The Great Lindbergh!

The  great  Charles  Lindbergh  caused  us  at  Life  magazine   to   do   the   jitterbug  when  he   announced  that  he’s  making  another   go  around  at   the   cross  Atlantic   nonstop   flight!  With   his   innovations   in  technology,   he   has   made   flight   a   possibility   for   man.   We   met   him   at   the   Greendale   bar,   the  swankiest  joint  in  town,  to  collect  the  details.  The  Spirit  of  St.  Louis  will  take  flight  in  the  next  two  to  three  months  and  consist  of  a  nonstop  solo  flight  across  the  Atlantic.  This  spectacle  will  be  open  to  any  viewers!  

Come  see  man  take  flight!  

Charles  Lindbergh  and  his  plane,  the  Spirit  of  St.  Louis  

  At   the   end   of  World  War  I  there  was  a   strong   movement  against  Communism,  in  which   many   laws   and  people’s   rights   were  broken   deliberately   by  the   government.  Through  out  this  trying  time  within   the  1920’s  many   people   shouted  out   against   it,   fought  against   the  government,   and  protested.   Sadly   those  who   did   or   were   even  thought  of  doing  any  of  these   things   were  instantly   arrested   and  “dealt”   with  accordingly.      “I   was   afraid   for   my  life!   There   I   was   just  waling  with  my  friends  down   the   street   when  a   bunch   of   police  crowded   us   and  started  to  yell  at  for  no  reason.   Then   the  brought   out   there  sticks   and   began   to  beat   us!   I   didn’t   move  here   to   get   beaten   by  the   law   enforcers   of  this  nation…”  -­‐Andrei  Baskov    

Some   were  simply   picked   up   and  deported   back   to   their  countries   of   origin,  while   others   were  often   beaten   and   then  taken   into   custody   for  further   questions.  Doesn’t   matter   which  action  was   taken   there  was   wrong   doing   by  the   government   to   all  who  were  affected.    

Many  American’s   saw   this  form   of   action   as  reasonable   and   the  right   thing   to   do   to  protect  the  interests  of  the   people.   For  example,   earlier   this  decade   there   was   a  plot   to   bomb   certain  areas   in   America   by  those   communist   who  chose   to   come   and  attempt   to   destroy   us.  There   were   36   bombs  mailed   out   to   these  locations   waiting   to  explode.   To   avoid   this  from   happening   again  the   Government  basically   dedicated   a  marshal   law.   Where   if  you   were   out   late   at  night   for   no   reason  they  would  accuse  you  of   doing   something  wrong.    

These   action  later   lead   to   a   large  push   to   pass   laws   that  restricted   the   amount  of   immigrants   that  could   come   into   the  

United   States   through  the   years.   Although  many   saw   this   as   a  more   peaceful   way   of  doing   it,   others   said.    “I  come  to  this  country  to   help   and   be   a   good  citizen.   Not   bomb   its  beautiful   cities.   I   come  here   with   my   family  and   have   a   better   life  with   the   amazing  people   of   America.  However  I  come  to  the  Americas   and   I   get  yelled   at,   looked  down  upon,  and  threatened.”  -­‐Arisha  Domashevich    

    See,   these  people   aren’t   here   to  bomb  our  cities  or  take  over   our   country   they  are   here   to   become  citizens   and   make   this  country  a  part  of   there  lives.   They   are   just  trying   to   live   out   the  Americans   dream  however,   the  government   is   slowly  beating   them   down  and   stripping   them   of  the   dream   that   we   all  share.  

                               United  We  Stand,  Divided  We  Fall                              The  fall  of  the  labor  union    

The   1900’s   brought   us   labor  unions,   starting   with   just   two,   the  American  Federation  of   Labor   and   the  Knights   of   Labor.   When   the   1920’s  roared   in,   labor  unions  were  at  a  high,  protesting   for   rights   and   striking  against  unfair  wage  cuts.    

