...coming for some time, for injunctions against proration agreements were piling up and gasoline stocks had become unwieldy. An abortive effort was made last October to boost the price of crude, but two Standard units refused to follow suit. Now the price is well under October levels. Though such stout proration-ists as President Charles Bismark Ames of American Petroleum Institute insisted that the Supreme Court decision does not impair the power of states to regulate production, most of the industry saw evil days ahead. Governor Sterling reluctantly demobilized his little army, declaring: "Serious trouble is threatened in many quarters...
...West Point cadets who have played three years of varsity football elsewhere are still eligible for the team. This gives West Point an obvious advantage in Army-Navy games. Navy has not won since 1921. In last week's game, closing the football season for the East, stout-hearted Navy tried hard, but anyone could see that Army had more power, more experience.

A patron of hunters, St. Hubert may be invoked in cases of hydrophobia...
...proposed beer bill soon to be brought up in the Senate has several unsatisfactory features, but never-the-less it is important as a revenue producing measure. This bill, written by Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, provides for the sale and manufacture of "beer, ale, porter, bock, stout, lager, or a name similar thereto." With the above-named beverages taken out of the prohibition amendment, no other federal legislation would be necessary, since there is an existing tax of six dollars a barrel on beer on one hand, and the Webb-Kenyen act protecting-dry states on the other...
