...paunchy, baldheaded, double-chinned man, whose trousers seem never to have been pressed, smiled the smile of vindication. He, Roy Asa Haynes, bright morning star of the Anti-Saloon League from Hillsboro, Ohio, had suffered two years of nearly total eclipse. Last week President Coolidge had him appointed Acting Prohibition Commissioner, under the new re-organization act.

Andrews became Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in charge of Prohibition, he has danced through...

The United States is merely containing a program of unofficial annexation of the countries around the Caribean, which it is has followed for twenty years past. It is in the process of establishing a mandate over Nicaragua just as England, for instance, put Egypt under the thumb of the Colonial Office (the Times did not express itself just this way). London merely regards the unfortunate verbal gymnastics...
...first three positions on the net team seem to be well-filled by Captain J. F. W. Whitbeck '27, L. H. Gordon '27 and P. M. Lenhart '27. Whitbeck recently won the indoor intercollegiate title. Other members of the squad who are considered among the leading contestants for the remaining berths on the team are B. H. Whitbeck Jr. '29, J. H. Appleton '29, Robeson Bailey '29, S. F. Thompson '29, H. W. Sayles '28, J. C. Rueter '28, and S. G. French...
