...especial interest for Harvard men in "Dere Mable," as Edward Streeter and John Hodges, the co-authors, were both members of the class of 1914, and together wrote the Hasty Pudding Club show of that year. Streeter was president of the Lampoon while in College, and saw action in the Meuse-Argonne Sector during the war. Mrs. Hodges, who wrote the music, is well known in Boston as the author of several Vincent Club shows...
...players seem always to leak out. Those of von Jagow, von Tirpitz and Kapp cannot fail to stir up uneasy memories. It might be pertinent to recall that Lloyd George has not persuaded the Dutch to give up their royal guest. Amerongen is nearer to the scene of action than was Elba...
...ideal as an aid in cold weather starting; experiments made with a motor banked with snow, the air temperature being 11 degrees Fahrenheit, showed that an instantaneous start was made possible by the Fuelizer, perfect response to the throttle being gained in ten seconds. Another advantage is its automatic action; as the feed to the Fuelizer chamber is below the butterfly valve, suction through the pipe will be strong when the value is closed, as at low speeds, and will be less and less as the valve is opened and good running conditions result. Thus the Fuelizer helps when...
...holding forth for the complete damnation of the other. It would seem the part of wisdom, as well as discretion, to recognize that both will persist, and that, in fact, their fields of endeavor do not overlap. The moving picture, able to change the scene, or setting of the action in an instant, so that everything, the ship-wreck, the escape by aeroplane, the hanging of the villain, all take place before our very eyes, is undeniably the most effective means of presenting those stories of action which depend for their chief interest on the interplay of incident...

Instead of extravagant gratuities, of which a considerable part would inevitably be thoughtlessly received and thoughtlessly spent, wise legislation covering land settlement, home aid, and vocational training should be framed. Through such action those who served the country will become better citizens and greater producers, and through so benefiting them, without the expenditure of new billions, Congress will have done them justice...
