...grade, the Gillette coal is a sub-bituminous kind called black lignite-tough, deliquescent, easily crumbled when exposed to air, when it also tends to combust spontaneously. Storage of it requires a special technic, but since one-third of its weight is water it is cheaply shipped after treatment. Valuable by-products result and the coal itself-or some like it-has been found serviceable in specially built locomotives, by the C. B. & Q. and the Chicago & Northwestern R. R.'s Much of the Gillette field is owned by the U. S., which can lease it under the mineral...
Starting with Washington, there is scarcely a notable figure of history that has not been, "treated" in the new manner by the modern biographers. Caesar, and more generally, the Roman tradition, is the latest subject for tabloid treatment in book form...

Under the title "Treat Us Like Men," Dean Christian Gauss of Princeton College discusses, in the current Saturday Evening Post, the vagaries of the undergraduate mind, conscience, and particularly the sense of liberty. It is a wise and humorous treatment of a subject which must have driven many a dean in many college to the borders of insanity-the student who, when haled into court for over-cutting or neglect of studies, waves the banner of liberty and demands to be treated like a man; and who, when confronted later with some such item as a bill for broken furniture...
