This week the Fenway is offering "Steel Preferred" with a cast ranging all the way from Hobart Bosworth to Ben Turpin. Just how the latter leaked into the picture is still more or less of a mystery.

Patrick, Professor of Chemistry at Johns Hopkins University, has been prophesying the universal use of his product in steelmaking, oilrefining, refrigeration.

...success, Mr. Munsey first fingered the newspaper business by starting a tabloid, the New York Daily Continent. It died quickly and was unceremoniously buried. The day of tabloids was not yet. Ten years later Mr. Munsey?now rich by reason of chain groceries and fortunate buying of U. S. Steel Common besides prosperous publishing?bought the Washington Times, and here began an unsuccessful period of experimentation. As Mr. Munsey expressed his dream...
