...arrived. Perhaps it was Capt. Wilkins himself, announcing success after three years of struggle, three attempted flights, five smashed planes, the death of one man during all of which turmoil Commander Richard Evelyn Byrd flew from Spitzbergen to the pole and back again and the Amundsen-Ellsworth expedition flew all the way across in the opposite direction in a dirigible...
...silence of the management. President and General Manager William Childs was absent. Neither were the du Pont interests (large stockholders) represented at the meeting. Vice President S. Willard Smith, facing the barrage of stockholders' criticism alone, in the absence of all the Childs-William, Luther, E.

...BUILDERS OF AMERICA-Ellsworth Huntington & Leon F. Whitney -Morrow ($3.50). Unlike some advocates of birth control who whine for an indiscriminate decrease in the world-birth rate, Authors Huntington, able Yale environist, and Whitney, able Secretary of the American Eugenics Society, with many a diagram and graph, powerfully defend their contention that the intelligent minority should be more prolific. Most novel, indisputable, disastrous, are the statistics which they produce upon those who achieve irritating and ephemeral success during their collegiate careers, and who, when they graduate, are reluctant to duplicate their superiorities in offspring. Even chorus girls and stage ladies...
