Henry Ford: "I offered Colonel Oldroyd $50,000 for his collection of 3,000 articles that belonged to Abraham Lincoln. Later I saw in the papers that Colonel Oldroyd believes the collection should be owned and protected by the Government. Is this another Muscle Shoals ? "

President Li of China: " I found it impossible to believe my ears when I heard my fifth child say: 'Papa, I can't hear you! I am not going to talk any more! ' to me over the wireless telephone. I called up my home by telephone to make sure that there had been no trick. The whole affair rather upset me."

John Drew: " Dartmouth College is going to make me a Doctor of Literature on June 19."

Francis Ouimet: " I was the last American golfer to be eliminated from the British Amateur Championship Tournament. Roger Wethered beat me.
