...Francisco controlled the production at that time and as children my brother and I visited the Kiln for our summer holidays. An album of interesting pictures, showing the little settlement and the lively trams swinging over the mountains, is among our family possessions and if you were to climb to the big house on the top of the hill, you will discover my mother's recordings of the inches we grew each year- still clearly notched on the side of the fireplace...
Gifted, vigorous U. S. artists did not begin to climb scaffolding until painters like Sloan, Luks and Bellows had found big subjects in local streets, parks, barrooms, and until the generation of Curry, Wood and Benton had done likewise in the farm and cattle country. The possibility of integrating this material in wall designs was driven home by Mexico's two great muralists, Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco. Missouri's Benton completed his first murals in Manhattan's New School for Social Research in 1930 (TIME, Jan. 5, 1931) and a movement of great and wild...
...Phoenix Islands, catapulted three planes from its deck. The flyers skimmed over Gardner and McKean Islands and Carondelet Reef, saw nothing but ruined guano works and the wreck of a tramp freighter. Thousands of startled seabirds fluttered up, menacing the propellers and forcing the flyers to climb.

For a climb to 5,890 ft. he was awarded a gold trophy and $500 prize offered by his airminded father, Vice President A. Felix du Pont of E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. In points. Peter Reidel of Germany was ahead of Du Pont with a score of 196 but the German was not eligible for the U. S. championship...
...rich in scenery as it is in make-believe. The principals are trapped in a sandstorm, in a burning thatched village, in a gurgling underground crater which erupts upon their entrance. Majestically pictured is Paul Robeson, scaling peak and precipice, chanting Mighty Mountain-I'm Going to Climb You. For some spirited shield-whacking and spear-hurling filmed in South Africa, Director Robert Stevenson hired 5,000 native Impingi. who were reluctant to act because they thought they were being drafted for a new European war. Good shot: Robeson digging for water in the sand which the parched party...
