...None the less Publisher Mitre attributed the suppression of the mutiny very largely to the King's dash by motor in six hours from San Sebastian to Madrid where he lent the support of royal prestige to the drastic acts of Primo de Rivera in suppressing the mutiny...
This being a clean, wholesome, vigorous animal involves a good deal. It involves not condescending to the ordinary barbaric vices. One must avoid drunkenness, gluttony, licentiousness, and getting into dirt of any kind, in order to be a clean, wholesome, vigorous animal. Still, none of you would be content with this achievement as the total outcome of your lives. It is a happy thing to have in youth what are called animal spirits--a very descriptive phrase; but animal spirits do not last even in animals. They belong to the kitten or puppy stage.

...recommended to U. S. manufacturers now endangered by Britain's rubber monopoly. Guayule does not contain rubber as latex (milky sap) but as small particles among its fibres.

There was Henri ("Ricochet") Cochet and his excitable partner, Jacques Brugnon, champions of France and winners last June at Wimbledon. There was Jean René Lacoste and Jean Borotra, the "Bounding Basque." None of the U. S. players looked very strong; William T. Tilden, of course-but then Tilden never takes doubles literally. He prefers to play with some youth who, overcome at the honor of being allied with the world's champion, will stand docilely in one corner of the court...
