Texas. One hundred million years old were the dinosaur eggs found in the Gobi Desert by Roy Chapman Andrews. They were the earliest eggs known to Science until the return of Harvard's latest expedition from the Permian Red Beds of north central Texas.

Some editors, perhaps mindful that Photographer Chapman was jeopardized by Pennsylvania's strict laws against contributing to the delinquency of a minor, tossed the prints aside. In Pittsburgh the Sun-Telegraph printed the swimming pose. So did the New York Daily News and the Omaha Bee-News. Hearst's New York American delicately restored Kaletta's bathing suit before publication. At least one newspaper dared to print Kaletta naked on the rock. It was the Knoxville Journal...
