...social and economic plans, and finally the President was offering to show them how. But Senator Ashurst's demonstration of the "mildness" of the President's plan proved almost too much for liberals to stomach. He had practically proved that the President's bill would not effect any permanent judicial change. Its only long-range effects would be to increase the number of justices on the Supreme Court and set a precedent for future presidents to propose bills to pack the Court. But if Franklin Roosevelt increases the Supreme Court to 15 members, the time may come...
...trouble unless the blood contains enough alkaline substances to neutralize the acid. Oranges, grapefruit and lemons alkalinize the blood in a natural way. So do certain mineral waters. But none, according to Berlin's Professor Dennig, can compare with baking soda in simplicity of dosage or directness of effect. The dose he gives was not stated in last week's dispatches to the U. S. Trainers of U. S. athletes seldom dose their men with baking soda. When they do they give from one teaspoonful to one tablespoonful. This they do two or three hours before the contest...

When the impulse has expended itself, there follows a period of very rapid shrinkage at the foot of the glacier. Black Rapids Glacier may continue to move for six months to two years. Then it will recede. Five years hence it will have dwindled five miles back up its valley...

His daughter is unhappy because she is treated like a child, and because her sweetheart's father is an old enemy of Ed Fulton's. When...
Across the Mississippi the Governor of Illinois, Henry Horner, a lawyer, was of a different mind. To Mayor Dickmann he dispatched an urgent telegram: "Before you take final action on the ordinance before you, may I ask you fully consider the unnecessarily drastic effect which its enforcement will have on the coal industry in 15 southern Illinois counties, adjacent to St. Louis, employing 29,000 wage earners, and sending 4,000,000 tons of coal annually to your city, which is the natural market place for these counties...
