...must seem both improbable and undesirable. Perhaps the day for fulsome explanation before achievement has passed, perhaps no intelligent man today can bring himself to speak with gether with his reluctance to speak at the glib certitude which speeches of this kind imply. But certainly there can be little doubt that changes of any deep and far reaching kind, of college revolutions which eugaud the Sunday supplements of Mr. Hearst, are not imminent in an era of strict financial retrenchment...
...succeed where the gentle art of self-defense failed, and the best defense is a gallant offense such as libel. If Capone claims the reward from Colliers', Mr. Morgan, by putting the government on one of its fashionable lists will see that Capone is set free. Capone would no doubt like to round off the Century of Progress with a riotous New Year's eve on the Loop. But for the present, while the injured Kingfish and the tottering financier are still in the public eye, the pretender to the medal is in jail, and the modal itself is locked...
...from the incessant "Jim" in the biography, the article also marks another tract of the serious prose which has been occupying our newspaper sports-columnists more than it should.

But the hard winter trip to their new home discouraged her, and when they were settled in the little Highland fishing village...
...Still in doubt until the end of last week was the outcome of the James Gordon Bennett International Balloon Race (TIME, Sept. 11). By virtue of landing methodically at Branford, Conn., 750 mi. from Chicago, Lieut.-Commander Thomas G. W. ("Tex") Settle, pilot of the Navy bag and winner of last year's race from Basle, Switzerland, was far in the lead. Then out of the wilds of Quebec, bearded and exhausted, trudged the Polish entrants, Captain Francizek Hynek and Lieut. Zbigniev Burzynski. They had descended about 102 mi. northeast of Rivére Á. Pierre, followed moose paths...
