...would also knock out the $104,000,000 now being paid to veterans who came through the World War unscathed. In that conflict 234,879 U. S. soldiers were gassed or wounded, yet 331,693 are now drawing pay for war hurts. This occurs because Congress has given them un scientific presumptions that their disabilities are service-connected. By putting compensation back on a war basis, N. E. L. would save another $125,000,000. It would limit free hospitalization to veterans who could boast of real war hurts, halve ad ministrative costs by clearing the bounty rolls, weed...
Fear v. Love. N. E. L. is new and un tried in the highly competitive field of national legislation. Not until it can pro duce a lobby as effective as the Legion's to displace fear of the veteran with love of the taxpayer in the Congressional heart can it succeed...
...against his predecessors. All critics agree that Audubon's beautiful plates take liberties. Many of his birds are wrong in proportion, action, color and anatomy as well as in the conventional classification of Audubon's time (particularly the flycatcher family).

...five successive days, was invented by the romantic Swedes, has invariably been won by one. The Swede who won last week, Count Johan Gabriel Oxenstierna, did it without placing first in any of the five events. He was fourth in the riding (on unfamiliar mounts over 500 metres of un familiar terrain), 14th in fencing (with buttoned épees), second in the pistol shoot (at disappearing targets with a 45-calibre revolver), fifth in the swimming, seventh in running 4,000 metres across rough country. Point total...
Longtime head of American Steel Foundries, President Lament well knows the highly competitive steel business. Un like his predecessors he will devote all his time to the Institute, will receive a large salary. Hitherto the Institute has played a passive role, gathering statis tics, urging standardized practices. Twice yearly its members convene to hear papers and, until his death, the scoldings (for price-cutting) of U. S. Steel's Judge Elbert Henry Gary. But with mills running at a fraction of capacity, steel companies have fought like jackals for what busi ness there was. Price-cutting, price-shading, concessions...
