Some of these Legionnaires will be running over to London for a week or two, and I would suggest now that they stop in and see if there is such a member of the London Author's Club as Mr. Cyril D. H.

My blood still boils when I remember his sneering reference to "The Yanks, a nation ... by no means of the first rank, who . . . found themselves in 1914-18 too proud to fight...
...color blind ? HARRIET INGERSOLL Saint Paul, Minn. The border is red. But the red ink is printed over yellow. Exposure to much dampness or sun light would fade it orange.

But the main galleries followed "Bawby" Jones. Excursion trains stopped to watch him. Clergymen, grandmothers, policemen, cripples made shift to get a view. Wet greens-had bothered his putts at first but his second score, a 71, was a portent. Less whiskery than Tom Morris Jr. but quite...
...word of deep appreciation for the highly intelligent letter of Mr. Frank Vincent Waddy, on the subject of our vituperate critic, Cyril D. H. G. Dillington-Dowse. Mr. D. D. seems to have brought the skies crashing down upon his head...
