...Flying mail between Nanking and Ber lin, a plane and two pilots of Eurasia Corp. were forced down in a storm last fortnight. Another of the company's planes flew out to search, sighted the missing craft in the Mongolian desert. But when the rescuers glided low for a landing, a band of tribesmen shot at them, drove them up and away again. The searchers saw no sign of the stranded pilots...
Schlee Hurt. Two years ago Edward F. Schlee and William Brock flew eastward across the Atlantic and Eurasia as far as Tokyo. Their fame helped set them up in business at Detroit as the Schlee-Brock Aircraft Corp. sales agents. Last week at Detroit, Flyer Schlee was turning over a plane propeller by hand, to start the motor. He failed to maintain the gingerliness essential for handstarting a plane motor.

It broke into huge fragments, the Americas, Eurasia-Africa. Australasia, and Antarctica. The last, Antarctica, seems not to have moved much horizontally. The others slowly slid, with haltings and renewed sliding, toward the Pacific. The great mountain arcs of the Circum-Pacific-Zone were born and slowly gained in strength as the continental fragments slipped down over the earth...
...Will they find many speakers of Latin at Harvard? Perhaps they wish to enter into relations with their neighbors of Chekoslovakia, Poland, Ukrainia, Russia, Rumania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Albania, and Greece, not to mention the Baltic and Levantine nations. Why learn English, French, and German? Esperanto is sufficiently spread throughout Eurasia to make it practical to give one year of school time to it, instead of giving ten years to learning national idioms...
