“TIME brings all things”

At Annapolis, midshipmen cheered loudly into an amplifying telephone transmitter. The Naval Academy football eleven, playing Penn State at State College, Pa., heard the loud cheers clearly issuing from a broadcaster on the sidelines.

At Cateau, France, Henri Mailer, the Mayor, posted a bulletin on the façade of the Hôtel de Ville:

“So long as I am Mayor, persons of opposite sex will not be permitted to dance together. Boys must dance with boys, and girls with girls. If it is true that one dances for exercise, what difference will this rule make? If there is any reason other than exercise for dancing, dancing should not be allowed.”

At St. Etienne, France, a wealthy farmer was overcome by the fumes of grapes he was stamping in a huge vat. Two workmen were overcome when they went to aid him. The workmen were revived; but Oriol, the farmer, was dead when lifted from the vat.
