Having him for Mayor of Chicago would be no fun for the New Deal either since he is the personal candidate of Colonel Frank Knox's Daily News. Some surprising deal was seen in the making when Tom Courtney visited Harold Ickes in Washington over the weekend...
...their way to the District High School. On the other side of the tracks he still had others to collect. At a grade crossing near Midvale Driver Silcox stopped, looked, listened. Then he started across the tracks. The 48-car Flying Ute, which Driver Silcox seems neither to have seen nor heard, at that instant roared out of the storm, screamed its warning and struck.

An increase of two men each may be seen under the cryptic heading, "students having connections severed," and "students required to withdraw," while improvement is noted under the other six self-explanatory headings. In fact no men at all were "dismissed," as compared with one apiece for the two preceding years...
