...Canada scoffed the Ten Eyck idea. Declared Oscar Earnest Fleming of the Canadian Deep Waterways & Power Association: "The people of Quebec and the Maritimes are intensely British and would object to being transferred like a lot of cattle." Quebec's Premier Taschereau, long a seaway critic, picked up the Ten Eyck proposal and patriotically brandished it as one good reason why Canada should reject the St. Lawrence treaty. At St. John's, Que., the Chamber of Commerce unanimously demanded that the U. S. give Canada all of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine north of the 45� parallel in exchange...

Pulling the ripcord, Italy's Dictator revealed a 300-ton obelisk of Carrara marble embellished with no inscription except nine letters in high relief-MUSSOLINI. Apropos a gymnastic exhibition by both sexes which next...
...year. So far he has earned it by building up, from the remnants of a team that won only one game last season, to one that last fortnight held Michigan 14-to-7 and last week smothered Lehigh, 53 to 0. Affable and optimistic. Coach Crisler does not object to his nickname "Fritz." He learned his football at Chicago where he was a crack end in 1920 and 1921. Pleased by the success of Coach Crisler, Princetonians were recently grieved to learn that grizzled little Keene Fitzpatrick, head track coach since 1910, football kicking coach and chief Princeton trainer...
