...Mary Wescott, as Luciana, is likeable though her voice is a bit thin compared to the others; supreme in looks and in singing is Muriel Angelus, as Adriana. Too much cannot be said in her praise, for her appearance is a delight to the eyes and her voice a treat to the ears. Betty Bruce, however, as the Courtezan, runs Miss Angelus a close second; her dancing gives a life to the show whenever she performs, and she has a demoniacal expression and movement which, to say the least, is disconcerting...
Today in a typical Progressive school, children call their teachers by their first names, treat them as friends instead of masters. In place of fixed desks and seats are chairs, workbenches.

As a special treat, garters will be issued to both sexes. Reason: the city discovered that the paupers' clothes were so old-fashioned they had to be made to order; it will be cheaper to buy modern clothes from stock...
Army chemists have experimented on 90 yards of wool (enough for about 50 shirts), consider the results satisfactory. Presumably the War Department, which can use the process royalty-free, will treat army uniforms, blankets and other woolen equipment with the solution. A few days after the patents were granted, Inventor Peakes had requests for detailed information from eight clothing manufacturers...
