...professor of Social Ethics at Tufts College and leader of the Boston Community Church, stated yesterday in a discussion with a CRIMSON representative. Professor Skinner, who for some time has been a student of the Legion, explained. "They form a large body of men who have been through a heroic but terrible experience. Whether they realize it or not, fear of war is burned into them. Their first instinct is to prepare against another war, which puts their emphasis on militarism. They tend to wave the flag at radicalism and the menace of war, instead of seeking to study...
Bashan, "a short-haired setter" with a broad hint of Airedale, is a dog of engaging but not heroic character. A great actor, he hates to be hurt. "If he happened to have scratched his belly a little in vaulting over the fence, or sprained his foot, I have been treated to an antique hero's chorus, a three-legged limping approach, an uncontrollable wailing and self-lamentation." Bashan pretends to be a mighty hunter before his lord, actually never kills any thing but field mice, though he thinks him self a ravening threat to rabbits. He once caught...
...from after breakfast until dusk, reading Tolstoy's "War and Peace." Autumn loured in cloudy skies and mourned in the gusty wind, steps scffed along the board-walks, football songs were whistled, the oak door slammed; it all sounded as from a dream.

Newsman Russell admits the Western screen is encouraging Japs to restrain from their heroic belly-cutting, BUT (here Mr. Milliken forgot to quote) AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHER FORMS OF SUICIDE. "A Japanese authority who has studied suicide in his country." says Mr. Russell . . . "blames the movies for the increase of other forms of self-despatch...
...accept the easy way. "I am ready," he said, "to do all possible, institute every economy, shoulder every responsibility and stand every criticism, to carry on." Treasurer Dumaine, onetime mill boy, has been called "a past master in New England economy." His economies at Amoskeag were heroic. Amoskeag messenger boys now furnish their own bicycles; Amoskeag trucks, all except three, stay inside the plant walls to avoid the necessity for license plates. With costs at the rockiest of rock bottoms, Treasurer Dumaine has also modernized production and selling. The new rayon mill turned out 800,000 Ib. of rayon last...
