...master of thumping anthems rather than gracious melody.

...bitterest opponents was Assistant Super intendent Henry Joseph Gerling, who thought school savings should be insured. The savings, uninsured, were parceled out among twelve St. Louis banks.

Last week, after reluctantly dismissing Greyhound Southball Moonstone, Collie Bellhaven Black Lucason, Sealyham Gunside Babs of Hollybourne and Pomeranian Wonder Son, Judge Alfred B. Maclay ordered Duke and Mrs. M. Hartley Dodge's fine white-&-liver pointer Nancolleth Marquis to trot around the ring again. He had them pose once more and then gave first prize-a rosette and a silver bowl-to Duke's owner...