 In  1919  alone  4  million  workers  

held   3,600   strikes.   The   workers   had  been  working  unreasonable  hours  with  very   little   pay.   Needless   to   say,   the  people  of  America  were  not  happy.    

 At  the  time,  it  had  appeared  that  

these   strikes   would   pay   off   and   the  companies   would   give   in.   That   was  until   the   heads   of   the   companies   sent  in  troopers  to  “remove”  the  protestors.  These   acts   of   violence   quickly   ended  strikes.    

 In   a   country   supportive   of   free  

speech  and   the   ability   to   express   your  self,   these   rights   were   being   taken  away.   This   maddened   the   workers  even  more,  but   there  was  nothing  that  could   be   done   about   it.   This  discouraged  the  workers  greatly.  

 As   the   20’s   progressed,   labor  

unions  became   less   and   less   “roaring”.  With   worker   moral   at   an   almost   all  time   low,   many   workers   left   unions  and   much   to   their   disliking,   took   low  paying  jobs.  The  number  of  total  union  workers   dropped   by   a   whopping   2  million.                                  

                     In  the  year  of  1929,  we  still  have  not   seen   the   re   rise   of   the   unions.  Many   citizens   are   still   taking   these  lower   paying   jobs,   truly   reinforcing  the  phrase,    “united  we  stand,  divided  we  fall”.                              Since   the   large   drop   in   union  workers,   the   economy   has   taken   a  downward  turn,  and  doesn’t  appear  to  be  getting  any  better.          

   

Earlier in this decade a great advancement was made in the way we communicate and how we entertain those around us. This advancement was all part of the mass production and availability of the radio. No matter what age, this genius invention entertained many people. It also brought many families together, because many would crowed together around the radio to hear a wide variety of music, news, weather reports, how advertisements were conveyed, and the ability to hear how sports events were in a live feed of what was going on in real time. Now, the radio has brought many forms of entertainment to families around the country but it also helped with the spread of jazz, this came to be known as the roaring 20’s. This new form of rhythm and beats took the nation by storm! Many couldn’t contain themselves from this new sounding form of music. “I love listening to Jazz when ever I can. It gives me the freedom to pass the time between working and taking breaks as well as being able to dance whenever I feel like! Also when ever the stories come on my kids sit on my lap and it is a great bonding experience.” -Johnny Mc Davis Sports broadcasting gave people the ability to know what happened at certain sporting events that they might otherwise not have heard anything about until later down the road. It allowed people to instantly stay in the social circle and be a part of a quickly growing social life. However the radio didn’t just change the household aspect of people’s

life. It greatly changed the economy of the time as well. Like the radio many things were changing about the American life style, people began to have the ability to have disposable income. This lead to them spending money on many things that were advertised, which created the need for jobs for creating the advertisement. This then lead to more jobs rising in radio and advertisement business. The radio is the next big thing in America, it helped raise the economy and helped people live better and feel happier as their day-to-day lives went on. As well as Radio the production of movies changed how people went and spent time together and how dating was adapted along with the car. With the increasing production of movies and movie theaters, people went with dates to be alone and spend time together. However it also formed a new form of social class for those who stared in the movie and produced them as well. However as a whole movies also were used to portray propaganda towards people who were seeing the movie. Not to mention they could make movies to move people towards doing certain things or thinking certain things. This is why they became so popular so quickly.

The Dangerous Path of The Modern Woman By Jack Parsley

The Life of the American

woman has always been safe and normal, but the passing of the 19th amendment at the very beginning of this decade drastically changed the course of every woman’s life for the worse.

A woman’s life before 1920 was played a necessary role in all of society. She was responsible for maintaining a nice home and raising her children. She cooked and cleaned and made sure her house and children were presentable at all times.

The new Independent 1920s woman, call a flapper, is destroying that home environment. Now woman are running around in make up and wearing short skirts. Flappers with their drinking, smoking, and casual sex, is not the kind of women we want our children to look up to. They are far from the good wholesome woman from 10 years ago. Women’s rights is

important, but women should not let their enjoyment of their freedoms get in the way of their responsibilities to society.

