...many college towns there exist feuds of long standing and great venerability between the local police and the students. Whether or not there is such a feud in New York is hard to say, but the latest stroke of Police Commissioner Enright's "special flying squads" is either a masterful sort of retaliation or else a most dastardly trick. These special raiding squads are composed exclusively of "young detectives apparently chosen for their ability to look and act the college boy on a lark"; they trickle insidiously into the doomed "chop house", purchase several drinks and then ungratefully arrest...
...death of General Lee Christmas, the original hero of "Soldiers of Fortune," may be considered as marking the end of an epoch. The adventurous, romantic kind of warfare in which he won his fame may still exist in remote places, although even Mexico is amusing herself with airplanes and gas, but as a general thing it is gone forever,--and with it the chances for those Herculean exploits which have held readers enchanted from the days of Homer to the somewhat more recent ones of Richard Harding Davis...
...such sales the statute requires the President to consider the public interest. Public interest is not a synonym for money. It may not be defined in terms of finance.

The seneschal enlists as many children as possible and dubs them Crusaders of the Shrine. If sufficient funds are collected by a district ("commanderie"), the Patriarch of Jerusalem will acknowledge the service by erecting a bronze memorial near one of the sacred spots. For example, Sunday School children of Philadelphia...
...same terms which Mr. Bullard uses American traditions and the right of each individual to make his own bargain--many employers have tried and some have succeeded in putting through just such an open shop. Probably Mr. Bullard means some compromise between the two. Such compromises do exist but they exist either because the employers and employees understand each others' motives or because the unions in those industries are not strong enough to enforce any other condition. Shop committees are unsatisfactory in that they rarely produce capable leaders and cannot make agreements which will extend over a wide field...
