Baldwin Soothing. Since the debate was waxing toward midnight, Premier Stanley Baldwin arose to turn on the Government's Conservative steam roller in defense of Sir Austen. Humorously he twitted Mr. George with "clothing himself in an air of lachrymosity" and basing his accusations upon "necromantic divinations of conversations which never occurred" (i.e., between Briand and Chamberlain).

Miss Moore as the mischievous and often penitent Irene starts as a poor but Irish heroine and frolics through to the arms of her handsome millionaire lover. She has her troubles and her tears, but they are happy troubles, like roller-skating home from naughty men in wicked cabarets; and smiling tears like Irish tears should be. George K.

The steam drum could be heated to 2,000 Fahrenheit by crude oil under compression burned within...

The new car will consist of a Ford tractor power-plant mounted on two revolving cylinders instead of wheels-something on the order of a steam roller. The machine has already proved its usefulness in deep snow previously unnavigable. One such machine has done the work which formerly required three teams. In Oregon a stage line uses a snow motor in its two daily round trips over the Mackenzie Pass between Eugene and Bend. Orders are already...
