Everything, down at Soldiers Field, is being pointed toward building up a well rounded squad that will be strong in all departments. Hitherto there has been a feeble push where the offense should have been and a hole-filled wall where the defense should have held the fort. The defense has certainly proved the stronger of the two in the games so far, but plenty of criticism could be applied to the number of Dartmouth, Princeton, and Army men who have been getting into the Crimson backfield at the snap of the ball...

Near Moberly, Mo., a woman let into her farmhouse three men who wanted soap and water, told her one of them...

Month or so ago any political prophet would have said that the public's never-ceasing indignation at the corruption revealed by the "Stavisky affair" would be the major issue in any French election.
