...Early Monday afternoon four Boy Scouts, part of a volunteer army which was scouring the countryside, stumbled into a deep gully about two miles back from the road in the Baldwin Hills. There in weeds as high as a man's head, her face pushed into the dirt, a clothesline tight around her cold little neck was the lifeless body of one of the girls, ravished and murdered. In the bushes a few yards away, similiarly strangled and raped, were the bodies of the others. As the horrible news of California's crime-of-the-year spread through...
...nationwide as U. S. males jumped to escape the draft or to marry their best girls before going out to die. Chicago's municipal marriage license bureau set an all-time high on April 9, 1917, issuing 1,124 licenses. Last week saw that Wartime record tremble on Monday when 1,119 licenses were issued, tumble on Tuesday with 1,153, be trampled underfoot on Wednesday by a mob of 1,407 engaged couples who kept the overworked clerks on the job until 9 p. m.

Coryell workers and their families then retired to houses or apartments rented for them by the company. Bright & early Monday morning work began...
...prospered so greatly that the Coryell family, its sole owners, are now worth well over $1,000,000. In their business dealings the Coryells are shrewd, firm and virtually indistinguishable, father from son. Toward their employes they show a rather juicy paternalism. Six years ago Father Coryell instituted Monday morning chapel service for office workers whom he suspected of not going to Church on Sunday. A rumor denied by the Coryells is that there were penalties for nonattendance. Another exaggeration is that the office girls are fined if they go to the lavatory more often than once in the morning...
