Dress. The impression which the trip was calculated to create became evident in a small White House news item of last month. All was being arranged even to the incidental of what the newspapermen should wear. Such of "The Boys" as expected to attach themselves to the President's official entourage, said Secretary Everett Sanders, had best make ready their cutaway coats and pin-striped morning trousers. Silk toppers, patent leather shoes, spats and a stick would be the correct accessories. Nowhere, the inference was, is a greater premium set upon costume than at a Pan-American Congress...

What boots a Bermuda trip at the peril of permanent indigence, or long weeks of semi-nude labor in the single sculls when the golden brown reward can be reaped with five minutes a day under the Actinic glow?

So far as is known, his visit to Honolulu will be the first made to the Islands by any member of the Harvard Faculty in his official capacity...
...touch of Cherokee blood to remove the race prejudice. "Rogers is a statesman experienced, courageous, and safe and sound," said representative Howard in Congress in advocating his election. Certainly there is material in that body for the constructive wit of an enlivened Presidential spokesman. The Nation has honored his trip to Mexico. Liberty should endorse his grammatical standards, and his friend of Mayor Thompson his non-deference to ceremonial. In fact the only amusing thing about this projected campaign is the fact that it is not taken seriously...
