...bellied mountain. Into it last week crawled one Lawrence S. Ashley, geologist, cave-guide. Clambering up the entrance to a secret tunnel which he had discovered, Explorer Ashley heard a great echoing roar as a landslide filled his return to the mouth.

There is so definite a relation between degree of intoxication and the sulphuric acid-potassium dichromate tint, that Cincinnati judges have used its evidence in arrests for driving motor cars...
...four are the retired Admirals Diek, Bachmann, Kresigk, Gerdes. All accompanied Prince Henry at Kiel last week and the Admirals motored out next day to be his house guests at Hem-melmark. There, on his retired estate, Prince Henry, still with chubby pink chops and twinkling, kindly eyes, drank a sailor's toast to "The Navy" with his Admirals in mellow Steinberger*, precious as fluid gold...
