...ever noticed that the World Almanac has long used on its cover a map which shows Great Britain (but not Ireland) firmly attached to the European continent? I baited them about this once in the Saturday Review of Lit., but perhaps if mentioned in a journal of slightly larger circulation they might correct it. Who knows? They might at the same time put in five Great Lakes (instead of four) and include Long Island. CHRISTOPHER MORLEY...
...season of 1912 was as successful a season as Harvard had ever had. In the first week of practice there was a cry from the coaches for larger men.

With such light men playing a hard schedule it was greatly feared that they could not stand the strain. But all went well. There was a steady development in the team...
...written a salty, widely-read autobiography,* is equally famed in Kenosha for her knitting. Clicking her knitting needles faster & faster, Mrs. Bradford marshaled her troops.

But not even the most melancholy stockholder, considering what has happened to advertising in most newspapers and magazines in the last six months, could refrain from concluding that...
...even death, may result from the administration of sulfanilamide. . . . The toxic effects are more commonly the results of its indiscriminate use, but may occur from an idiosyncrasy. . . . Fifteen per cent of patients cannot take large doses, and 10% are unable to tolerate it at all. Patients in bed tolerate larger doses than do those who are ambulatory. Patients exposed to sunlight are more apt than are others to develop a skin rash." The rash may resemble measles, scarlet fever or hives, and break out on the face, trunk or extremities. Slight poisoning by sulfanilamide causes headache, vomiting, dizziness, breathlessness...
