...ball either or both of two loose-balanced wickets which it is the batsman's business to defend. When one of the batsmen knocks the ball away from his wicket, he may exchange places with the other batsman, thus scoring a run. The procedure of scoring does not greatly differ from that used in two-old-cat; but cricket is unique among all games for profound, untechnical and subtle reasons. Its rhythm, the pace at which its climaxes are reached and at which they disappear, is slower than anything except the growth and decay of empires...
...controlling all manufacturing steps from raw material to finished cars, last week had contracted to buy batteries, tires, bodies, shock absorbers from outside companies.* All manufacturers seem to give good value in 1929 cars. The table on p. 43 shows comparative prices. Often where prices are close together, they differ because one maker provides more or less fittings and accessories than another. Because every motor manufacturer produces the four-door sedan or a model very like it, the data pertains to that type of car.

...Giovanni Giuriati is a somewhat insignificant minion of Dictator Mussolini. But Shaker André Tardieu is one of the ablest, most forthright and least blatantly famed statesmen of France. Deftly M.

Instead of elaborating a politico-economic theory, he simply said: "There is a very wide differ ence between public ownership and public control of water power sites, which in the first instance belong to the people them selves, and the operation and ownership of a going business [e.g., railroads]." He defended his Prohibition proposal only by reiterating that it was oldtime Jeffersonian States-rights doctrine...
...decade or two some honest historian should set himself to telling the story of the development of music in the U. S., no name will figure more prominently than that of Walter Damrosch. Today's sophisticates will differ perhaps. They will remember the Strauss of Mengelberg, the Debussy of Koussevitsky, the Bach of Stokowski, the Wagner of Toscanini; and in the fervor of appreciation of individual performances they will have forgotten the millions whose musical sense has been awakened by Damrosch. They will have forgotten that it was Damrosch who first introduced to the U. S. such composers...
