The Park Site Legislative Committee in the Davis Mountains
Radio met football on this day when KDKA broadcast the West Virginia v. University of Pittsburgh game.
Michael F. Farley
Congressman Michael F. Farley died of anthrax acquired from an infected shaving brush on this day in 1921. The incident emphasized an effort in New York to eliminate products made from infected animals, including shaving brushes and toothbrushes.
Farley was an Irish immigrant who had prospered as a barman before becoming a Democratic Congressman.

The Saturday Evening Post ran a sad cover of an illustration of a boy with his St. Bernard for sale, but I can't find a clearly copyright free example of it to put up.
In the Midwest, it was the first Sweetest Day, which is apparently a thing.
