Three prominent Labor members of Parliament (clad in black silk knee breeches), together with the King and Queen and a number of other distinguished guests were entertained at dinner by Viscount and Lady Astor. It is the first time that Labor has dined with Royalty at a private residence. The Labor members present were: J. R. Clynes, president of the National Union of General Workers and former Leader of the Labor Party in the House-possibly the strongest labor man in the country; J. H. Thomas, General Secretary of the National Union of Railwaymen; and Philip Snowden, socialist member...

Baklanoff, as Manfredo, outdid his comrades with a smooth and telling voice: M. Crimi's Avito was less inspired, though agreeable, and M. Lazzari made a vigorous...
...Harvard, and at hundreds of other colleges and schools throughout this country. Go down to Soldiers Field, go to the football field, or the hockey field, and look over the players, or scan the faces in the stands or on the sidelines. How many pinched and starved and ill-clad students can you count on your campus or in your Yard? Go back a few years to the gold stars in the service flag that flew so bravely over your and my Alma Mater. Can we count the number that that "little school" back in England has a right...
