...inland from Boca Pails above Ascension Bay we found a rather fine castillo 54 feet high with a round cupolo on the roof mask panels, door ways with columns and a fine stairway. Also at this site there was built over another temple. The two side doors of the lower temple were filled in but the middle one was left open and was entered by a long tunnel under the stairway...
Memories of the Bernstoff revelations with their subsequent exposure of a Japanese-Mexican alliance have been awakened by news that Magdelina Bay, in Lower California, has been leased to a Tokio syndicate. In view of the close proximity of this district to the American border, Washington officials fear that the move may mean the establishment of a naval base and perhaps a Japanese colony. Twenty-five years ago the Senate blocked a similar project on the ground that it would be a source of danger to the safety of the United States. Consequently the Foreign Relations Committee is prepared...
Within a day or two of the Federal estimate, the National Bureau of Economic Research made public its estimate of U. S. population for Jan. 1, 1926: 115,940,000.

A mothers' club had protested that shorter skirts and nude elbows distracted their progeny from salubrious concentration upon their studies...
...this is in a high key. It does not strike the lower notes of the practical and precise definition of what such and education for such and such a boy must be. Yet ideals are, not unimportant factors even in modern life. And the educator by his calling is an idealist. To many Mr. Russell's icons have long been gods. To some they are new and quite strange. And it is to them that he addresses his words, even as his lesser contemporary addresses his more violent phrases. Perhaps all such addresses are futile. If they are the philosophy...
