These women are of high calibre, capably accommodate the stranded youngster and firmly reject the leering bummer who wants a ticket "from Manhattan to San Francisco." Him they send to lodging houses or other social service societies. The child, girl or woman, if relatives cannot be reached immediately, is taken to the Guest House of the Manhattan Society on E. 43rd St. If traveling funds are needed, the Manhattan agent wires to relatives or to the Travelers Aid worker in the far city...
...present, indeed, the Committee is vested with discretion to reject a candidate who applies under any system if they feel that such a candidate is not prepared to meet the responsibilities of college membership. We can no longer afford to accept the negative testimony that a boy has submitted himself to instruction and has led a life free from obvious iniquity.

Eventually the vote was taken on the resolution censuring the Attorney General for neglecting to press the aluminum investigation. Twenty-six Democrats and seven Progressive Republicans voted to agree to the report 33 ayes. Thirty-four Republicans and two Democrats (Blease and Bruce) voted to reject the report 36 noes.

Internationalism, Socialism, Bolshevism, Syndicalism, Paciflism--all these new isms of the last century have affected only an inconsiderable minority of the young men and women who make up the German student body...
...Rumors were shelved, as the Finance Committee of the Chamber played a concrete trick on M. Briand by voting to reject the keynote of the Briand-Doumer measure, the increased "indirect taxation." This was regarded as a body blow to Briand, since in order to overrule the Committee he would have to go before the Chamber on this one point alone. Nobody believed that even M. Briand could get the Deputies to stick an obnoxious tax stamp squarely on their constituents' cigarets without the enveloping camouflage offered by the Briand-Doumer scheme as a whole. The action of the Committee...
