...magnificent abnegation (not, of course, in the material sense) of these Bostonians who have married Chicagoans, we think, nevertheless, that he should be informed. The McCormicks have had their reaper for a hundred years. Certain families extraordinarily well considered here-abouts have enjoyed the advantages of wool and shoe leather for a shorter time. Also, as any Chicagoan could have told this gentleman, the "Tribune" is a very, very vulgar paper indeed, although we suspect that some of his local journals rival it in this respect...
...Hell) to Heaven. On the twelvemonth, and on successive anniversaries, prayers are again offered, and Yahrzeit lamps or candles burned. Many a U. S. rabbi was shocked last week to hear that one of his fellows was bringing Kaddish into court. In Joplin, Mo. last May died Louis Bormaster, shoe merchant. To conduct the ritual prayers the family got Rabbi Harry Wolf, who had come from St. Louis to solicit funds for the Poor Orphans Home of Jerusalem.

He stood 20 paces away from a pile of burning straw, tossed a burning football shoe at it over his left shoulder. Next day Iowa State lost to Northwestern, 44-to-6. After 40 years of football against North Carolina, Duke and its new Coach Wallace Wade managed to win for the first time, 7-to-0. Ever since their 6-to-6 tie last month...
...Fugitive From a Chain Gang (Warner). When he gets back from the War, Sergeant James Allen (Paul Muni) is too ambitious to go back to his old job in a shoe factory. He wants to be a construction engineer and sets out to look for a job. His luck is bad. One night he finds himself in a lunchroom with a tramp who points a gun at the proprietor and orders Allen to open the cash register. When police arrive, they kill the tramp and hold Allen for robbery. He is sentenced to ten years at hard labor...
