...build a railroad from Muscle Shoals to Mobile Bay, running along the valley of the Warrior River, passing through lands rich in coal and iron. The charter for this road, to be called the Mobile & West Alabama Railroad, was granted 35 years ago, but Col. May recites a sad story of how other railroad groups have blocked the project. But his hopes for the road are high at present, and he thinks the $30,000,000 needed can be obtained in England where most of the U. S. roads have obtained capital at some time...
...fair that these men or their dependents receive every dollar to which they are entitled. If there were not a few high grade firms ready to take the stigma of so-called "ambulance chasing" (a term incidentally fostered by corporations most affected by their ability), it would be a sad day for the workingmen of America...
...marry, Garbo goes away. The way this tale is told is as old as the material, but it becomes a superb illustration of Garbo's ability.

A CRIMSON editor, up for an original idea or comment, decided to be nonchalant. Instead of reaching for a Murad, he reached for the dictionary and the result is one of those stupid editorials that try to be different and end in being ridiculous...
There were few newsworthy appointments. Potent, shambling Aristide Briand maintains his traditional post as Minister of Foreign Affairs.* In the Ministry of Agriculture-where occurred the Wheat Scandal that felled the Steeg Cabinet-is none other than kinetic André Tardieu himself. Sad-eyed Georges Leygues of the sweeping mustachios lost his post as Minister of Interior to the new Prime Minister. Gigantic, limping André Maginot, Tardieu's sabre-rattling Minister of War, held the same post again last week...
