...Saturday three men were in new positions, and the crew never settled down, being somewhat out of time at the finish. The second crew is steadily improving and should give the Annapolis "jayvees" a great battle. The Navy seconds beat Pennsylvania by two lengths last Saturday, while the Red and Blue University eight was trailing by five lengths. A victory for the Watts stroked shell next Saturday, seems a bit too much to hope for, but if the Harvard crew improves as it ought to the race should be a battle. The Crimson eight averages more than 183 pounds...
...plans for the Manter Hall School's new building which will be located at the corner of Mount Auburn and Holyoke Streets have been approved and work will start immediately. The building which has been designed by the firm of Adden and Parker will be four stories high of red brick and will be architecturally in harmony with the colonial style now so prevalent throughout the University. Originally to be only three stories high, it was found that more room was necessary and the fourth floor which has been added to the plans will be given over entirely to dormitory...
...Thornton, Tex., oil refinery chemist, found the fumes of boiling benzine "rather pleasant," not realizing that they were attacking his spleen, causing him pernicious anemia, and hemorrhages of his mucous membranes. Blood has been oozing from his mouth, nostrils, intestines, bladder; and his organs for manufacturing new, replacement red blood cells have not been functioning properly. In Baylor Hospital, Dallas, Tex., last week he borrowed blood for the 42nd time in six months.

Along dirt roads from Kansas City to Lawrence, Kan., a pair of sandals went clump-hua-clump-hua-clump-hua. . . . In the sandals were the red feet of Jose Torres of the Tarahumara tribe of Chihuahua, Mexico, who last week ran this 51 miles in 6 hr. 46 min. 41 sec. (a speed of about 8 m. p. h). In regulation track shoes, Purcell Kane, an Apache of Haskell Institute, finished second. Three other Indians also ran. Jose Torres, as everyone knows, recently covered 89.4 miles of concrete road in 14 hr. 53 min. (TIME, April...
...Author. An intense idealist Remain Rolland retired from gay Paris to austere seclusion when his early marriage ended disastrously. He compiled biographies of famous men, a history of opera, novels, plays, screeds on pacifism. In 1914 he appeared in Geneva to work for the Red Cross, to enrage "La Patrie" by excoriating "La guerre" in open letters to other pacifists. Still, at 61, a flayer of warriors, he includes a savage portrait of "Tiger" Clemenceau in Mother...
