In a Texas Press meeting speech, editor W. C. Edwards argues that idealism cannot guide ad choices. He notes publishers must balance profits, reader interests, and advertiser reliability, warning against overzealous moral policing while acknowledging liquor ads spark controversy in dry counties.
The speaker argues newspapers should close columns to indecency and graft, advocating a laissez faire stance that grants space to good material while rejecting harmful content. He stresses that laws permit many things, but editors should avoid content that is plainly corrupting or injurious.
The Revue de Monde Musulman notes how Tangier and Fez papers backed Sultan Abd el Aziz while El Taoun, rallying the Hafid faction, unleashes virulent anti rival press. Extracts show harsh rhetoric against rival editors as Abdul Aziz gains influence and editors face pressure.
Dr Herbert L Burrell of Boston told the American Medical Association that the medical profession and much of the public fear the press. He argued newspapers publish what the public wants to know and urged frank, honest cooperation with the media.
A Victorian sewing guide outlines a red Venetian costume with a velvet collar, a plain circular skirt, and a mushroom hat with rosettes. It also describes a muslin blouse with lace trimming, a draped chine silk blouse and rose cashmere dress with tucked details, and a net sleeve yoke.
A student argues that dainty dress requires time and discipline. She notes how neglecting small rituals like ribboned corset covers reflects on charm. The piece urges organizing life to find a quarter hour daily for self care and womanly presentation.
The article details accessories and styling for young women, including embroidered collar and cuff sets, lace jabots, waistcoats with box jackets, and vella for travel. It advises on protecting hats with chiffon veils, and notes footwear concerns for outdoor sport, suggesting talcum powder to reduce burning. It highlights buttoned skirts in English rep with pearl buttons and prices around $4.50 to $5.60.
The piece notes a revival of crosses in jewelry. Generations past favored gold or onyx crosses as brooches or pendants, later replaced by lockets. Now slim, often gold wire designs with diamonds or aquamarine are popular, with monograms and dates engraved on the back, echoing grandmother era black and gold enameled bracelets.
A stylish substitute for the tailored runabout is a jumper frock of light fabric with a short or long skirt, paired with a fancy blouse and a separate coordinating coat. A blue and white ensemble with a princesse jumper, Brussels blouse, and plain taffeta coat makes a smart look, protected by a rubberized coat and sun umbrella for sudden weather.
A description of a jacket shaped to be worn with a plaid skirt. The back sits loosely while the front hangs loose at the bust. It fastens with ten small buttons and cord loops. A decorative belt and a hat complete the ensemble.
The piece profiles Bill Burns, a young California lefty on Joe Cantillon's staff, noting his cold blooded demeanor, habit of napping between halves, and belief that rest aids pitching. It praises his consistency, speed over curves, late-game strength, and potential to become a top American League pitcher with more experience.
A fragmented report discusses players like Marquardt Wood and Geyer of Columbia in the early season. It mentions Ott possibly returning to Cleveland, Clay Curtis in trial, and Carr, Barbeau, Bush as top fielders while Armbruster Hayden Davin and Randall struggle with outfield spots.
Jimmy McAleer laments fans applauding at the wrong moment as he discusses the difficulty of catching pitches that rise and move in the air. He notes the challenge of adapting to balls changing trajectory and the frustration it causes among players and observers.
