...story of many a football game but it will happen no more. The National Football Rules Committee, meeting in wintry seclusion at Absecon, N. J., last week, voted a new provision which makes a fumbled ball recovered by the defensive side "dead" at the point of recovery. The new rule "will not apply in case of forward passing, nor to backward passes which are intercepted before striking the ground, nor to blocked kicks, which will be played as heretofore." The committee justified its change with the explanation that a fumble is the error of but one player, not the team...

Thousands of Italians in rural districts knew nothing about it although the rumor spread fast by word of mouth.

Ernest Rutherford (1871-? ) in 1911 proved the electron theory. Arthur Stariley Eddington (1882 -?) is a fine fiddler with the wave theory. Arthur Holly Compton (1892 -? ) is another...
...however, purchasers fail to meet their weekly payments, their interest in their diamond "lapses." and when "lapsation" takes place the money previously paid in becomes profit for the Standard Diamond Co. Mr. Johnston began to worry about what would happen to the interest payments if the "lapsations" began to fall off. Perturbed, he called the District Attorney's office and the Better Business Commission. It was at this point that Mr. Stillings reappeared, ornamented his colleague's desk...
