Before he reached his office he learned that none of the 115 employes in the seven-floor establishment was turning a hand in the interest of Yahr-Lange's prosperous wholesale trade. When he got to his desk, his chief accountant, his sales manager and his credit manager were waiting to tell...
...Legislatures passed laws requiring three days' notice of intention to marry. To the conservative clergy's satisfaction, out of business went blatant, self-advertising ministers in West Virginia's "Gretna Green," Wellsburg.

Italy lost over 20,000 of her finest men at Abysinnia and fighting is still going on.
