My ambition is to make everybody in the city smile. . . . You ain't seen nothing yet." Mourned Candidate La Guardia: "What a shellacking they gave me! . . . People don't resent graft any more. . . . At least give the corpse a chance to cool. . . . Yes, I still believe in democracy...

...gaiters. She gave a joyous hop-skip-and-jump along the platform and almost plumped into Byng of Vimy. He, deftly sidestepping, punctiliously bowed to irrepressible "Baby Betty," Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth, only granddaughter and unspoiled darling of George V. When His Majesty followed the babe it was seen at once that he did look younger. His cheeks were a breeze-tanned brown.

...possible lineup change was hinted at yesterday when Harding was seen at left end. Douglas was not at practice because of slight injuries sustained last Saturday but it is rumored that when he returns Harding will have his job. The remainder of the team was the same as that which faced the Wolverines and the chances are that it will stay that way for the last two games. Mays and White are working out daily with the first team and although neither will be in the starting eleven, both will be kept on the side-lines as a constant threat...
