There he shifted from cutaway to a well-worn coat, settled down to the life of a small-town editor that he had known from his 18th year. Newton Diehl Baker, Secretary of War (1916-21), that short, slim, dark man whom Democrats call the "fighting pacifist" is too good a speaker to withdraw from the public rostrum, but his efforts were concentrated on earning fat legal fees from Cleveland industrialists.

This year's basketball team will make its final bow of the season tonight in the Newton High School gymnasium in an exhibition game with Tufts. Of the fourteen contests the team has played, nine have resulted in victories for the Crimson.
