...worth, but this week the Metropolitan gives interest--huge interest--in that Cupid-like "Barnum of Bandland," the rotund Paul Whiteman. But it has long been our opinion that Paul not only possesses his share of avoirdupois but also a proportionate amount or that something known as "it." To say the least, he and his music fill the mammoth Met stage as it has never been filled before with beats and throbs and sobs of soulful syncopation. In fact, Paul, surrounded by a more admirable bevy of beauties, more satisfactory dancers, and more lavish scenes than the Met ever...
...Jones bill there is more need than ever for an executive capable of restraining the excesses of Congressmen. The best its proponent can say for it is, "as fair and reasonable as is possible with a bill of this kind," an admission which leaves much free play to imaginations apt in possibilities for graft. Yet with the precedents already set the chances of the President being able to defeat it are very slight.

Even this right is at last being undermined; and, although no one troubles himself to answer the inquisitive Congressmen, there must be a little stir of uneasiness, foreboding...
...began going into business, much has been said and many opinions aired about the value of college training in business procedure. Until recently the dominant note seems to have been that college training is by no means necessary to business success, and some have gone so far as to say that it is almost a detriment. In contrast to the professions, it has been felt that a business career does not require intellectual keenness of the sort that colleges seek to develop in their students. In this connection, therefore, the conclusions reached by Walter S. Gifford, president of the American...
