However, we all enjoyed immensely "The March of Time" and it was the only radio program we heard on the entire voyage. W. J. MCDONALD Boston, Mass...
Sanders & Hanna. The Maine election upset every intelligent Republican except plump, easy-going Everett Sanders. Chairman of the Republican National Committee. His job is to direct a national contest which in its economic outlines and social undertones has been compared to the presidential campaign of 1896.

Bernard went over to speak to Cochet. He seemed to be apologizing for his errors, promising to do better. Cochet smiled and the Frenchmen, piling up points as Bell & Mangin tired, won in five sets...
...might have to spend the rest of her life in a harem, but boredom, not shame, helped her to escape, with the help of a pure-minded U. S. sanitary engineer. Finally just a year late, she reached north Oxford at last. Aunt Ermyntrude was not at all upset, was still expecting her. Without once calling a spade a spade, Author Laver manages to give the impression that a good deal of spadework has been done...
