...long, crisp, important, a flunky in tight breeches and silver braid carried it gingerly to the Chamberlain, Admiral Herr von Reuber Paschwitz. More in amaze than anger, the Admiral muttered "Dummkopf! Blockhead!" ripped, discovered the letter to be signed by Major Judson Hannigan (able morale developer, training camp inspirationalist, generous cup and counsel donor to promising rookies) 104th Infantry, Boston, Mass...
...Connecticut farmhouse, Inventor Arthur S. Ford, a comfortably built man with a generous mustache, played with a paintbrush and window screen. Filling up the wire squares with paint, plotting the outlines of trees, barn and sheep, he made a picture.... From this pastoral beginning he has evolved "telegravure," an invention hailed last week by Editor & Publisher (journalistic trade weekly) as "amazing." By its virtue, newspaper pictures can be transmitted in a simple code of numbers and letters and composed like any other text on a linotype. Telegravure is far simpler than telephotography. Telephotography requires costly apparatus to transform pictures into...
There was doubtless no subtle innuendo in this statement by the Times, whose motto is "All the news that's fit to print," although the motto of the Times's rival, the New York Herald Tribune, is "Complete news plus the best features."

Publisher Knopf was quick to see that any large group of people who were being taught to survey their own country with scorn and amusement would form a concentrated market for his imports. Doubtless he also felt some of that superior altruism which a generous man, conscious of his own culture, experiences in helping to uplift the herd. For though Editor Mencken stoutly denies that he is a reformer, an apostle of anything, yet he has written his own definition: "There are also persons who oscillate beautifully between the Uplift and honest lives." Politics, osteopathy, Baptist...
...resale value of the English peerage is going up. In Lloyd George's hey day it seems that the requisites for the peerage were the combination of a million pounds and a generous nature and either bachelor hood or a childless marriage. But Mr. Baldwin has effected a change. When he leaves office he may be the only Prime Minister for a century who has left the House of Lords reduced in size. Distinguished records in the colonies and large London bank balances are going unrecognized. Feeling runs strong for a higher peerage turnover...
