...dull week for the President. At press conference on Tuesday he had next to nothing to say. This seemed too bad in view of the fact that there was present an unusual number of foreign correspondents, especially British-arrived in Washington to watch what Congress does about the Kellogg Treaty and the cruiser-building bill, and to get background for the inauguration of the Hoover regime. President Coolidge took the opportunity to explain to the foreigners that the reason he has the U.

...once unshakable bond connecting Law students, midnight oil, and lack of time for activities has been at least slightly loosened by the injection of a competitive key into the dry labors of the men from the North. The old dogma of the graduate's dull life may still hold firmly, but a Harvard-Yale debate by these same graduates gives an opening for its refutation...

In 1921, Year of Deflation, Sears Roebuck admitted an operating loss of $16,435,468. And Montgomery Ward showed a loss of $9,887,396. But in 1922, both companies declared net profits of about $5,000,000. By 1927, Montgomery Ward could show profits of $13,127,431, and Sears Roebuck nearly twice as much...
