...most surprising fact about the U. S. artificial limb business is not that it is a $6,000,000 industry engaging 300 firms, but that no less than 58% of U. S. manufacturers wear artificial limbs themselves. Last week when the Association of Limb Manufacturers of America met on the 18th floor of Chicago's La Salle Hotel for their 18th annua convention, more than half of the 100-odd delegates were able simultaneously to represent their companies and their stock in trade. During the two-day 'conclave activity was evenly divided between discussing the serious problems before...
Hazing is going out of fashion everywhere, and here in Cambridge no one theoretically knows a man of '41 from a Senior, but back in 1737 every one could tell a Freshman--because he couldn't wear a hat. In later days, the rule was slackened a little, and if the first year man in question had to go out in a blizzard, he sometimes risked just a cap--and usually got away with...
Died. Edward Albert Filene, 77, millionaire Boston merchant and amateur economist; of lobar pneumonia; in Paris, France.

If the ball goes out of bounds on the first kick, the receiving team will put it into play either on its 35-yd. line or at the point where it went out. If a player kicks a free ball this season, it will automatically go to the opposing team...
...Methodist churches, the Episcopal Church does not go in much for the sort of homely activity represented by religious plays or pageants. The typical Episcopal vestryman, often a banker or substantial businessman, would feel queer in the false beard and cheesecloth garment which a small-town Presbyterian may wear with pleasure. Doubly notable, therefore, was an Episcopal pageant put on last week in Philadelphia's big Convention Hall-biggest show ever performed by U. S. Episcopalians, and designed to quicken Episcopal interest in missions. It was called The Drama of Missions to Spread Throughout the World the Glory...
