...Neither of the other two Hoovers looks like the President (though George Akerson, presidential secretary, is held by many to be almost the "double" of his chief). Yet trickery of some sort might have been suspected one day last week when this amazing episode took place: The President was seen to leave his executive office, clad in his usual sack suit. The Japanese Ambassador, Katsuji Debuchi, was waiting in the Blue Room to present the officers of some visiting Japanese warboats. Precisely six minutes after the sack-suited President vanished, there appeared to handshake the Japanese a President neat...
...driver, whose stand is at the subway island in the middle of the Square, told the representative of the CRIMSON the story of the arrest as he had seen it. "Cohen," he said, "was giving out the posters, with a crowd of people around him. He was standing by the traffic box when I saw him, and once he offered a poster to the cop in the box."

...occasionally: for example, a stamp club has wanted an experienced philatelist to speak to a group of young collectors; and a club frequently desires the services of someone who has done a lot of traveling, to tell of his adventures, and the sights he has seen. Sunday School teaching is another occupation that calls for many students, and in this as in the other vocations, there is often pay for experienced or otherwise qualified men. Volunteer work is greatly appreciated in every line, but for practiced men who need the money, compensation is given...