The scandal of the decade was known as The Teapot Dome Scandal. The most shocking part of this scandal was that our president and one of his cabinet members were full willing participants to the actions at hand.

It all started when Albert B. Fall, convinced the secretary of the navy, Edwin Denby to hand over control of the Teapot Dome oil reserves over to him for his personal gain. Later, after having control of the oil reserves, he began leasing them out to “big shot” oil owners like Harry Sinclair (Mammoth Oil Company) and to Edward Doheny (Pan American Petroleum Company), Later these men would fully deny taking part in any scandal despite the over whelming evidence against them. When the oil reserves were officially leased over the respected parties, he received a tax free “gifts” totaling a lump sum of approximately $400,000. Even though fall attempted his best to keep it secret, he was to over zealous and decided to spend a majority of it. All this change in Fall’s way of life caught the eye of the many speculators. This lead to an over whelming investigation that revealed the truth in the year of 1924. The whole investigation was being lead by a man named Thomas J. Walsh, a democratic US senator from Montana. It brought new attention to scarcity of the natural resources that we could have had in the case of an emergency. After all the prosecuting was done and over with it wasn’t a victory for either political party, however it was a huge aspect of the upcoming Presidential election of 1924. Even though neither party took credit for discovering the scandal it did leave a deep whole in the trust between the

citizens and the government that they had ruling over them.

The Scopes Trial

The Scopes Trial of 1825 was one of, if not the, most important trials of this decade in protecting the students of America from the theory of evolution. It involved John Thomas Scopes, a substitute biology teacher in Tennessee, who was accused of illegally teaching evolution in his classroom. With the financial support of the American Civil Liberties Union and hotshot lawyer Clarence Darrow, Scopes agreed to go on trial against William Jennings Bryan and the World’s Christian Fundamentals Association. After a very riveting and fierce examination of Bryan by Darrow, Bryan rightfully earned a victory in the case.

!Agnostics or atheists may encourage a direct and literal interpretation of the Bible. They would claim that the Earth and the Heavens were created in six days of 24 hours and become very wound up in details regarding populations at certain dates, and exact dates in which ancient events occurred. However, there is much room for interpretation in the Bible. For instance, “Ye are the salt of the Earth,” is not claiming that humans are made of salt, or have flesh made of salt. Bryan makes this point very clear. This is an ancient text and cannot be taken as a word for word account of how all events in biblical times occurred. Although there are certain gaps in the biblical accounts, it is because there is no essential reason for those details to be included. The wide interpretation is a tool to make the Bible more accessible.

The most important part of this case that most likely decided the outcome was the examination of Bryan by Darrow. Darrow took what he saw as a prime opportunity to ask multiple questions to Bran and get him to disprove the Bible, to some extent. Darrow asked very elusive questions that, in most instances, were not completely related to the teaching of the theory of evolution. He wildly bounced from Jonah and the big fish and whether Bryan believed that to be interpreted literally, to the great flood and its date of occurrence. At times the exchanges between the two were heated, but Bryan handled the examination with great poise and grace, keeping his composure and presenting his ideas

! in a formidable fashion. Darrow asked, in some cases, unanswerable questions to all but God. Particularly towards the end, Darrow asked Bryan to determine the nature of the serpent before he was cast to the ground. Obviously there is no evidence of clear verbiage in the Bible to show the nature of such a creature at the time, and it had no relation to the topic of the theory of evolution. This decision was made with children in mind. The education system does not need to teach Christianity, but it also does not need a single theory of creation or human birth to be the sole curriculum of our students’ studies. Thankfully this case made that more of a reality for the American citizens of our future.

The AEG Hair Dryer !!!

!

The General Electric Refrigerator

!!

!

