...relax and partially return to their original shorter dimensions. This phenomenon has pained no one so much as the shirt-wearing male -that is, until 1928. That year Sanford Lockwood Cluett of Cluett, Peabody & Co. invented Sanforizing-a mechanical method of preshrinking cloth back to its true dimensions. No wearer of even a $2 shirt now need tug apoplectically to button his collar after it has been washed...
...Wearer of a daily carnation, owner of a quarter-million-dollar yacht, Lord Camrose is a Conservative with his eyes open, plays cricket with the Government, pursues a middle course in his papers and keeps his personality out of them. In a merciless four-year war for supremacy in the provinces, fought paper by paper, Lord Camrose trounced beefy Lord Rothermere, whose publications are often used as personal sounding boards.

On his daily horseback rides through Copenhagen, the King of Denmark nods to civilians, salutes ladies, chats with small boys or truckdrivers- and obeys traffic lights-not with the self-conscious condescension that is forced upon British royalty but with...
...practical enough for a Rochester shoe manufacturer, Armstrong & Co.. to spend $150,000 on: 1) support of Dr. Schwartz's gait laboratory; 2) maintenance of an extension gait laboratory in its own factory; 3) manufacture of what Dr. Schwartz calls "balance-in-motion" shoes which "compel the wearer to walk naturally." When properly fitted, "they correct flat feet, obliterate bunions and callouses, alleviate sacroiliac pain, and actually, in certain cases, cure mental derangements by removing strains from the muscles and tendons of locomotion...
