A major food chain announces a three point consumer pledge via newspaper ads.

The piece argues mass retailer cooperation can curb inflation despite uncertain price levels.

A broad warning that postwar nations race to develop bigger and deadlier weapons including pilotless planes rockets molten lead guns and atomic bombs. The piece urges international understanding and restraint to avoid inevitable war and the choice between life and death for humanity.

Congressional leaders cheer a bill cutting standing committees while boosting pay for all elected officers. On January 1, 1914 salaries rise by 50 percent as Vice President, Speaker, senators and representatives receive higher wages, with administrative assistants at $8,000 yearly.
