...Adolf Hitler had what psychologists call a split personality he could scarcely present himself more differently than he actually does to Germans on the one hand and to foreigners on the other. When addressing his own people on domestic issues Orator Hitler is alternately brawling and sentimental, repetitious, diffuse, coarse and ever more amazingly repetitious. His anxious care is to "talk down" to the stupidest German lout who can possibly be listening. With the "Little Man" ever in mind, Realmleader Hitler, the "Apotheosis of the Little Man," hammers away coarsely, repeating his points over & over again for hours...
With three Harvard blade teams scheduled to follow one another onto the New Haven ice against the traditional Yale opponents today, the Crimson's chances for a better than even split on the outcome looks bright. Last year as three Blue teams met three Crimson sextets on Boston ice it was the Jayvee and Freshman teams, winning by one-point margins, that partly retrieved the laurals which the Varsity lost by a similar margin; this year the Varsity is looked to as a tower of strength, well capable of offsetting any bad results that fickle fortune may throw...
...Princeton Invitation Meet in June.* Joe Mangan, one-time Cornell miler who defeated Cunningham last month, was recovering from influenza. These two were scarcely missed as a cheering crowd watched Venzke dodge Cunningham's heels. On the last straightaway, with 40 yd. to go, Venzke unleashed a spurt, split the tape 6 ft. in front.

Even non-partisan citizens wondered if it were customary at Stateville to pamper wealthy prisoners, place perverts in positions of authority...
...compared to $3,161,000 in 1934. Like many another 1935 recovery, the improvement in Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Co. depended largely on the 1935 boom in the motor industry. Libbey-Owens-Ford and Pittsburgh Plate Glass make some 90% of U. S. plate glass. They split this lion's share about evenly, 'but Libbey-Owens-Ford is the leader in safety glass production. Safety glass is made by sticking two ordinary sheets of glass together with a plastic binder. When struck, safety glass shatters like ordinary glass, but the binder holds the pieces in place, prevents flying...
