Fragmented wartime column with scattered lines
A jumble of remarks touches on masks of women, debt warnings to William, the Kaiser’s vow to fight to the end, and a desire for free rides. The narrator notes an old print shop appearing powerful amid the confusion.
Late starts and quick finishes mark modern workdays
The piece notes a shift in work hours from eight to nine or ten start times, aided by labor-saving devices like dictaphones and typewriters.
