High over the Austrian and Swiss Alps last week drifted a mountainous white cloud. Slowly it flattened out until it covered most of Bavaria and the lower Rhineland, hung motionless in the air for three days. Astronomer Director Wolf of the Königstuhl Observatory near Heidelberg squinted at the white pall through telescopes and announced that it was a mass of finely powdered lava blown high in the air from erupting Vesuvius (TIME. June 17). He warned Bavarians to expect the usual volcanic twilight phenomenon - the whole sky turning orange at sunset and staying so long after...
They brought him a cake with 21 candles. That and the French professional golf championship, the first European championship he has ever won, were Horton Smith's birthday presents. To Aubrey Boomer, the St. Cloud professional and Smith's nearest competitor, they brought a score card which Boomer, nervous, could scarcely sign.

On the careless hillocks and ridges of Muirfield and Moortown where...
...body of sainted Dr. Sun Yatsen, preacher of democracy, left last week Peiping's Temple of the Azure Cloud, where it has been for the past four years. Six hundred miles away, a monumental mausoleum was ready to receive it, built by the Nationalist government on a hillside overlooking Nanking. Bearing it thither was an elaborate railway funeral coach, pride of the Peking-Hankow Railway, built of hand carved teakwood, fitted with solid silver doors, window frames, light fixtures, its walls draped with Nationalist red, blue, and white silk, its floors muffled with a blue silk run of double...
...hope gleams through the black cloud. President Hoover expects to take no action in the matter. Perhaps he has a feeling that Prohibition should be started by Americans...
