Mouse Queen Blowers would like to make the U. S. mouse-conscious. Already the U. S. has its mouse organization: the American Mouse Fanciers' Club, about 35 members led by Rev. R.

...other, curly-haired Robert Sweeny, who lives in London and plays from a British club, had, after a terrific match, put out Scotland's famed Jack McLean at the 20th hole but, in another terrific match the next day, he had lost to James Ferrier.

The doors had no outside locks, no knobs. The only way to get in was to be admitted from the inside. And Mrs. Potter Palmer...
...senior championship for the fourth year in succession. An able performer in the junior men's tournament was 10-year-old Robin Lee of Minneapolis. In the senior tournament Roger E. Turner of Milton, Mass. won for the fourth year in succession. Mrs. D. F. Secord and Ferrier Martin, of the New York Skating Club, won the waltzing championship but lost in the dance tournament to Mrs. Theresa Weld Blanchard and W. W. Niles...
