...truck. In front of me was at boisterous brass band which kept playing "How Dry I Am." Beside me rode my daddy, like Pompey returning to Rome in triumph. In case you do not know him, my daddy is a nice old man-rather chubby and rather bald-has name is George E. Brennan [Democratic nominee for Senator from Illinois (TIME...
...acquitted Mr. Taggart. People marvelled at Miss Ferber's statement that she "desired above all to avoid further publicity," for the affair looked like a shrewd stunt to make Show Boat re-Ferberate through the land.

Frank R. Hedley, president-manager of the Interborough Rapid Transit Co., New York: "An object of the Interborough Bulletin, my company's 'family magazine,' is to publish the name of each of my 18,000 employes at least once per annum. It makes for good will; we are sure the employes like it. The Bulletin publishes as many employes' pictures as possible, too, with jolly titles like 'Girls, Take Notice,' 'Loves the Interborough, 'Faithful Employes,' 'Well, Well, Well,' 'All Smiles.'
