...work are a rigid simplicity of line; draperies falling in straight close folds; hard, grim faces; heads sunk low or crammed awkwardly into chests; abnormally long noses; cramped postures; elongated forms. Many of these characteristics may be traced to the influence of Metzner. Mestrovic's Madonnas are a distinct type, almost a formula. They are a queer, rigid combination of an almost Eastern tradition with Western realism. Somber, stiff figures, a little wistful, a little pathetic, done with long, simple, vigorous lines. Mestrovic's chief claim to consideration is not intellectual. He is ever emotional. He is conspicuously sculptural...
...branch of that institution "in which all of the beds are to be devoted to the care of persons of the middle class." It has been found that under present conditions in medicine the best medical attention is secured by the rich who are able to command the best type of service, and by the poor to whom such service is frequently given gratis...
...business administration have rigged up great bulletin boards, on which are posted at regular intervals, commendable--we suppose--samples of advertising matter. Here are flaunted before the eyes of all passers-by, whether they would see them or no, placards for this brand of shoe polish or that type of manure spreader.

However "commendable" they may be on the signboard, in the street car, or on the pages of the Saturday Evening Post...
...wing of 87 ft. 6 in., a chord or width of 14 ft., a total area in its biplane wings of 2,400 sq. ft. The sturdy 60-ft. hull, built of the wonderfully light and strong duralumin, is lighter and less liable to soakage than the wooden-hull type of construction it Displaces, can keep afloat in the roughest sea. The wings, while fabric-covered, are also metal in their structure. Two huge Packard engines of 800 horsepower each revolve at 2,200 times a minute-hence their large power for comparatively small weight-while the propellers are geared...
...unthinkable and impossible to imagine that the real Americans of the type who made this country, such as Washington, Franklin, Jefferson or Monroe, or the devout and God-fearing Pilgrims who preceded them, should voluntarily sit and watch corpulent Italian, Spanish, French or German aliens and a few Americans, trained in Europe and alienized, enacting, upon the stage, scenes of Latin passion, seductions, betrayals, murders, assassinations, insanity, jealousy, disease and death. The horrible nature of operatic librettos is intensified by poignant, passionate music, acting and singing. The American mind, even in its worst phases, cannot produce a genuine grand opera...
