...political certainties are not Labor certainties. Last week a pamphlet was issued by William Green, President of the American Federation of Labor. It is to be distributed to members of all the Federated unions (some 3,350,000). It is to tell them that 1,000,000 children between 10 and 16 years of age are working in the nation's industries. It is to tell them that they should urge the ratification, the resuscitation, the resurrection of the Child Labor Amendment...
Twenty to thirty abreast, white robed unmasked (to conform to a local ordinance), with white peaked hats, white cords around their waists, arms folded, the marchers followed rank on rank. Here and there was color-an imperial robe of crimson or scarlet or green. Everywhere floated American flags. The entire District of Columbia contingent (of about 100) carried each a large flag, gift from the Texas Klans. Other banners showed a masked horseman, a little red schoolhouse, the legend "Non Silbla sed Anthar (Klansmen smirk when asked to translate this; it is not Latin), and the legend...
From "Vienna flies an airline; over the Danube Valley, checkered with green and yellow fields, past the drowsing towers of weedy castles, the Kreuzenstein-a fagot of aged stone pillars, fortressed quadrangles, powder turrets -on into Czecho-Slovakia, energetic Republic blazing" with red roofs, factory chimneys, to the place where Prague with its thousand monuments dreams in a fortressed valley. The cost of this trip by plane is $4-the equivalent of a third-class fare by rail; it occupies 1 hour and 40 minutes; the train takes 8 hours, including an hour at the frontier. No wonder that...
...Foregone Conclusion. Last week the Conclusion won the qualifying round from the babblers with a 78. Up stepped lank Dorothy Klotz of Chicago; the Conclusion settled upon her 4 and 3. Up stepped Helen Payson of Portland, Me., a nervy novice; the Conclusion finally rested at the 18th green, 1 up. Along came pouring rain and sure-putting Mrs. H. D. Sterrett of Hutchinson, Kan. The Conclusion wavered before those pitiless putts that streaked for the hole over yards of squashy turf. Near the tenth tee grew a four-leaf clover. It was picked, pensively. Near the 18th...
...Argentine swimmer training to swim the English Channel, last week performed this feat as part of her training. She entered a marathon swim from Corbell to Paris, one woman in a field of eleven men. Two black Senegalese swimmers, accustomed to the tepid rivers of Afria, turned saffron, then green with cold, left the race. T. W. Burgess, Englishman who swam the Channel in 1911, followed suit. One by one the giant swimmers quit until only five were left, among them stout-hearted Miss Harrison. At the Austerlitz Bridge she had cramps; at the Chamber of Deputies she recovered; finished...
