...Assistant Judge Advocate of the A. E. F.'s quarrelsome Service of Supply. Decorated with a chestload of Allied medals, he practiced international law with Paris' Coudert Brothers after the War and sprouted definitely in 1924 as general counsel to General Dawes and the other experts who drew up the Dawes Plan...
...counter-claimed that Mr. Drinker, assistant professor of ventilation & illumination in Harvard's School of Public Health, appropriated certain Emerson inventions for the famed Drinker respirator. Indignant Mr. Emerson has roused a faction of Harvard's Medical School to similar indignation, over the fact that Mr. Drinker drew fat royalties ($300 alleged) on every Drinker respirator sold by Warren E. Collins Inc. Builder Emerson claims that $1,500 for a Drinker machine is "robbery," sells his similar machines for $1,000 each, admits that if he had enough orders to build them in quantity he could sell them...
Craigenputtock and Wilheim Meister--the rough, wild, churlish island upon which Johnson drew the carriage shade before an indignant Boswell, and the balanced periods of a great German classicist--these were the opposing forces which shaped the life of Thomas Carlyle.

...first race, a first in the second, for 34 points, to 32 for her nearest rival, the Cuban Mara. Sure enough, heeling gently in the breeze, Ace was away fast and well ahead halfway around the 10-mile triangular course. On the last leg, Jahncke's Tempe III drew close in a puff of wind that Ace missed; the catspaw died with the Iselin boat still in front, 1 min., 15 sec. at the finish. Later in the day, to make the U. S. sweep complete, Ace, Gull, Tempe III and Winsome won a team race against four Cuban...
While the Senate was arguing, Postmaster General Brown drew the wrath of the House Post Office Committee and some operators by juggling airmail routes in precisely the manner which the law provides but which his critics call ''arbitrary." He gave Transcontinental & Western Air a mail route from Los Angeles to San Francisco as an "extension" of its New York-Los Angeles run. The extension parallels United Air Lines. Also to T. & W. A. he gave a route from Columbus to Chicago; to American Airways an extension from Buffalo to Detroit (joining its Detroit-Chicago). Both the latter extensions...
