Rep. W.D. Upshaw (D-Georgia) slaps Robert Choate, the Washington correspondent of The Boston Herald, for writing that in a congressional debate on Prohibition (Upshaw’s for it), he got so excited that he forgot to use his trademark crutches. The slap came after Upshaw complained that people would think he was a faker and Choate responded “And I think you are one.” He’s not the only one who thinks that.

Dr. Fritz Pfuffer, a Viennese ear doctor, says city noises are making people’s ears bigger. In a couple of generations, they’ll be “like a dachshund’s.”
