...Fascist ax & rods drove the Lion of Judah from his Ethiopian home, Benito Mussolini was faced with grueling transport problems. Only means of carrying food, garrison troops and colonists from the Red Sea coast to Ethiopia's capital was by the Djibouti-Addis Ababa railroad, 494 mi. of rough, single-track, narrow-gauge roadbed over which crawled rattling, second-hand rolling stock to a terminus in French territory...

Never accustomed hitherto to showing their latest models to the vulgar public, they have created for the Exposition dresses too breathtakingly extreme, fantastic and sumptuous to be worn by one woman in a million, show them mostly on featureless-faced mannequins rough-hewn of pinkish beige plaster, some as disproportioned as surrealism.

Coming into Bremerton Navy Yard on April 6, 1917, having known since the Baton Rouge left Mexico that war was not far off, Rex had already got himself straight about his own part in it. Uncle Sam was "Uncle Sucker." From now on you only pretended the Allies were in the right, and killed and got killed automatically...
When George Jacobus became president four years ago, PGA was bogged in the rough with only about 600 members. Vigorous President Jacobus has punched it back to the fairway with 1,867 members by astute promotion of which a sample is the PGA Code of Ethics which he likes to circulate over his signature. Excerpt: "The name 'Professional Golfer' must be and remain a synonym and pledge of honor, service and fair dealing.
