...military pension system, effective July 1, which was to cut veterans' expenditures almost in half-a clear saving of $460,000,000 per year and the keystone of his Budget balancing program. This economy was to be accomplished by: 1) confining null null pensions to those actually hurt in military service before Nov. 11, 1918; 2) reducing their allowances sharply after reclassifying their injuries; 3) striking from the rolls all Spanish War veterans under 62 who could not show service-connected disabilities. Principal losers of pensions were veterans partly disabled in civil life and veterans with ailments developed before...
...Hollywood is more adept than Lee Tracy at characterizations of likable rogues. This time he is an ambulance chasing shyster, aided by a dipsomaniac doctor (Frank Morgan) and a collapsible assistant named Floppy (Charles Butterworth) whose duty it is to fall down in front of moving vehicles without getting hurt. Everything goes well for Lawyer Stevens and his disreputable assistants until the traction company which is the chief victim of their frauds tries to retaliate by hiring a girl detective (Madge Evans). She falls in love with Stevens and he with her until he finds in her purse a check...
...Barber and 13 other last year's seniors were off the U. S.

We were very proud that the authorities should so signally commend him, and trust that he received an increase in salary befitting his now dignity. Perhaps for selfish reasons, I feel, however, somewhat hurt by this action. Through friendly associations with him last year, I came to look upon him as somewhat akin to a brother. I always referred to him as the "Major," as did my comrades. He became a part of the life of our little circle. Our college generation had accepted...
...President's mother, and Ernest Lee Jahncke of New Orleans. Assistant Secretary Roosevelt's predecessor. High above them rose the knifelike prow of a 10,000-ton cruiser, her anchor ports swathed in damp bunting. The vessel did not budge. Under her steel flanks a workman hurt his ankle, was carried off. The band played "Over There." The boat still stood still. Then the band played "Anchors Aweigh." The cruiser began to move. With one arm full of roses, pretty Miss Cora Stanton Jahncke smashed a bottle of Mississippi water across the retreating bow, declaiming: "I christen thee...
