This line-up omits all the members of last year's undefeated Freshman eleven, several of whom are generally considered to be ripe for regular intercollegiate service.

Trunk lids slammed. Fishing and dam-building clothes were put away. The President led Mrs. Hoover and his retinue back to Washington announcing that regular weekends at his Virginia camp were at an end.

The objections to this proposal are that $125 worth of goods at wholesale rates are worth $80 or $85 and should not be taxed at all; that such an arbitrary scaling down...
Senator Henrik Shipstead, Farmer-Laborite, onetime dentist, lives on a secluded island in northern Minnesota, striving to recover health lost in the service of his country. Last week his regular Republican colleague, sightless Senator Thomas David Schall, stopped at the Minnesota State Fair, urged his constituents to offer prayers for Mr. Shipstead's recovery, "although he is not a Republican...
