...25th annual meeting of the National Tuberculosis Association at Atlantic City last week provided a summary of the U. S. Tuberculosis situation. Estimated number of people infected: 900,000 cases. Sanatorium beds existing for their care: 67,270. Result: doctors, nurses, public health officials and the N. T. A. must get after cases roaming at large. Between 3% and 4% of children have childhood tuberculosis. Half of those children overcome their infection (by rest, good food, outdoor life). The other half develop true pulmonary tuberculosis (the type that kills) when they become adolescents. About the same number of boys...
...Frenchmen. Little Arlette, the dyer-kiss do-de-o-do (but I loof heem, ah mon Dieu how I loof heem).

This is almost a period of laissez faire, so far as any general clean-up-athletics move goes. In its place exist the intricate individual agreements that hold only within small groups of colleges; this is in line with the increasing apartness of institutions, now in the phase of leagues, and perhaps eventually to be narrowed down everywhere to the meeting of only two or three rival colleges a year. Under such conditions...
...have always maintained that trained reserves [as well as soldiers of regular armies] should be included with peacetime armaments [in planning for reductions], since both actually exist in time of peace. In our eyes, a nation which possesses an adequate and equipped trained reserve is in a position promptly to undertake an offensive battle...
