A nostalgic column reflects on loafers aiding storefronts and lampposts, moats for defense, and modern warding off solicitors. It contrasts bygone youth pathways with today’s travels to Europe, summer missteps, and calls for more scholarship for football prospects. It also notes agricultural messaging on beans and the strain of teaching large classes.
The article notes Mrs. Coolidge bears the burdens of White House life with tact and grace while the public underestimates the private toil. It suggests the president seeks retreat partly to relieve his wife’s heavy load and that women feel the pressures more keenly than men.
The final retirement of President Coolidge emphasizes the third term precedent, with many opinions on whether a third term would pose a menace. The burden of the office is heavy, and multiple presidents have found a second term taxing, deterring attempts at a fourth term.
At a Massachusetts Veterinary Association meeting, a humane operation to stop a barking dog's nuisance was demonstrated. The report suggests many may petition for relief from late night barking as residents seek quiet.
The article argues barking can be a nuisance yet defends a dog named Towzer as a symbol of courage and vigilance. It suggests neighbors should not overly silence loudspeakers and accepts dogs using their bark as a natural form of communication and protection.
A condensed reading from Elbert Hubbard urging total loyalty to one employer. The speaker argues to work for and defend the institution you serve, offering undivided service and condemning resignation only if you must criticize the group you belong to. He warns disparaging the employer harms oneself and business.
The main public road was designated by royal enactments to control policing. It was popularly known as the King's or Queen's highway, reflecting its royal status and policing authority.
A Glasgow Herald excerpt frames a dark domestic scene where a woman prepares for a visitor at six, twelve, and three, only to have the expected guest fail to appear until long after. The eerie cadence culminates in the man arriving at three in the morning, a twist that carries a grim, fatal undertone.
A jumble of humorous lines and captions opens with a dramatist and producer exchange about a rejected play, then moves through trivia and one liners. The piece notes aging venues, jokes about marriage and divorce, safety, and a remark about Illinois history with Lincoln.
A fragmented clipping mixes humor about appetite with a political jab on Al Smith and references to a seven month old heir, Republican loyalties, and a literary society turning to True Story. It also notes Illinois high school enrollment and quotes advice on speaking truthfully to avoid damage, attributed to a Queen Elizabeth era figure.
The Lincoln Highway was laid out in 1918 by the Lincoln Highway Association as the first interstate road linking coast to coast and serving as a memorial to Abraham Lincoln.
