With Blair & Co. in Prairie, with Cutten in Sinclair, drawers of inferences soon began to predict a Prairie-Sinclair merger. Point One: Elisha Walker is a Sinclair director-a potent and obvious point. Point Two: Prairie Oil & Gas, with assets of $186,323,925, is the largest U. S. producer of crude oil. Harry F. Sinclair needs constantly more oil for the Sinclair Refining Co. Obviously happy would be an arrangement whereby Sinclair refineries could call upon Prairie Oil, whereby Prairie Oil would have an affiliated customer in Sinclair Refining. Why should not Sinclair Directors Walker and Cutten confer together...
...rapid fire barrage of mythical football teams at present being laid down by the daily press has discouraged many a peaceful breakfast hour. Digestion is impossible for many who feel intensely on subjects athletic, when they find that obvious super-tackles are not even mentioned by the eclectics who pick the all-so-and-so elevens...
...During the last few years advances in treatment have been made. Chief among them is the discovery that acidosis tends to stop convulsions. Many children have been completely relieved, by the practical application through diet of this chemical knowledge; in adults the diet is seldom of avail. It is obvious that the processes underlying these phenomena are not completely understood, and it is hoped that if a more complete understanding of them is obtained that dietary treatment may be more universally successful...

High schools, owing to the decentralization of personnel and their largely vocational nature, have not suffered from this misinterpretation of college life, principally through the accident of an only distant connection with it. By their very refusal to focus their entire attention on college preparation, the high schools have unwittingly avoided mistakes. By their diversity of purpose...
...artlessness there is no sign of that intellectual poverty which so often shows itself, for example, in Haydn. Few composers, not even Beethoven and Bach, have been so seldom banal. He can be repetitious and even tedious, but it seems a sheer impossibility for him to be obvious or hollow. Such defects get into works of art when the composer's lust to create is unaccompanied by a sufficiency of sound and charming ideas. But Schubert never lacked charming ideas. Within the limits of his interests and curiosities he hatched more good ideas in his thirty-one years than...
