There was but a minor error which in behalf of our Dutch friends, especially several pilot friends, members of the bombing squadron at the above mentioned affair, we wish to rectify. We refer to the bombing account which tended to impress that the bombers' marksmanship was a bit poor. The fact is but one small 50 Kilo (110. 25 Ib.) bomb was dropped-a direct hit- the finish...
...when intelligence-testers began to impress the nation, Principal Persis K. Miller of Locust Point's public school asked Johns Hopkins' Psychiatrist Adolf Meyer to survey the community, a social back-water of Baltimore. Dr. Meyer's agents found 166 children in Locust Point who were sufficiently subnormal to need special training.

He is a lame duck, soon to fall from his roost. Nor did the witnesses talk to impress Michigan's white-crested Couzens or Pennsylvania's sad-faced Reed or Wisconsin's pompadoured La Follette. All these would soon be in an impotent Republican minority. The man the witnesses knew they were talking to was the tall, rangy, half-bald Democrat who slumped...
