...that some deception, or at least sharp practices, were resorted to by the defendant [ Pittsburgh Coal] to secure portions of the right-of-way," observed Judge West, "but the enterprise must be looked upon as a private venture. While the plaintiffs strongly suspected otherwise, they were unable to bring proof to the contrary." Last week the 200 laborers once more laid hands to pick & shovel. The Mellons would soon be hauling their own coal...
...tear himself from her arms to go to a dying woman, they quarreled. Pretty soon he began to suspect that somebody else's hat was on the hatrack. His jealousy and shame drove him to drink. Lixlee was diabolically cunning, never let him get any proof, though apparently she took on any handy man, at any hour. If Authoress Canfield is to be believed, Lixlee was not only a nymphomaniac but a sadist; finally she turned golddigger and ran off with the town's rich old bachelor.

Merchants talked nervously of a Buyers' Strike. Consumers feared that retailers would use the code as an excuse for general price-upping, particularly in communities where competition was slack. The NRA had been used as an excuse before. In July the price...
...product of an intense program of research. The thousands of completely educated and competent graduates who have braved the financial and social rigors of general family practice, especially in rural districts, testify to the falsity of this accusation. Vanderbilt Hall, the Medical School's own House Plan, is another proof that the School's curriculum is centered about the student, not the laboratory. Lastly, the free access which the School has to three of the finest hospitals in America, represents not only the appreciation of Boston for the collected wisdom of the school, but also singularly important instruction in everyday...
