...save" Warsaw, zealous Polish defenders released clouds of artificial fog, supposed to blind the enemy planes. Citizens, who had been warned day before to reinforce the windows of their homes and offices with paper strips, were sternly warned to stay indoors "in case of gas attack." The attack came, though it was only tear gas and only a few unwary citizens were caught in the streets, promptly to be rescued by Red Cross volunteers wearing gas masks.

Wright, her store manager, intimated that a buyer willing to operate...
...cease an annual worry, to abolish the "News," and to print, in its stead, a handier, cheaper cardboard scorecard. If it is not true, then there is small defence for an unhandsome and elaborate system of secrecy. This system has existed too long. It has been without reason save of the most obvious sort. If this weekend's news stories indicate anything, it is the butt of intelligent men. It will probably be continued...
