Sirs: America, judging by the consensus of public opinion is invested with a so-called "crime wave" just now and a great many people are beset with doubt as to the cause of it. Everyone seems to have a different idea. We have been enacting more rigorous laws giving longer sentences which means that the prisons are filling up. Now we put two men in a cell intended for one. Some live in the hallways. Then come the riots among the prisoners. Our next step is to build more prisons-and so I ask you what will...
Tsar Peter, perhaps to spare his son, the Tsarevitch Alexius, such pangs of doubt, had the boy murdered. He also decapitated one of his mistresses, Mary Hamilton, and delivered an anatomical lecture on her head. Withal, savage Peter was called "The Great." Last week on the white sands at Biarritz it remained incumbent upon Spain's fashionably tanned Alfonso XIII to state clearly which of Peter I's gargantuan examples he would like to follow "if it could be done...
...Ernest Crawley-Button-($4.50). Although this is primarily a scholarly book, it contains points such as the following for man-in-the-street's consideration: "The attaching of a market-value to a woman has tended to raise the standard of female chastity."

The bobbing epidemic afforded me the greatest possible joy, for I was able to see and list in a diary with all attendant circumstances over 500 "first bobbings" without revealing the circumstances at all. The rapidly increasing popularity of the boyish bob gives me almost as much...
...possible, from working on Sundays. Generous, Mr. Ford was also astute. For the more efficient became the railroad, the more rapidly Ford coal moved north from Ironton and Ford autos moved south from Detroit. And, though the selling price of the road was not announced, there was no doubt of a fat Ford profit. After the Ford improvements, the Interstate Commerce Commission valued the road at something over $11,000,000. Mr. Ford's figure was something over $23,000,000. Probably the sale was made at closer to the Ford than to the I.C.C. estimate...
