Trying Hard. In an almost impossible situation, Lord Coal is nonetheless trying to do his best. One of the country's most polished performers, he flies around visiting coal mines in a $140,000 DeHaviland Dove plane painted in the blue and white colors of the National Coal Board flag. Robens is persistently optimistic about coal's future, insists that Britain's growth will raise consumption and that modernization will make coal competitive. He is squabbling with the Labor government about next year's coal production, which he believes should be 200 million tons instead...
...back one or two years to 1856, in "Indja," where Flynn, as noble, good-hearted, brave and true, in a word, English, Major Geoffrey Vicars, skirmishes baggy-trousered local rebels, goes panther shooting, or was it cheetahs, with the treacherous Surat Khan, and loses the love of Olivia DeHaviland, whose lower lip quivers almost continuously in the role of some English general's tender-sweet daughter.

She shows the torments and confusion of the girl in the early symptoms of trouble, in the depths of her madness, and then when the signs of improvement and eventual recovery come. She handles the difficult job of reflecting mental states so well that the doctor does not have to say that she is improving...
Lost. Lieutenant Commander H. C. MacDonald, D. S. C. (British) R. N. (retired), and a DeHaviland Gypsy Moth biplane; between Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, and the Eastern Hemisphere. Lieutenant Commander MacDonald set out at noon of Oct. 17 in a plane which had a cruising radius of 3,600 miles, which had a wing spread 20 feet shorter than Charles Augustus Lindbergh's Ryan monoplane, the Spirit of St. Louis; which, like Lindbergh's plane, carried no radio apparatus, toted no pontoons, but had one 80-100 h. p. motor (Lindbergh's developed 200 h. p.). Unlike Lindbergh...
