...army of some sort in the field, and wait for the English to lose the war;" he is supposed to gasp when he hears that in 1814 "Madison's government... was delighted to be out of the struggle on terms which were not humiliating," that "Grant was the politicians ideal of a President." Unfortunately for the publishers, for the critics, and for Mr. Herbert Agar this too much emphasized realism is not startling. It is merely fact, and the sort of fact which all but high school teachers are able to recognize...
...altitude record, only 456 ft. short of Jack O'Meara's U. S. record. At the end of the Elmira meet Dick du Pont called a group of crack pilots together. He had been studying maps and he was certain the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia offered an ideal soaring site.

It will undoubtedly remain an idle tutor's dream, but the reforms which might be still injected into the records office and board-rooms of University Hall, can be read between...
...seven others are at equidistant points around the semicircle. Shooters fire from each stand at two targets thrown alternately from the two traps, then from stands 1, 2, 6 and 7 at two thrown simultaneously. The 25th target may be shot at from any stand. The skeeter's ideal: to break all 25 targets, win membership in the "Twenty-Fivers' Club...
