Page 25 has a one column heading: "CAPTAIN SVERDRUP DIES AT AGE OF 76" with subheads. (see) I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Page 18 has a one column heading: "EINSTEIN IN TRIBUTE TO KEPLER'S WORK" with subheads. (see)
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 52 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions.
