Resigned. Alfred Emanuel Smith, Manhattan realtor; from the directorate of Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. Reason: "I did not think it ethical to be director of the Metropolitan and at the same time be head of a real-estate company [Empire State Inc.] which was applying for a large loan from the Metropolitan Life with which to erect a building" [WaldorfAstoria building, Manhattan...
Five years ago the greyish, absorbent paper upon which the publishers of the 1,939 U. S. dailies spread the country's news, cost $75 per ton. Today it costs $62 per ton.

...hard to decide what causes the delay. Presumably the games started at the same time as in other years and it is safe to believe that the sun is not setting ahead of schedule. The sole reason, therefore, seems to be that the games took longer to play. But why longer? One dislikes to go into personalities, but in some of the games, particularly Saturday's with Holy Cross, Dr. T. K. Richards, that enthusiastic oarsman, appeared to be the most prominent Harvard athlete on the field. Hardly would the play become exciting, before Dr. Richards, ever vigilant, would detect...
