...telegraphone has been in commercial use for several years. Dartmouth has already employed it to a limited extent in the work of improving young men's speaking voices. Professor Packard, who was director of dramatics last year at Dartmouth, and thus had an opportunity to see the machine in operation, will, however, probably be the first instructor to further elaborate its use by installing a loudspeaker attachment. This will, of course, prove more convenient and efficient than the ear-phones previously relied upon. And the experimentation which Professor Packard intends to carry on during the second half year, may well...
...reported that King Amanullah of Afghanistan has offended the Ulemas, to the extent that the latter have cancelled a farewell reception planned in the King's honor on his departure from Cairo. It seems that the conduct of King Amanullah during his visit to Cairo was not acceptable to them, and the cause of controversy seems to be the royal headgear.

Mr. Leccisi, as far as I know, has not been approved by any Diocesan Court in the United States...
...term takes on added significance. It has been a matter of common knowledge that the chief executive is thrifty in private life; but the extent to which this is true has not been realized. For it is reported that when Mr. Coolidge retires, having been in office for approximately five years, he will have saved two hundred and fifty thousand dollars from his salary. The annual income of the chief executive is seventy-five thousand dollars; those who know the president claim that he does not spend one-third of this amount. A little simple mathematics reveals the fact that...
