...present budget is following a precedent, not creating one. The point is somewhat academic. Germany, no one doubts it, will pay; nevertheless, the principle of crediting money before it has been received is obviously unsound. Critics of the Minister of Finance repeated the well-known proverb : "Don't count your chickens before they are hatched...
...excessively painstaking and elaborately voluble in a set of six not particularly short short stories. They are exhaustive studies in human nature. Uncle Spencer enlarges upon the love of an elderly Englishman for a cockney male impersonator in a German internment prison. Little Mexican tells about a romantic Italian Count and the thwarted life of his son. Hubert and Minnie relates the abortive misconduct of an unwilling young man and a willing young woman.

The average price charged for a Cadillac is $20. By count on last Saturday night I discovered that 200 cars were parked on University property. Now if this rule is to be strictly enforced these 200 students will probably have to have their cars in garages. If they do, the expense taken in a lump sum will be very large. Assume...
