A baby bear escaping a porcupine graced the cover of the Country Gentleman on this day in 1921.
On the Saturday Evening Post a man with a drum in a marching band, portrayed by Leyendecker was featured. Perhaps because of football season having arrived? Indeed, the University of Tennessee played its first game on this day in its current stadium.
In London, Major Charles Darwin, the son of the famous definer of evolution, closed the International Eugenics Conference with a call for "better class" families to propagate as their genes were superior, he claimed, and they were being out bread by inferior classes. Concepts such as this were very widely spread at the time and, of course, took root in the rising German political party, the National Socialists, who are better known to history as the Nazis.
