...Camden, N. J., Neighbor Kisselman, after a quarrel with Neighbor Cavalieri, threw up a 6-ft. $300 barbed-wire spite fence. In reply Neighbor Cavalieri hoisted a pink wooden pig on a pole to grimace down at Neighbor Kisselman. Neighbor Kisselman ranged along his spite fence two pigs, a toad, a wolf, two snakes, a wild bull, a skunk, a baboon; portraits of Neighbor Cavalieri...

Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill last week, and told him that, despite his burning Tory opposition, the Reform Bill, granting a considerable measure of self government to India, was very close to passage.

He barnstormed with a lady parachute jumper who perched in pink tights on the wing of his plane. He made an astonishing flight of 28 mi. offshore to Catalina Island. He took up Mary Pickford for her first flight, turned down cinema contracts...
...could clown so. For one act the bassoon choir came out like monks and played an intermezzo; for another, little Carl Rink aped a violin prodigy while the other musicians played cards, rustled through newspapers. Four policemen arrested Manager Henry Voegeli when Trombonist Arthur Gunther (220 lb.) appeared in pink tights, attempted a fan-dance. But the evening's high point was the kitchen symphony (Messrs. Metzenger. Veseley, Sayers and Kopp) for which the four strange shoppers-the orchestra's percussion players-dressed up like chefs, stood between a big stove and a crockery-laden table and accurately...
