...Lock Haven, Pa., last week, 20 Pennsylvania State College freshmen sat in the refectory of their forestry department camp. They were fed up with the lore of weird foods. Horse meat is paler than that of cattle, and sweet. Dog steaks are as tender as lamb chops, but taste flat. Frog legs are like the white part of chicken, would be appetizing save for the dead look of the bones. Rat flesh is like that of tame rabbits. Snails fried alive in butter have a quaint taste. They are tough to chew. Human flesh, when the source is not known...
...that he entered the show business. Mr. Loew was at that time a furrier. He had done well at the trade of transforming the skins of dead beasts into wraps for ladies, and had recently moved from his humble residence on Avenue B, Manhattan, to a more impressive flat on 111th Street. Mr. Warfield also owned a house on 111th Street but he did not live in it. It was an apartment house in which he held an equity. He regretted that equity. It had paid him no profits.

Two weeks ago this girl, one Gladys Hines, 19, white, married William Idi, a young Japanese waiter. She was not very pretty; she wanted a man; Waiter Idi was all right, as Japs went. ". . . I'll kill myself. Father says that if I married a Japanese, he would send both of us to jail. I don't want...
...provocative cupid-bow orifice upraised in "the pose in which Christine's hubby says he likes her best." Another offering the Mirror made last week was a discussion of what constitutes true beauty in the female form. The idea the editors tried to get across was that "flat flappers" are not desirable, that dieting is therefore foolish. Voluptuous, well-fleshed women are preferable, the article tried to say. More or less appropriately, poses by Marjorie Rambeau, Lenore Ulric, Gertrude Ederle, Ethel Barrymore, Helen Wills were printed to illustrate the point. The interesting thing was a detail which used...
