What bustle and excitement is a parade! It keeps sewing circles and church socials chattering for weeks before and days afterwards. It makes Pop misplace his glasses just fifteen minutes before the first band swings past Lexcord Green; Sally must have her face washed twice as a double protection against dirt; and Ma thinks, as the car turns the corner, that she didn't close the icebox door. For the neighbors know how long all the bands between Framingham and Lowell have been eking practice sounds out of trumpets, drums, bass horns, and still worse horns. Uniforms have been brushed...

The expression on the face of Mayor Mansfield, of Boston, when he raised a flag at 8:45 yesterday morning can only be compared to Al Smith's when he laid the cornerstone for the Empire State Building.

Bandages may be applied for 24 hours to limit oozes. After that "no dressing is necessary. . . . Dressings about the openings of the mouth, eyes and nose are particularly objectionable, as they retain decomposing secretions in contact with the wound." Infection or disfigurement, declared Dr. Babcock, "from an incised or even...
...wedding of James Potter Polk, son of onetime (1918-19) Acting Secretary of State Frank Lyon Polk, and Margaret Smith Salvage in swank Lattingtown, L. I. went J. Pierpont Morgan. When he went into the church, he clapped his topper over his face to foil a battery of nine cameramen. When he left the church he threatened the cameramen with his umbrella. On each occasion he was thoroughly photographed. Muttered the 69-year-old financier, getting into his Rolls-Royce: "They won't leave me alone. And those flashlights scare me to death...
