...eulogies which are Professor Norton's due. It is to the older men, the men who were so fortunate as to be either his younger colleagues or his students that one must look for an exposition of Charles Eliot Norton, the man. Enough has been said, however, to make clear to the younger generation his general character and aims.

After a three months' vacation, the French Parliament last week reassembled. Its first act was to free four Communist Deputies - MM. Cachin, Duclos, Marty, Doriot-who were imprisoned during the summer for sedition.

...Chicago for the funeral of their elder daughter's father-in-law, when their machine met a roadside brawl. Two motor cars, going in opposite directions had tried to pass a hay wagon at the same time. Both cars went into a ditch; the drivers jumped clear and fell to words and fisticuffs. The haywagon stopped as did several machines. Their drivers wanted to see the "fun" and crowded onto the roadway already narrowed by the haywagon...