Too many times women (and rarely men) are faced with the panic of being ill prepared for a working day due to waking up later than anticipated. While you may be able to pull yourself together in enough time, there has never been away to mask the dripping hair from a shower until now. AEG has introduced a very handy product: the first handheld hair dryer. This can effectively slice your preparation time for work in half, which means sleeping more and working later the night before. The AEG model has a sleek design that you will enjoy using. Paired with its hefty 100 watts of energy pumping heated air to your sopping hair, this product has very few flaws. I must express caution, though. This item is dangerous to use near bodies of water. If dropped into a puddle of water you may be standing in, the electric current can turn back on you and cause some displeasure. However, as long as you can avoid that ominous bathtub with this product, there is no reason for an American worker not to have one. The price is reasonable and you should not try to convince yourself not to buy a handheld hair dryer today.

When looking back on the whole decade, there is one product that truly changed my life, along with many of my neighbors and fellow Americans. More than the hair dryer, the electric iron, the electric fan, and I would dare say this item held more importance to me than the Model T. The refrigerator has brought my experience as a human to a whole new level by simply doing this: keeping my food items cold. The refrigerator can quench that sole thirst that only an ice cold drink can on hot summer days. The refrigerator can create ice for medicinal, culinary, or simply pleasurable reasons. The refrigerator can extend the life of your leftover food and save you money, even (But of course you don’t need any extra cash)! The typical Monitor Top model is a very necessary item for the flourishing family. And worry not of the $700 price tag. Credit plans offered can make this a very easy and painless transition for you and your wallet. I have yet to find a bad thing about this refrigerator, and I have no reason to think that you will, either. Good luck, consumer, on your journey into the chilled future of America.

Two innocent men were robbed and

murdered in South Braintree, Massachusetts in a meditated killing in mid April of 1920. The culprits escaped the crime scene and were not identified until very recently. Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were ruled guilty of these gruesome killings and sentenced to death. These two left wing radical immigrants are known for activity against the American government. They were in possession of firearms when they were first arrested. The pair proceeded to lie to authorities when question about their possession of these guns. After extensive delays for their trial, Fred H. Moore was appointed the defendants’ lawyer. The issue became more than just the murders, though. These two men, Sacco and Vanzetti, had become a part of a much larger debate. Fred H. Moore, a strong radical from California, aroused the local immigrant population and other organizations to rally along his cause. By the time that the trial was to begin there was a large support for the defendants. Both sides were able to use eyewitnesses and evidence against the other’s cause. However, this was not sufficient for Moore. The jury promptly ruled Sacco and Vanzetti guilty of the murder-robberies along with some other crimes related to anarchist activity. But this trial is not as simple as that.

There has been great controversy since the ruling. There were reports of a biased jury for the trial, going off of quotes from the jury claiming that although there is a possibility the defendants could have not been guilty for the specific murders, they were surely guilty for another crime, and therefore

deserved death. Nobody would deny that there was tension in the courtroom, as the jury did appear to have some strong anti-immigration beliefs. These ideas are not so widely held, however. Now there is a battle to keep the defendants Sacco and Vanzetti off of the electric chair. The organizations previously mentioned are making their best efforts to reattempt the trial with a less biased jury. Across America and even Mexico, Italy, France, and other nations, there have been acts of great unrest with people supporting Sacco and Vanzetti. These men have become significant symbols worldwide, particularly for Italian people from different parts of the world. With the fury and sympathy of so many people pressuring the judicial system, the governor of Massachusetts has begun to consider pardoning the men’s crimes. Governor Alvan Fuller appointed an advisory committee called the “Lowell Committee”, a small group of advisors headed by president of Harvard University, Lawrence Lowell. The decision of the governor had not been made, or at least made public. Speculation based on previous activity of this Lowell Committee claimed that the group’s thinking was typically malleable and leaning towards popular ideals. However, the other hand said that the large support that was enough to even consider clemency may have the influence enough on the Lowell Committee to bring about a more progressive decision. In the end, a lengthy legal battle resulted with the pair being executed. Since then, plausible evidence of the pairs’ innocence has risen, but none has been conclusive enough.
