:07:30
It's my idea of heaven, boys.
:07:32
A grease bucket, a wrench
and a cracked cylinder.
:07:35
You wanna make a living the hard way.
:07:37
All I know is, I don't want
any more trouble. I've had some.
:07:44
What's the matter, Harvard?

I think I'll take it with me.

And still not all of them are back.
:08:23
There is alarming news that women's skirts
are going to become shorter...
:08:26
...already they are 6 inches
above the ankle.
:08:29
Bobbed hair is introduced,
but very timidly.
:08:31
A young upstart named Jack Dempsey
will meet Jess Willard...
:08:34
...for the heavyweight championship
of the world.
:08:36
People are talking about the high cost
of living. Everything is going up:
:08:40
Food, rent, clothing, taxes.
:08:42
The Prohibition amendment is ratified
by the necessary 36 states...
:08:46
...and becomes the law of the land.

Finally, late in the year...
:08:52

but their relatives and friends.
