...place, the occurrence on earth of storms at the Equinox is simply a "happenstance." The earth's tilt, the sun's position over earth's equator, have no meteorological implications other than the general one that toward the end of the summer the continents begin to cool off while the sea stays warm, thus altering some air currents. Storms in September are erroneously called "equinoctial gales" if the term is taken to designate anything but an ordinary weather disturbance named for convenience, as who should say "a Christmas blizzard." Records taken over 50 years actually show fewer...
...entrance into the World Court. Reservations were attached. Nevertheless, all good nations were expected to be pleased at having the U. S. in the World Court under any conditions. Seven months passed. Liberia, Cuba, Greece, Uruguay opened their arms, welcomed the U. S. into the brotherhood. Other nations remained cool, indifferent. Meanwhile, at home, Senators began to find that their constituents were not pleased with the votes they had cast for the World Court. In April, Senator William B. McKinley was defeated for renomination in the Illinois primaries ostensibly because he had voted for the World Court. Now, in California...
...cool Italian wine was brought to him by an aged, cheerful monk who refused payment. The bricklayer, refreshed, at peace, opened the portly Hospice Register before journeying on, inscribed his bold autograph: Benito Mussolini . . . Aug. 5, 1903.

Few are possessed of so little "hindsight" that they cannot...
...week when Mrs. Mallory had eliminated Helen Wills from the New York State championship at Eye. It was Helen Wills second defeat in eight days. She spent her energy early-in the first set, the only set she won. The court was like an oven, but Helen Wills was cool. She has never, since the days when she wore pigtails, appeared anything else. Mrs. Mallory looked as if she had been in swimming with all her clothes on. Her shirt stuck to her back like a wet towel; her eyes glared out of her tawny face; the cords stood...
...holiday in Port Darwin, Australia. Bunting fluttered in the streets. August sunshine beat down on the white-powdered road out to Mindil Beach, where the Timor Sea lay breathless blue under an offshore breeze. Soon after breakfast time, the beachward procession began-Port Darwin merchants cool in their white ducks; bronzed " 'roos" ("Kangaroos," i.e. Australians) from the cattle country; darker aborigines shuffling along in silent excitement; cooing Chinese in bright pajamas. They watched the horizon all morning. Some had gone home for midday tiffin, but most remained, chattering, scanning, pondering, when a school urchin jumped forward, his eyes bulging...
