...late Frank Andrews Munsey. Everyone knows McChire's was founded by Samuel Sidney McClure, although many are not aware that he is still alive, aged 75. Who was McCall? James McCall, Scottish tailor who arrived in the U. S. in the 1860's and started a pattern business, never knew there was a magazine named for him. In 1885 his company started publishing monthly an eight-page pamphlet of fashion notes, called The Queen. James McCall died that year. In 1891 the pamphlet was renamed The Queen of Fashion. Three years later it was a 20-page magazine...
...hydrogen" balls to the "oxygen" ball with the springs and set the model shaking by means of a motor. At most speeds they saw little motion in their "molecule." There were, however, three speeds at which definite vibrations developed. The balls representing the atoms moved over paths of a pattern characteristic for each speed. To the delight of Messrs. Kettering, Andrews & Shutts, the relation of the speeds to one another coincided almost exactly with the relation of vibration lines in the spectrogram of water. Thereupon they built "molecules" of benzene, toluene, carbon tetrachloride and methane and found that they worked...
...WATER - P. G. Wodehouse - Doubleday, Doran. Like Amos 'n' Andy, Charles Dickens and other classics, Author Pelham Grenville Wodehouse some time ago began to pay the penalty of fame.

S. vaudeville gags, funny sheets, Walter-Winchellisms. It is a tribute to his skill as a merciless horser of musi-comedy scenes, dialog and situation that he is still able to raise many a horse laugh...
...telling him to proceed to Bremen. There an engineer from the Artiglio II gave him minute descriptions of two safes to be opened by divers 400 ft. below the surface. A third had been opened with an acetylene torch, damaging the contents. Courtney gave the engineer a "template" (outline pattern) of what the lock probably was like, where it should be drilled. His templates opened one safe, failed on the other until he had flown to Calais and drawn another. His employers told him to come back in August when there would be more locks to pick. Then Locksmith Courtney...
Because Aiken is much favored by Eastern socialites, the school attracted many a notable daughter, fell into the familiar pattern of select schools, emulating notably Virginia's Foxcroft. There are hockey and lacrosse; horses may be brought to Fermata or hired there; able girls go drag hunting. But Fermata is not scholastically distinguished. Possibly it did not care to be; between 1923 and 1927 only three girls took College Board examinations...
