...send Canadians to Kelly Field for training I wonder why it was necessary to bring hundreds of American flyers to Leaside and Armour Heights (just outside Toronto) when the U. S. entered the War? The reason the flyers themselves gave was that there was no flying field of equal facilities in the U. S. Such flyers commonly spent two weeks training on the Canadian fields before they went to France. Armour Heights was, I believe, rated as the finest stunt flying field on this continent for at least a couple of years. Certainly I have never seen more breath-taking...
...vapor diffuses between the electrodes and permits the current to jump across as a brilliant mercury arc. The combined light of arc, electrodes and filament appears much whiter than Mazda "daylight" bulbs. It produces 40 times as much humanly beneficial ultraviolet radiation as does the midday midsummer sun of equal intensity...
...that he would walk through the streets in a trance, laugh at the wrong times, and speak out of turn. Once for two days he neglected his law business while he sat, surrounded by compasses, calculations and rulers, trying to square the circle. He split rails and infinitives with equal ease: when he had written his letter of acceptance of the Republican nomination in 1860, he took it to the Springfield superintendent of education, who pointed out a split infinitive. Said Lincoln: "So you think I better put those two little fellows...

Indeed, a hat in the last stages of dilapidation can be explained away as due to "indifference", but it is difficult with equal propriety to dismiss a soiled and much trampled-over topcoat as caused by a similar disregard for convention...
...course necessitate some lineup shifts, but just what should be done is open to question. Observations at practice sesions and games have revealed that the shift should come on the second line, while the first combination of Putnam, Garrison, and Stubbs would remain intact. A relief line of equal if not greater strength is needed and Coach Stubbs seems to have the material for such a trio. With Wood retaining his pivot post, Giddens would naturally take his old berth on right wing. This leaves the other players to fight it out for the left wing post. In a couple...
