University of Missouri one day last week. How gay and glamorous the affair would be, the big annual ball of the Engineering School! How red-blooded and stalwart the engineers, who stride the campus daily in corduroys and stout boots, seemingly oblivious to the admiring glances of the coeds!

If you are tired of Sherlock Holmeses and their attendant Watsons you may find...

When Senator Borah stood up to broadcast from quiet Washington he little suspected that wildest pandemonium was already loose beneath the Trocadéro loudspeakers that were to shout his words. A message from the Archbishop of Canterbury which Viscount...
