Comment on the News by H N Brandall
A Chicago American Legion post hosts Jack Johnson as guest of honor to condemn Jack Dempsey as a war slacker. The piece argues Dempsey is a clean white man while Johnson is a degenerate figure, and warns Legion pressure to block Dempsey from fighting. It also discusses Independence Iowa motion picture ordinance aiming to bar Sunday cinema and the broader blame of films for youth crime with a call to preserve moral tone.

Origin of Common Tools Traces to Remote Ages
The Smithsonian Annual notes that scissors first appeared about 400 B C in Italy, with later refinements for easier grasp. Bronze age chisels and saws evolved, drill teeth like carborundum used in Egypt 6,600 years ago, and diamond drills produced clean cores. The screw concept existed in Greece long before nuts and screws for fastening appeared. Egyptian shears could detach for sharpening, a feature not common today.
