Satirical quips from old papers on marriage and gadgets
A collection of short, sharp witticisms from early newspapers. A married man laments ten years of efforts to please his wife before vowing to shoot himself. A safe airship quip mocks the claim of absolute safety by noting it has not left the ground. A tease about call money defines it as what you pay for phone bills, reflecting humorous era shorthand.

About 150 of 200 Chicago strikebreakers employed as freight handlers at the Hamline transfer walked out.

Seventy five held an indignation meeting after transport to Chicago was denied, many University of Chicago students among them. They sought aid from Labor Commissioner W F Houck at the state capitol.

Legislators Map Session Program For Extra Session
Informal conferences between house and senate leaders outline a targeted legislative agenda for the extra session. The senate will drop its era long stance to include a rail road gross earnings tax increase and support federal constitutional amendments on income tax and direct senate elections if the house agrees. In exchange the house will reject reapportionment and withhold additional bills. The agreed slate includes statewide primary, corrupt practices act, rail earnings tax, and ratification of two constitutional amendments.
