Today -100: February 16, 1926: Craven cowards are the worst kind of cowards

The roof of the White House is in serious need of repair, but Coolidge refuses to spend the $500,000 it would cost to prevent it falling in during, say, a snowstorm. But has he even considered building a big beautiful ballroom? HAS HE?

An arrest warrant is issued for the Earl of Craven for deportation on the grounds of “moral turpitude” for illicit fucking. Did Immigration wait until after he’d left for Canada? Possibly.

Meanwhile, the Labor Dept, which controls Immigration, holds a hearing for 

Vera, Countess Cathcart’s appeal of her own deportation order. Delegations from the National Woman’s Party and the ACLU are denied entry.

Alliterative Headline of the Day -100:

What was your first clue?

T.E. Lawrence (of Arabia) will publish Seven Pillars of Wisdom (under the title Revolt in the Desert) in a limited edition at a cost of $150. He had to rewrite the whole thing after leaving the first draft on a train.
