...goings-on. In Philadelphia it is the Town Crier; in Boston the Bostonian. Indiscreet St. Louis socialites dread the Censor; incautious Kansas citizens the Independent. But the happy hunting grounds of the gossip-magazine publisher are Manhattan and Washington. With the announcement: last week that the Club Fellow & Washington Mirror had been bought by the owners of the Taller & American Sketch, it became apparent that Windsor Publishing Corp. had its field almost completely in control. Only the 52-year-old roué Town Topics (weekly) remained in competition...
...easily imagine what a torrent of protest you must be receiving and simply want to send you my sympathetic support.

The speech is naturally modulated, emotions are patent on the faces, the scenery is as realistic as a vaudeville backdrop. In Kage-No-Chikara (The Shadow Man) a provincial lord steals the fiancee and murders the father...
Great have been donations to Caltech: The Rockefellers' general education board $3,000,000; the Carnegie groups $250,000 and more; Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics $350,000. Southern California Edison Co. gave a laboratory. General Electric is giving the great quartz mirror at cost. Within reason Caltech can get what it needs from U. S. eleemosinary and industrial institutions and its enthusiastic personal backers. Its preeminence as a research and teaching school, the high-grade of its staff and the prestige of its trustees makes this possible. Twenty years ago there was a Throop College...
