...Will Hebner moved into a farmhouse about seven miles from the dusty little town of Pocahontas, Ark. Most conspicuous feature of the Hebner ménage was a large sign which said NO VISITORS WANTED. Pocahontas townsfolk took the hint until last winter, when both Hebners ceased to be seen and a flock of buzzards was observed wheeling over their establishment. Neighbors then found that the most conspicuous feature of the interior of the Hebner menage was a man's corpse lying in the storm cellar. The corpse-apparently several months old- was wearing a belt which looked like...
Willie Kendall has made as remarkable a tank record as has been seen in America for many years. His chief claim to greatness lies in his versatility. His best official times in sprints and distances, for example, are the following: 23.2 in the 50-yard free-style, the Australian record; 53.8 in the 100, although unofficially he has done 52.2; 1:22.4 in the 150, an American and world's record; 2:11.2 in the 220, although his best unofficial time is 2:08; 4:46.4 in the quarter-mile (20-yard pool), an intercollegiate record...
...after those two days we found we liked her better than most of the girls we knew.

She was "different," and we liked her, and we'll be on hand to welcome...
...Young Communists lies a serious defect in the University Administration. Harvard tends to be so sure that what it is doing is right that it ignores the publicity angle of its actions and allows itself to be grievously misrepresented. The result of such a policy is to seen in this week's papers, with all the politicians and patriots in full cry after the Red menace, and all sorts of organizations passing resolutions against the college. It cannot be denied that in Massachusetts at present there is a certain lack of trust in Harvard among many people, a misunderstanding...
...Lombardo, Donald Duck, and Annabella combine to make this week's show at Keith's the best we have seen in lo! these many moons. The Royal Canadians are the big attraction, and rightly so. Giving generously of their wares, they occupy a very pleasant hour with some fifteen numbers including "Ten Pretty Girls," "Whistle While You Work," and "Tippy Tin." Morover, they add finishing touches to the vaudeville numbers, and, except when they enter the vocal realm, go over with a resounding bang. When the "sweetest music this side of heaven" fades away, the stage is taken over...
