...article regarding the motion picture entitled The Big Drive. I take particular exception to this picture because having seen it I realize that portions of it are not authentic in certain respects. There is a section of the film which deals with the bombardment of the famous Cloth Hall. Ypres. The scene purporting to show the actual bombardment of this famous building is not true in any sense of the word. The building has no resemblance as shown to the real thing and is a mislabeled shot...
...merits which it extolls; it is simple, homely, realistic. It is a worker's drama laid in a background of steel struts, huge cranes, belching steam-engines, stinking box-cars, wood, sand, and concrete. Rough, eager workers with rugged, seamed faces, and stick-like limbs garbed in coarse cloth toil, sweat, wonder, learn, and finally succeed. The most industrious brigade is awarded a banner, the laurel wreath of the worker's state. There is no pomp or glitter, little enough of comfort, many primitive growls and grunts, but no oratory: the whole tone is rough, sodden, gray, inarticulate. The plot...
Perhaps the books required are the only ones that can possibly be used; but certainly, if this is the case, the University could do something towards obtaining cheaper editions.

The decline of the Oldroyds begins when the desire for family distinction obscures the interest in good cloth; the success of the Bamforth line lies in its espousal of the humane cause...
...along the lines of the National Golf Links of America, in Long Island's Shinnecock Hills; a links to rank among the world's finest for the use of the country's foremost. Back of the idea was Fielding Wallace, Augusta textile manufacturer who makes "press cloth" out of human hair imported from China. He and his friends formed the holding company to buy a tract of 364 acres, of which the club now uses 192. Memberships-of which Bobby Jones, the club's president, thinks 500 will be plenty-will cost $350, with $60 dues...
