...political grounds. . . . The activity of these propagandists upon so-called scientific and humanitarian grounds seems loudly to call for a more active defense of civic integrity and personal purity against these Shavian-Wellsian-Sanger ian-Onanists who work to defile the temple of the Holy Ghost." The Commonweal, organ of the Calvert Society, replied to Margaret Sanger's opinions by disputing her premises. Other Catholic periodicals of less importance gently rebuked or soundly execrated her. But it was left for Patrick Cardinal Hayes, Arch bishop of New York, in his pastoral letter, last Sunday, to mark out the impassable...
Last week, undergraduates of Harvard University took two liberties. The editors of The Harvard Advocate (monthly organ of literature and opinion) brought forward as their April number a parody of The Dial (monthly organ of "advanced" literature, appreciation and criticism published in Manhattan). This parody was inoffensive enough, being only an effort to attract attention by appearing more sophisticated than the sophisticates.

...Dodge brothers (John, who skippered yachts; Horace, who played the violin and the organ) died almost simultaneously, and the great Dodge Brothers Automobile Co. was inherited by their widows.

Forthwith, the referee stopped the bout, awarded the decision to the bitten individual, one Joseph Celmars...
Aged 37 years, Current Opinion- monthly organ of tinted photogravure, news smatterings, topical literature- agreed to being absorbed by The Literary Digest. Publisher William H. Wise of Current Opinion gave out, as reasons, the magazine's diminished volume of advertising and his own desire to concentrate on his book-subscription business. Publisher W. J. Funk of the Digest gave out, as plans, that Current Opinion would cease functioning "very shortly," that its name would probably be incorporated with the Digest's, as was that of Public Opinion some years ago. Rumor put the price at $250,000. Thus...
