Harvard's riflemen will start their second match of the season tomorrow night at 7 o'clock in the basement of Memorial Hall, while their opponents will be shooting at similar targets some 300 miles away in another subterranean range at Princeton. The two teams will then exchange letters giving the scores for the contest, and the results of the contest will announced some time in the latter part of the week...
...shares. And by the end of the week prices stood just about where they were a year ago, with one notable exception. While industrial and rail shares had risen approximately 150% above their Depression lows of July 8, 1932, the battered utility averages were only one point above that subterranean ooze.

...Shaughnessy parried these thrusts with Irish eloquence, plodded on with his immense, laborious job-cutting miles of roads, laying miles of pipeline, boring miles of tunnels, pouring thousands of tons of concrete.

Thomas Malcolm Muggeridge, for eight months Moscow correspondent for England's Manchester Guardian, went to Russia as Guardian men go everywhere-determined to be liberal. In spite of all temptations, however, he "took a great dislike to the Dictatorship of the Proletariat," went home and wrote...
...virtual protectorate over China, she managed deftly to acquire a strangling grasp on certain important Chinese economic interests, such as the Han-Yehping mines, as well as significant privileges in Manchuria. Her recent advances in this tremendously important region need no comment, and these are being supplemented by subterranean movements in Mongolia and Sinkiang. From these it would appear, with little exaggeration, that Japan is adopting a veritable Einkreisungspolitik in regard to China proper...
