...hard work, people are forced to live on the small allowance available from the poor fund. I know mothers who are supporting several children on a sum of $15 or $20 a month from the same fund. I know how they are housed and clothed and what rents they pay, but imagination balks when confronted with how they keep warm and what they...
...meant for children. Why study mass-psychology to find out why -Obscenity deleted. the Y charged six francs for cigarettes when the army canteen across the street charged five?

The March offering was taken to indicate that the Treasury does not expect "cheaper" money...
...modern scribe has very little to recommend it. The story starts nowhere, gets now-where. The style is tabloid, frequently illustrated with actual newspaper stories of the most Moronic cast. Attempting, evidently, to give an impressionistic picture of the emotions of a rather sensitive reporter in the pay of a sensation-trusting city staff, the book falls short of the mark, and this despite the inclusion of various little novelties, the use of actual newspaper heads at the top of each page, the running together of several words in the foreign manner, and the common use of such perfectly good...
