...been a judge. As able a Big-Desk man as his young predecessor he is more the type of man who will stay at a Big Desk-directing the National Guard, organizing the Reserves, mobilizing industry, ordnance, munitions as provided by the National Defense Act. (TIME, Jan. 9). When younger men go off to put "experience in Washington" to their own good uses, a Col. Robbins may be depended on by Cabinetmakers as a permanent sort of timber for underpinning...

And the fact that no compulsion is placed...
...Thus those of 1852 and 1860 are titled "Progress of Bloomerism or a Complete Change" and "Swimming for Ladies." The figures depicted by the engraver John Leech show that though the costumes of this day would today be conspicuous for their superfluity, at that time they represented what the younger generation would do despite the protests of their more staid mothers and grandmothers...
