...plaintive screed by Noel Burnet under Animals in TIME, Nov. 16, relative to the koala "Teddy bears" of Australia is not without its points. But rather than ask for a Santa Claus, why doesn't he offer for sale an enlarged colored picture of the bear & cub, such as you have reproduced, with the proceeds going to the present and future care and protection of the bears? If the picture were well done I would gladly pay a dollar for one to give to my little girl...

A War correspondent after graduating from the Mexican border troubles, Webb Miller lived through London air raids, saw men die on the Western Front. After the Armistice, as chief of U. P.'s Paris Bureau, Webb Miller watched Poincaré, Clemenceau, Lloyd George and President Wilson knock together the doomed...
Because the Bruins are not having a Cub team this year there will be much less ice available for the Crimson pucksters than in previous years, and as a result there will be no Junior Varsity team. Instead Coach Stubbs will carry a larger Varsity squad and the work will be more intense. An indication of this is shown by the hour's scrimmage which concluded the first session last Tuesday. On Thursday and yesterday the work was fast and hard--there is no let-up for anyone during the afternoon...
