...people who like to believe that it is not suitable for young men of the age between eighteen and twenty-one to drink, and therefore should not be allowed to. The fact remains, however, that young men of this age do drink, and, what is more, nothing will stop them. It is far more appropriate to discriminate between the school boy and the college man, who is supposedly taking care of himself, than arbitrarily to draw the line at the comparatively unsignificant age of twenty...
...Pretender Otto's bride. King Victor Emanuel would not want to waste his daughter on a "political adventurer" but a King-Emperor would be another thing.

Bolivia's refusal to sign indicated her resolve to battle on under German General Hans Kundt. Because the League of Nations has not yet finished adjudicating the Leticia dispute between Peru and Colombia which...
...work on the last quarter-mile of a new railroad from Smiths Ferry, Pa. to Negley, Ohio. For more than a year they had been driving through the Allegheny foothills this spur that would cut the cost of coal in the Mahoning Valley 40? a ton. The laborers stopped to read some notices posted overnight by a U. S. marshal. No work was done that clay or the next or the next. The notices were a temporary injunction commanding Montour R. R. to cease & desist from all construction. Though few of the construction gang knew it, their work was halted...
