Cape Cod sea captains left their pinochle, when the severest earthquake the east had felt for many years jarred seismographs from Halifax to Manhattan.

...President Hoover's law-enforcement commission. They had assured him that the prayer book's prohibition refers to "church" in the sense of "congregation" and would not apply to the loan of a building.

S. womanhood. But tobacco competition grew hot. One by one the cigaret-makers began introducing women in their advertisements. At first it was just a woman's arm and hand holding a cigaret (Marlboro). Then it was women present, though not smoking, at smoking bouts. When a Chesterfield advertisement appeared in which an entrancing female was made to say, "Blow some my way," it seemed...
