...have been easily the most friendly of South American republics toward the United States of North America. Generally speaking Brazilians are proud and pleased that their Constitution, "States Rights," Congress, Cabinet, Vice-Presidency, and Presidency are all cut and fitted to the mode of Washington. Only such trifling differences exist as that each Brazilian state is represented by three Senators instead of the Washingtonian two. All too few North American school children have been taught the historic words wherewith Brazil followed the U.S. into war with Germany.

From the results of other investigations in progress at the Astronomical Laboratory last year, Professor Stetson is led to believe that the moon might cause a deviation in the direction of gravity as it passed over the meridian of the observer...
...remembers a face, or who considers an introduction of the evening before ample reason for a nod, is no better, in my estimation, than one who thinks membership in the same club with one of these relaxed persons a justification of continued bowing to aim. And there still exist--can you believe it?--those who think playing on the same athletic squad full license for a greeting outside of season...
