      "The column recalls the February 1919 dancing party at the Emblem club for Lt. B. A. Stover.",
      "It adds that Stover had \"recently returned from the war\", which the original does not say.",
      "The original of February 14, 1919 is filed and carries detail the column drops, including the shooting gallery with hearts as targets.",
      "It is the clearest case of the column supplying a fact its source does not carry."
    ],
    "limitations": [
      "A retrospective, not the original. The column condenses, rewrites tense, and has been caught adding a detail and altering an initial, so it may be used to find and to date but never quoted as the earlier paper's wording.",
      "The added detail is not demonstrably false; it is simply untraceable.",
      "Nothing on this page concerns the emblem as a device."

      "“Recently returned from the war” is the column’s addition. It may well be true. It is not in the source, and there is no way to trace where it came from. That is the sharpest reason to distrust these columns for anything the original does not also say — which, for the years the archive does not hold, is everything."
