The Chicago Tribune published a full page in the current Pond's Extract series of testimonial-persuasions, the central figure of which was attractive young Miss Elinor Patterson, daughter of Major Joseph Medill Patterson, the Tribune's owner and publisher. In no uncertain words the Tribune's 1,020,427* readers were let into the secret of how Miss Patterson's "lovely skin with its rare petal texture, its flush of unfolding youth, its transparent delicacy" is kept "imperishable" in spite...
...poor working girl. Yes, I was surprised to see so many young college women in the place--and was quite delighted. A study in contrasts--or are they--is always amusing. Especially when two of those burly brothers in blue--the kind that read the Lampoon begin to extract certain indiscrete yeomen from the crowded mist.

...Churchill was acutely conscious that the British taxpayer believes himself to have concluded a far too lenient tentative Anglo-French debt settlement with the wily M. Caillaux (TIME, Sept. 7, COMMONWEALTH). Ergo, Mr. Churchill was expected to obtain proportionately more from Italy than he had been able to extract* from France. Britons roughly figure the full amount of Italy's debt to them at 580 million pounds ($2,818,800,000) ; and considering that Britain is paying a total of $92,310,000 a year to the U.
