...Cardinal Mercier's inscription. Students of the University, even the workers who built the library, solidly demand the inscription. I have had people come to me in the streets with their eyes streaming tears pleading with me not to abandon the fight but to remain firm. One of Herbert Hoover's own Wartime posters read: 'If 70 million Germans wept for 1,000 years they could not make disappear the human miseries they caused in Belgium and Northern France.' I shall fight to ensure the perpetuation of the inscription if it takes my last cent...
...ignored them. Seemingly last week the Patriarch of Prague was unsheathing against Count Bethlen the same bright weapon of open propaganda openly arrived at which he wielded mightily during the War until the Powers agreed that Czechoslovakia ought and must become an independent state.

She has been forced to occasional vaudeville towns, to doing Modiste over the radio, taking a turn at legitimate dramatics. The brilliant career of a captivating person might thus have tapered away into nothing had it not been for last week's revival...
...Since Miss Wethered seldom bothers to play in tournaments any more, the British Women's National played without her last week at Broadstone was little more than a series of illustrations of how well or badly England's golfstresses had mastered their copybook. Mrs. Herbert Guedalla, who as Edith Leitch sometimes used to give Miss Wethered a close match, seemed formidable until a red-cheeked girl named Diana Fishwick put her out in the semifinal. In the final Miss Fishwick played Miss Molly Gourley of Camberley Heath whose game, like her name, moved with the jolly confident rhythm...
