Everyone knows that Ahmed Fuad I is a British puppet and unpopular in Egypt, but honor done to him is still honor done to the Egyptian masses who must in the end attain their destiny and choose what nations to call "friend." While King Fuad was in residence with Italian royalty, he and his entire suite were required to enact a quaint mummery so that he might call at the Vatican. Etiquette forbids that any person shall pass directly between a residence of the King of Italy and the residence of the Pope. Therefore King Fuad was obliged to "reside...

Waldemar Karl Badke, towheaded German, "donkeyman,"* got on especially well with her. Every one aboard, including Mr. Battice, knew that they were great friends.

The motor-loving young men of Princeton baited him by all means-by roller-skating noisily, by driving horse-and-buggies, by wearing placards. The Princetonian (campus daily) headlined in its burlesque issue: "GAUSS'S SHAME." A senior, George Lambert, sporting scion of Listerine (mouth wash, etc.), inspired university admiration by bringing to town an airplane and droning over the campus in it. Airplanes were not mentioned in the Gaussian edict against motor vehicles...
