Similar aggregations of weeds, though smaller in extent, exist under like conditions in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The weeds, however, are not dense. They grow in patches here and there over the area, affording food for marine life...
Locked Doors. Youth (Betty Compson) married to simple senility (Theodore Roberts) falls in love with a young and handsome hero (Theodor von Eltiz). This happens by the side of a trout stream in romantic circumstances that just escape being obvious. From the viewpoint of technique the story gets worse and worse.

Mr. Finley returns to his former suavely acid insinuations, and quite convinces us that the entire Workshop affair is after all, merely another absurd and inconsequential eddy in the comic stream that college is. Hugh Whitney's "Ballad", next in order, is exquisitely done and comment seems superfluous Whitney Cromwell unleashes the ironic whiplash of his tongue in "The Salesman", and Charles Allen Smart, in the last of the four distinctly good things in the number, presents a vivid picture in "Exploration...
