Harvardmen were pretty shocked three years ago when they found that to get many of their classmates on the telephone they would have to dial "ELI", but it seems now that to get the Boston office of either the A.F. of L. or the C.I.O. you have to dial "CAPITOL...
...Holder of the 18.1 balk line* championship almost continuously since 1906 has been stumpy, grey-haired Willie Hoppe. Last week in a curtained enclosure in Manhattan's noisy Capitol Bowling and Billiard Academy, Champion Hoppe defended his title against the challenge of Jake Schaefer, sharp-nosed champion at 18.2 balk line.* For their 3,000-point match.

Only organization allowed to fly its flag over the U. S. Capitol is the American War Mothers. Only time War Mothers are allowed to exercise their privilege is Nov. 11.

S. Senate in 1940. Said he: "I've made mistakes but I do not think I deserve this stab in the back...
Cool on the banks of piney Lake Mendota rests the quiet city of Madison, centre of a rich dairy and farming area, home of Wisconsin's State capitol and State university. Last week, though no petroleum has ever been found there, Madison became also the temporary capital of the U. S. oil industry. In the biggest trust-busting case since the famed dissolution of Standard Oil, the Federal Government last week brought to trial in Madison 18 major U. S. oil companies, five of their subsidiaries, three oil trade journals and 57 ranking oilmen.* Under the Sherman Anti-Trust...
