...quiet optimist, a vigorous advocate of more and still more loans from abroad, "loans which fertilize German industry as the waters of the Nile fertilize the parched soil of Egypt." As a "borrowing man" he enjoys the thoroughgoing contempt of Reichsbank President Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, always a "bear" on German futures, who constantly grumbles that the Fatherland has already borrowed far too much...
...Wisconsin sheepherding collie who disliked the White House elevator, who stole dainties from the Red Room tea table and was ever to be seen at the President's side. One Thanksgiving Rebecca, raccoon, was sent to the White House to be eaten, but the First Lady could not bear to kill her, built a pen, found a mate (Reuben) who disliked Rebecca and eventually escaped. When President Coolidge summered at Black Hills he was presented with a white collie puppy.

But if the characters are not alive, Author Bolitho's writing does live, very noisily indeed. A journalist, 39, he is a regular colyumist on the New York World, a resident...
From present building plans it seems likely that the college will soon have enough rooming facilities for all of its students. It seems likely, moreover, that a certain amount of suasion, if not compulsion, will be brought to bear to have students reside in Houses and Dormitories exclusively. If this should be the case, what are the clubs going to do with their clubhouses, which represent an investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars? Probably very few of these houses are endowed, and even those that are owned outright will be a terrific financial burden to their owners...
