...coal and oil to pay the whole reparations bill. It is but natural that Dr. Schacht should cast eyes upon these resources, that he should remember East Prussia, now cut off from Germany by the "corridor" which Poland was given to connect her with the sea. On the other hand the "Iron Man" might have had common sense enough not to wave two red rags before two bulls. That was exactly what he did by so much as mentioning the "corridor" to France (friend of Poland) or alluding to "colo-nies" in the presence of Britain (which holds East Africa...
...long, inch-wide strip of hide from a freshly killed rhinoceros. Let the strip age a little and toughen. Then have one of your black boys taper the kiboko, or sjamboke, down, smooth and polish it with a bit of broken glass. Grinning ingratiatingly, he will hand you a tawny whip. Just right for use on a blackamoor, in the opinion of most South African white men.

...White or Carrere and Hastings. Architect Cram was and is a devout, learned Episcopalian Gothicist, medievalist. Architect Goodhue soon returned to Manhattan to superintend the firm's office there. A rift developed between the partners. The inventive Goodhue Gothic and the Cram Gothic - orthodox archaeological - could not go hand in hand. In 1914 Architect Goodhue began practice for himself. He then did his most noted work, including transitory palaces of Arabian Nights grandeur for the San Diego Exhibition, the Baltimore Cathedral, three of Manhattan's chief churches.* Over the Bridal Door of fashionable St. Thomas he placed...
Editors Note: In all justice, give the little girl a hand. A child's scornful indignation at the antics of the big brother can only be equaled by the latter's wrath at finding his paint box exhausted in the interests of embryonic art. Such attention must be significant whether deserved or not. It was not so long ago that the long, long haired sister expressed a preference for the military buttons of the soldier boy. The present comment is at lest an indication of the fact that the same benevolent attention is bestowed upon the irresponsibilities...
