...remembered for a relatively short period. Anything which helps to maintain such feelings beyond the time that they are needed for the preservation of unity and national health may rightly be considered to jeopardize the cause of permanent peace. And indeed there would seem to be some ground for the opinion that there is an anomaly in decorating a permanent collection of the sum total of human intellectual progress with memorials to that spirit which in all ages has interrupted and perverted rational thought...
...found on the St. Cloud course, just outside of Paris, what golfers call their "element." The Smith golf is highly stylized, has mostly been played on the hard, fast fairways of Missouri and California. Golfer Smith's two feet and the head of his club, when it touches the ground, nearly always form that invisible equilateral triangle so exuberantly eulogized in golf textbooks. During the recent European venture of U. S. professional golfers, he has been the direct antithesis of erratic unorthodox Leo Harley Diegel. On the careless hillocks and ridges of Muirfield and Moortown where he had his first...
...food is placed. The container rests against a powerful spring and has attached to it a rope. The rope hangs over two vertical, widely spaced arms fixed to the catapult chassis. In the mechanics of catapulting, a plane comes sweeping toward the machine about 20 feet from the ground. From the underside of the fuselage a rope dangles. At the rope's end is a metal hook.

That pull releases the spring, which instantly projects the container from...

". . . The Record makes this correction, and regrets exceedingly the error." Guessing that the next news would be Publisher McLean's withdrawal of his million-dollar action, readers of the hard-hitting Record...
...bedraggled group of Gastonia, N. C., strikers appeared in Washington to tell their grievances. They were snubbed by the National Women's Trade Union League on the ground that they were not affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Fourteen-year-old Binnie Green, who weighs 69 pounds, told of getting $4.95 for 60 hours' work a week in the mills. North Carolina's ponderous Senator Overman patted her on the head, and said: "This child ought to be in school." Then he backed away into the Senate, there to renew his warnings of Communistic agitation...
