Jan. 30, 1920: I often wonder who came up with the headline “The People and Their Troubles.” Folks sure had them, though. Like Mrs. Beulah P. Porter, who was seeking a divorce and said her husband had bruised her neck.

“You know, sometimes bruises on the neck come from kissing," the judge remarked.

"I did not get mine that way," she replied.

And members of the Public Service Employees Assn. want a raise of $25 a month [266.49 USD 2008].
