Crossroads of Empire. All shipping from the Mediterranean and India to the Far East, all shipping from Britain to Australia must pass through the narrow Strait of Malacca, which was controlled by the Portuguese, the Dutch, and finally by the British after 1824. But the island of Singapore (in Malayan "Lion City''), a feverish mush of mangrove roots and black mud 27 miles long by 14 broad, was practically uninhabited until far-sighted Sir Stamford Raffles set up a trading settlement on the island in 1819. had the whole island ceded to the East India Co. five years...
Woodhull scored the first goal of the game at 1:53 of the second period on a perfect pass from Fraker who had carried deep into Crimson territory. a moment later Harding miraculously picked up Emerson's long diagonal pass at the Tiger line and backhanded the disk past Coleman after outskating the Princeton points.

Since 1919 the industry has paid almost $1,000,000, at the set reviewing-charge rate of $6.25 a reel, for the sweeping imprimatur, "Passed by the National Board of Review." To better cinema groups, women's clubs, educational organizations and to some State and municipal legislatures, this O. K. has signified a tested product.
