"He Taught His Baby Vile Oaths"
This stacked headline from the #AlbanyNY newspaper sometime in the 1930s caught my eye. Reading the story, no question the vile oaths were the least of it.

Not all of you can be a #GirlBoss. Some of you have to be a Girl Elevator Operator.
I grew up in the '60s and '70s; the idea of advertising jobs by sex is, unfortunately, not foreign to me. But I've been mystified by this one in a couple of directions. First, impressed they thought a female was qualified to operate an elevator. Second, confused why they would specifically be looking for one (this was not a single-sex hotel).

I'm going through newspapers on the NYS Historic Newspapers site for mentions of my grandmother Evelyn Call. I never knew she played the violin!

When your marriage is so scandalous it knocks the #Titanic off to the side of the front page
(Or, maybe there was just so much bad news that they had to toss in some shocking gossip to lighten the mood?)

Sometimes I find headlines in old #newspapers and I don't want to read the explanation.

On my desktop I keep running across this hypnotic photo of blue-eyed Fern Jackson, Miss Syracuse of 1925. Sometimes faces from the past just look incredibly modern to me – like she couldn't possibly have lived a century ago.

Going through old papers from my grandmother. February 15, 1930, Canadian Press reported this which was picked up here in the Manitoba Free Press. “Women Better Air Travellers Than Men, say Officials”.

It’s interesting to see how old newspapers functioned a bit like social media today.
