...Harvard economics department is, when considered on the basis of scholarship, one of the finest to be found. Although two of the most interesting professors of the department, Carver and Ripley, are now emeritus, the teaching ability may still be considered as fair. Taussig, Bullock, Gay, and Burbank are the older leaders, Williams (at present the most popular lecturer) and Cole are in their prime, while from limited personal experience it would seem that Mason, Chamberlin, and Harris are the more prominent junior members of the department...
Five sleek, silver-coated Lockheed Orions were already in their hangars at Floyd Bennett Field, N. Y. and United Airport, Burbank, Calif, last week, two more on their way from the factory. They are specially built, low-wing monoplanes, windowless, with retractable landing gear, designed to fly 170 m. p. h. with half-ton loads. The schedule westbound calls for take-off at 6 p. m., arrival at 8:45 a. m. Eastbound, take-off 12:45 p.m., arrive...

Y. one morning last week, tore through 2,500 mi. of stiff west wind, landed at Burbank, Calif. 12 hr. 22 min. later, more than two hours under the westbound record. The pilot was big-framed Roscoe Turner who wears a swagger uniform of his own design and used to keep a mascot lion. The plane was a Wedell-Williams speedster of the type which made the eastbound record (10 hr. 19 min.) last September...
