Negro Alderman A. B. Whitlock did not insinuate that Ku Klux Klannism lay behind the Emerson strike. Instead, he firmly said: "This [appropriation] is a useless expenditure of the taxpayers' money. We have plenty of room now for all the schoolchildren of Gary. This money [$15,000] wouldn't equip a shack, and the site you propose is in a wilderness. There are no streets, no sewers, no facilities there...

...plays the part of an untraditional heroine; a faithless woman; harder, colder this time than her Iris March of The Green Hat. She is one of the few great players in the land who will risk what is known as the sympathy of the spectators by playing women they wouldn't want around the house. Again she shows her genius in a character they dislike, yet makes them like...

Still I was undecided about the CRIMSON--they wouldn't accept my contributions to the Confidential Guide to College Courses, giving me some silly excuse about having no money to defend libel suits.

I think it is, too, and that's why I am writing you about this. TIME examines everything. Did you see an advertisement in the New York Times last week from a clothing store, De Pinna's?

...five minutes.* Where TIME lay down was in not printing some of the real sport news of the week. Why not tell how Babe Ruth socked his 37th, 38th and 39th and 40th homers? Why not write up some of the good fights ? How about the races?
