Hollywood, California, February 14, 1923.
Some Spanish American War veterans visited Washington, D.C. They were in a class of veterans that would increasingly be forgotten due to the swell of veteran ranks caused by World War One.
The members of George Washington University's Women's Rifle Team, located in Washington, D. C., were photographed.
Women have competed in the shooting sports forever. Interesting to see this photograph of a group of young female marksmen in an urban environment, before firearms caused people living in cities to freak out.
Toronto's CFCA broadcast, on this Valentine's Day of 1923, the first NFL game to be subject to the same.
The game was between the Toronto St. Patrick's, now the Maple Leafs, against the Ottawa Senators, which is now defunct. Toronto won 6 to 4.
CFCA would only broadcast for ten years before going out of business.
French authorities seized 85,000,000 Marks from the city hall treasury of Gelsenkirchen, and 17,000,000 from the railway station, in retaliation for the city's refusal to pay 100,000,000 Marks due to the wounding of two French officers in clashes with the police.
