...wishes of the wholly Irish executive council. Except in the case of actual invasion the Irish Free State is not committed to active participation in any British war without the consent of its own Parliament. At the same time the British navy continues to protect the Irish coast. So much leeway is allowed under the new constitution, that even a tariff barrier may be raised by Ireland against British goods...
...navy is in much the same plight. Its personnel has been so reduced that it has to send its ships to the "graveyard" for de-commissioned vessels. On October 21, twelve destroyers, representing the 12th and 37th divisions, just returned from two years of patrol duty on the China coast, were added to the twenty-two vessels already in the "graveyard" at San Diego bay, representing in all a total cost of construction...
...early prayer books of New England and the Harvard histories fill us with desire to handle the scared relics. Those were the days when nobody roomed on the Gold Coast; those were the times when Richard Walach stopped at Mr. Holmes' and Josiah Mood lodges at Mrs. Quibbs'. Why is it that Increase Mather's Bible is two inches thicker than any other extant Bible?

...present Intercollegiate record of 165 feet 3-4 inches made in the hammer-throw, in 1915 by H. P. Bailey of Maine, is in danger if reports from the coast are true. Merchant, California's start weight man, has been credited with over 171 feet and he should win the event with comparative case if he can duplicate this feat. Tootel of Bowdoin, Baker of Princeton, and Brown of the University are the outstanding Easterners here. While Baker defeated Brown at the Penn relays, the Crimson captain avenged himself in the dual meet Saturday and if he can stay within...
...spectators will be given a chance to watch the Westerners, who are practically in a class by themselves in this event. Legendre of Georgetown is the East's most consistent representative, but his throws of 170 and 174 feet pale in comparison to the reports from the coast which credit Hanner of Leland Stanford with several practice marks of over 205 feet. Newfeld of California has a record of 194 feet 5 1-2 inches, the best mark that has been made in a regular competition, while Bronder of Pennsylvania is said to have made a throw exceeding 180 feet...
