...this juncture, a remarkable personality came to the fore. Ask a dozen political women what woman is most fitted to be President of the U. S. and six will answer: Carrie Chapman Catt. She put the 19th Amendment into the Constitution. This widow of an Iowa newspaperman has probably presided over more congregations of women, has composed more intra-sex quarrels, than any other contemporary...
...problem of an age of industrialism is not: "How much can we produce?" but: "How much can the public consume?" Wherefore the vast, highly organized, temperamental estate called "the molders of favorable public opinion," or, more prosaically, Advertising Men.

Robison and their wives; General and Mrs. Lejeune. Mrs. Wilbur's left arm was hidden beneath American Beauty roses. Her right arm grasped a beribboned bottle of Saratoga mineral water. Presently Mr. Wilbur exhorted his wife...
Howard has also come to the fore in the past few days after being kept out of the line-up for over a week on account of illness. He was the individual star of the 1927 infield and an effective hitter of the slugger type. His batting eye has developed slowly this spring, presumably because of his enforced vacation from practice, but his fielding has been of a high order. Coady has seemingly clinched the first base position. He did not play on his Freshman team last year on account of scholastic troubles, but he has already distanced his competitors...
