accounting basis...
...world a week's conversation. Besides the obvious question of whether slavish copying of another man's work gives a student technical training as much as it deadens his individuality and imagination, was the larger problem of whether great paintings should be copied at all. Familiarity does breed contempt. Mona Lisa is undoubtedly a great painting, but two generations of post cards, meat calendars, candy boxes and gift shoppes have spoiled it for the youth of this century...
