...Lake, 20 miles from the Lodge. Mrs. Coolidge and the secret-service men watched and applauded. The President caught ten. Another new sport was clay-pigeon shooting. The President was presented with some handsome shotguns and a set of traps for whirring out the dark four-inch discs with yellow circles on their backs. The secret-service men showed him how to stand at the butt, get set, cry "pull!" and blow the sailing "pigeons" to dusty smithereens. There was also baseball-the opening game of the annual tournament of the Head-of-the-Lakes semiprofessional baseball association. The field...
...Hideyo Noguchi, native of Japan, researcher in yellow fever for the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, died in West Africa, of yellow fever (TIME, May 21 et seq.). People called him a martyr to science. He left an estate of only $12,000. Last week, the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research announced that it would award a suitable pension to the widow of Martyr Noguchi. Another distinguished yellow fever worker is Dr. Aristides Agramonte, native of Havana, Cuba. He is the sole surviving member of the heroic Army Commission of the U. S., which in 1900 went into Cuba determined...

In her bizarre, red and yellow shop in East 57th Street, Manhatten, she displays many a cosmetic product made of water lilies. To the skeptical she offers a tour of inspection at the Long Island factory. Here she would exhibit row on row of half-opened water lilies, kept fresh until the exact moment when their essence may be impounded into creams, powders, lipsticks. Less aesthetic visitors could feast their eyes on tubs of cucumbers, great bunches of parsley leaves. Madame Rubinstein is justly proud...
...inferiors by far. What last week was their horror to learn that one of the night-club entertainers who had been compared to them was not only their artistic inferior but a member of the lowest class of civilized creatures, a common bargee, the U. S. counterpart of those yellow specimens who live on rafts and junks in the rivers of inferior China. Their annoyance was not unnatural; yet, had they known the true facts concerning the bargee-"Geisha-girl" their annoyance would have vanished and, since Geisha girls are intelligent, they would have been full of sympathy...
