Odds and Ends from a Distant Era Scene
A collage of global notes surveys industry, travel and labor. It cites 515000 population in Los Angeles, cocoa fodder in France, a prehistoric copper mine in Armenia, suspensions between Oakland and San Francisco, and a scarlet green and blue British guard. It mentions no nickel production in the U.S. and London’s cubist notepaper trend. It notes rising farm wages and stalling seamen wages, Belgian automobile voyages, Oxford expeditions, Alpine rail sledding, Cornwall tin washing, Chicago wage earners, a Kansas City club washing for charity, world distances from New York to Sydney, and a law banning employer demands to exclude labor union membership as a condition of employment.

Notable Visitors and Local Notes at West Baden Springs
Irene Allen testifies in a petit larceny case in the circuit court. On return, she visits the famed West Baden Springs resort. The city hosts visiting figures including Jade Ham, Hugh O Neall, Nath William Brentley, and others, with long-standing annual arrivals. Public shows by a traveling company draw patronage but face criticism for enshrouding the public with sensational displays. Comparisons show naval academy athletes trailing nonathletes in recent tests, while railway workers face new Greek law restrictions.
