  • Headline: H Cooper Triumphs at St. Paul Open. Impact: H. Cooper's golf victory not only established him as a local hero but also inadvertently inspired a future generation of couch potatoes to believe they could win at sports too, as long as they wore the right outfit.

  • Headline: INVENT SAFE SAFETY PIN.; Washington State Men Devise It to Lessen Danger to Babies..

  • Headline: BAYSIDE SAILORS BEATEN.; Lose to Westchester -- Team In Star Class Match on the Sound..

  • Headline: LOVE OF MAN FOUND A STEP TO REAL FAITH; Dr. Newton Says True Lovers of God 'Search for the Secrets of the Unseen.'.

Fact: Fun fact: The first pick-up line was probably something like, 'Did it hurt when you fell from grace?'.
  • Headline: AVERAGE MAN' CENSURED.; Dr. Bell, at St. John's Cathedral, Finds Him a Materialist..

Fact: Did you know that the average man is actually just a collection of the most boring traits from every human being? Congratulations!.
  • Headline: CATHOLIC PRIESTS SILENT ON NAZI-CHURCH DISPUTE, EXCEPT IN SOUTH GERMANY; CRITICISM READ IN BADEN.

  • Headline: DEWEY INQUIRY FOE PLANS SECOND SUIT; New Action Will Seek to Bar City From Raising Funds for Racket Drive.. Impact: The Dewey inquiry and the plan for a second suit demonstrated the brilliance of legal loopholes, paving the way for future lawyers to charge exorbitant fees while arguing over things that could be solved with a simple chat.
