...stroke of ten last night, the inhabitanis of Lowell House were pleasantly surprised when five of Cambridge's most modern fire engines congregated in front of the Owl Club. After five minutes futile search for the blaze, the good news came that it was really in front of Leverett, so throwing their machines into gear, the smoke-eaters dashed backwards down Holyoke Street, across Mill Street, and thence to Memorial Drive, where they behold a pile of smoldering leaves, apparently not by mischievous urchins some thirty minutes earlier...

From Chicago hurried one of the littlest and ablest crook snatchers in the service-Melvin Purvis. Just past 30, Bureau Chief Purvis, University of South Carolina Law School graduate, helped with the Federal...

More serious in the long run is the wear & tear caused by cars crashing against each other. But in their desperate search for operating economies the railroads are running longer & longer trains. It is much cheaper to run one 150-car train than two of 75 cars, and to get the full benefits of Westinghouse's new brakes every car in a train must be equipped. Thus theoretically, because cars...
