...will doubtless be interested to know that the pastor's name is May B. Lord, that she is not a "him," but is one of Connecticut's two famed Methodist women preachers. The other is Miss Elsie F. Stowe, pastor of the church at North Wilton...
...Upheld the constitutionality of the California Syndicalism Act in the case of Miss Charlotte Anita Whitney. Miss Whitney had been convicted (1920) of violating the Syndicalism Act in assisting in the organization of the California Communist Labor Party. The court ruled that the Syndicalism Act could not be called discriminatory because it "affects all alike no matter what their business or calling"; could not be said to violate right to free speech because freedom of speech does not "constitute unbridled license for every possible use of language."

Last week, one year and one month after her irresponsible act, Miss Gibson was put aboard a train...
...afflicted, said alienists, with chronic hallucinatory paranoia. This is a disease which develops very slowly, coming to maturity in middle life, and characterized by delusions of persecution or grandeur. To the persecution type belong persons such as Miss Gibson who are driven by fear and hate to attack their imaginary persecutors. The grandeur type develops, in rare instances, into such "supermen" of genius, energy, and egotism as Napoleon (now generally considered a paranoiac). This opinion is not shocking if it be recalled that science no longer conceives of two classes of persons: the "sane" and the "insane." The "sane...
