...Osaka, Japan, one Senichiro Tokuriki, shoemaker, lived with his wife until his two sons, Kazuo and Saburo, had reached the age of 18 and 19 respectively. Then, thinking that they were doubtless competent to fend for the woman, he chose another wife (a very lotus blossom for fairness) and moved away. The mother grieved herself to the edge of death, and the two lads, seeing that it was no laughing matter, took counsel together. They thought of a way to make their father come home. One night when there was no moon they stole out of the house and made...

...like Vesuvius, the Union relapses only to appear once more. Un question ably it has a place in the academic world and all that it needs to do to claim it is again to burst forth in forensic splendor. The subject of "Is Harvard Collegiate?" will doubtless provide sufficient scope for all those with latent oratorical ambitions and yield much interest and entertainment for those who come to scoff or pray.

...Doubtless the Post was justified in refusing the article before (if it did so) and publishing it now, for from its text it is obvious that Commander Lansdowne was not a professional writer, for his manner is stilted. He is somewhat given to making obvious remarks, and before his death it was impossible to appreciate the last line of the article: "What the morrow may bring forth...

...text of the article will doubtless be recorded by the President's Air Inquiry Board, and the Court cf Inquiry into the Shenandoah disaster will probably make much of it. In speaking the praises of dirigibles (which is the major function of the article), Commander Lansdowne himself apparently answered the statements of those who said that he feared to go on the fatal trip on account of weather conditions. The article said: -"The airplane is now reasonably safe, and the great airship inflated with helium is beyond a doubt the safest method of travel known to man, taking precedence...
