White of Manhattan, visiting in Los Angeles, hired an attorney, who obtained a writ to prevent the execution. A date was set for the trial before Judge J. Walter Hanby of Superior Court in Los Angeles County. He received thousands of letters and telegrams from all over the land, even from Europe.

Sullivan has lately found a difficult task in the problem of working the necessary power into the first 150-pound boat, and at the same time keeping within the weight limit.

The squad will leave for Philadelphia next Thursday, there to engage in the American...
...college buildings and equipment. For this work they are paid, their earnings increasing with their responsibilities. Early in their career they take a course in "Personal Accounting and Finance" which trains them to care for their money. Then Antioch sends them out into business. If after two weeks' trial it suits them, they must remain in the job a year. Many a big firm takes in Antioch students-Macy's, Marshall Field, Swift, Dennison Manufacturing Co., International Harvester, Detroit Edison, Cadillac, Ford, National City Bank, General Electric, Westinghouse, as well as local firms in Springfield and Dayton, Ohio...
