Upton Sinclair has never broken himself of the colonizing habit. He went to Single Tax colonies at Fairhope, Ala. and Arden, Del. In 1909 it was "Physical Culture City" at Battle Creek, Mich., a health centre run by Bernarr Macfadden. At Battle Creek, discontented Meta Sinclair met Poet Harry Kemp, with whom she eloped two years later. And at Battle Creek, Upton Sinclair met his second wife, Mary Craig Kimbrough, daughter of a wealthy judge of Greenwood, Miss. When they were married in 1913, Judge Kimbrough, who had no more use for a Socialist than for a Republican, turned...
Jack Carr's squad start their games early. If you have a few minutes and nothing to do before a football game, just drop over to the field across Boylston street.

In Buenos Aires wise Catholics will gaze speculatively on the austere features of Cardinal Pacelli, for he will undoubtedly be a man to be reckoned with when the present Pope, now 77, dies and the Princes of the Church gather in the Sistine Chapel to elect a successor...
...investigation proceeded, it became increasingly difficult to believe the du Pont thesis that military explosives, small though it appeared, is a business in which the firm takes no interest, would gladly be without. Evidence was introduced to show that in February 1933 the company signed a contract with one Del Sungo Giera, active throughout the War as a spy both for the Germans and the Allies, secretly to provide munitions for Germany. Suddenly reminded of the Versailles Treaty the company tore up this contract and substituted another saying that they would ship no munitions to Germany without the approval...
