Early in October another issue of the Harvard Alumni Directory, overdue since 1932, will appear. It will contain 67,000 names, 462 of them women, showing in the five years since the last issue an increase of over 10,000. An innovation in the new edition will be the listing of the names of the alumni who have died since the previous edition. Heretofore only living members were listed, but in order that no man's name should be dropped unexplained the time and place of his death will be recorded in the edisubsequent editions his name will...
...commenced his campaign in print. Due to War hysteria and the general desire to do anything to win the War, to say nothing of the Frenchman's morbid fear of such a terrible catastrophe as mass-impotence (some Frenchmen won't smoke American cigarets because they believe them to contain saltpetre), the movement caught the popular fancy and was militantly endorsed by the rest of the Paris papers. At this point Pernod Fils is supposed to have paid off the publisher, whereupon he retracted as best he could, but too late, as soon thereafter the Government took advantage...
...suspicious. Man of peace though he has always been, Dr. Eduard Benes, Foreign Minister of Czechoslovakia, has hinted that his country would "mobilize" should Otto be restored.

Catholics in the said slices might conceivably wish to place themselves under Otto's sceptre, might start most troublesome secession movements within the Little Entente...
...been obliged to cut her open and a histologist would have had to study microscopic snips of her internal organs. Now, however, all that was necessary was a test of her blood and urine on virgin rats and spayed mice. If Clara was a true female, her specimens would contain glandular secretions called hormones which would put the rodents into rut. The test was made; Clara was a boy. Thereupon surgeons started a series of major operations to release the latent seeds of manhood. Last week it was announced that the final touches will take place in October after which...
...Manhattan Beach, Calif., these songs and many another like them blare forth from 18,000,000 U. S. radio sets. Last week a handful of potent radiomen began examining them with two questions in mind: 1) Since most radio singers preserve the illusion of being unmarried, did these lyrics contain too strong a note of physical abandon? 2) If so, what was to prevent some outside organization from attempting to clamp a boycott on radio as the Legion of Decency has tried to do on cinema...
