Concluding a feud which has existed since 1926, the Lampoon and the Princeton Tiger announced yesterday that they will publish a joint issue Saturday before the football game. To the 6000 subscribers of the two magazines will go 64 pages of humor, a record which has not been equalled by any similar comic publication for the last six years...
...manor bern. Meanwhile the sudden change fro m "End Poverty," to "End Prosperity," in Sinclair's slogan for California has resulted in a rebuff from Roosevelt which materially damages that picturesque purveyor of political panaceas' chances of election. An entertaining spectacle this, in all its ironic humor, but pertinent to this review only in hat it shows that the administration, sicklied o'er with the pale hue of approaching elections, is making a pathetic attempt to "Turn To the Right."

I dare say, his victory in this campaign will go clown in American history as the very greatest that...
...good ones, too much on their male colleagues to help them over the tough places in their assignments. They accept these courtesies as a matter of course, then, without thanking the man, double cross him as often as possible. . . . They become hoydenish, and worse. . . . They are uniformly devoid of humor. . . . They are masters of dangerous office intrigue. ... To all of these grave charges the newspaper women can plead 'Not Guilty! That is, not always guilty.'" But City Editor Walker insists: "It is still easy for a newspaper to get along without them." Of his own job, the city...
