Should the Associated Press elect to release an account, colorful or otherwise of the life and works of Editor Mencken, it could draw him to the attention of scores of millions of people.

It must be remembered, too, that geology is a young science, which has only begun its cultural value. As the science continues its vigorous growth, with its constantly increasing proofs of its deep meaning...
...were so radical this winter that the development of football along the new lines marked out for it will be watched with more than usual interest. Particularly interesting will be the opening up of the game by the lateral passing rule, from which Harvard is expected to draw full benefit through the coaching of Frank Shaughnessy, well: known Rugby football coach at McGill University...
