Early Monday afternoon four Boy Scouts, part of a volunteer army which was scouring the countryside, stumbled into a deep gully about two miles back from the road in the Baldwin Hills. There in weeds as high as a man's head, her face pushed into the dirt, a clothesline tight around her cold little neck was the lifeless body of one of the girls, ravished and murdered. In the bushes a few yards away, similiarly strangled and raped, were the bodies of the others. As the horrible news of California's crime-of-the-year spread through...
Just what the Belgian Premier had afoot was a deep diplomatic secret. The only rumor into which Washington got its teeth was that there was a plan in the making to have the U.

He gave three talks, introduced two of the other speakers...
...city dwellers give a second thought, so basic and taken-for-granted is sewage disposal in urban life. New York City's sewers spout 1,107,000,000 gallons every 24 hours. Chicago's daily 800,000,000 gallons would make a 100-acre lake 40 ft. deep. There is a mile of sewers for every 1,000 persons in the U. S. Even a half-hour suspension of sewage disposal might cripple city existence, but who cares...
