Connecticut's Fenn is a patient, high-minded 72-year-oldster. Homer Hoch of Kansas is an electric, driving "youngster" of 49. It is not likely that Mr. Fenn will catch the Homer nodding but neither is it likely that the Hoch logic will persuade the big-state delegations to vote down Mr. Fenn's long-laid plan...
...importance-the woman's endurance record. Her time aloft alone was 8 hrs. 6 min. 37 sec., better than Lady Sophie Heath's 77-hr, record made earlier this year. Sixteen years ago, when planes were a novel and dangerous experiment, Ruth Law stayed up six hours. Neither the National Aeronautic Association or the Federation Aeronautique Internationale pays attention to such flights made by women as women. The recognized world endurance record is 65½ hours...
...Neither Theodore Roosevelt nor Kaiser Wilhelm II seemed to have much success in taming Dictator Castro. Also a series of British, French, and Dutch naval blockades of the Venezuelan coast, or parts of it, did not bring Dictator-President Cipriano Castro perceptibly to reason.

Eight years later the catalog of his unparalleled audacities included: 1) repudiating Venezuelan bonded debts to European investors...

Like the man who bites a dog, student actions, particularly careless ones, receive ridiculous publicity in comparison to the actions of other men. This latest undesirable criticism, neither unbiased nor constructive, is easily recognizable as more evidence of the readiness of Boston and Cambridge to betray their latent antagonism in a town-and-gown alignment which is marked most distinctly on occasions like the present...
...combatants. It was hard to remember which pins stood for which side or what the irregular graph of a strategy meant in terms of life and death. In this picture, which UFA began to make in 1915, the lines of the diagrams move themselves, like animated cartoons. Neither a newsreel nor a story, it is a history of the War, seen from the German side, but impartially; most of the battle scenes were taken in battle and the captions are excerpts from official reports. Moving maps give unity to shifting offensives, tiny cavalry in the huge honeycomb of the Carpathians...
