Nothing beyond pure benevolence or consideration on the part of the employers can bring any alleviation of the workers position, and the operators in the sloe industry are not widely noted for such philanthropy. In short, strikes in this region are hardly more than brave gestures, yet the Massachusetts trouble merely reflects the country-wide stalemate between Capital and Labor, satisfactory to neither party...
Pilot Kinney swung his plane into a wide counterclockwise turn, simultaneously switched his radio to a different frequency. Presently his earphones and instrument dial picked up beacon signals again. These came from the runway beacon, which is simply a miniature of the big airway beacon.

Yale's endeavors to pull the game out of the fire were useless, and the laurels went to Harvard...
...complications and extravagances of Victor Herbert light operas are perhaps surpassed only by the antics of Congress. The current offering of the Copley Light Opera Company, "The Red Mill" presents a wide collection of songs and slapstick set against an incongruous background of Dutch windmills, green fields, and canals...
