...Photographer Piston got no picture. Last week it became known that he had been elevated to the Legion of Honor. U. S. newsphotographers are notoriously less polite than Europeans. Ambushed behind furniture, down dark passageways, at turns of staircases, a corps of them on the incoming S. S. Europa in New York Harbor last week flash-gunned for Banker John P. Morgan, camera-shy son of a camera-shy father. They got several fleeting shots, all with Mr. Morgan looking extremely annoyed. When the Daily News's man exploded his flash in Mr. Morgan's face, the latter...
Boss Curry wanted Walker again, who was speeding home on the Europa. But New Yorkers were utterly sick of "Jimmy." His nomination, it was agreed, would be the weakest Tammany could make. Edward Joseph Flynn, the Bronx boss, wanted his man Joseph Vincent ("Holy Joe") McKee kept in City Hall but Boss Curry flatly refused. Mayor McKee was shocking Tammany's sensibilities by trying to save the city money and cutting salaries. As hotel waiters brought in an early dinner a compromise was struck, to wit, both Walker and McKee would be dropped and a third man picked...
...speed honors of the Western Ocean. The "ocean greyhounds" at the turn of the century made the crossing in six to eight days. Before the War Britain and Germany had whacked the record down to five days. There it remained until North German Lloyd launched the Bremen and Europa in 1928 and 1929. The Bremen (51,656 tons) now holds the all-time record of 4 days, 14 hr., 30 min. from Ambrose Lightship to Plymouth. The Europa is 49,746 tons, both average about 26 knots. Italy's new Conte di Savoia has not yet had her speed...

On her maiden voyage the Champlain averaged 19½ knots, but like the Bremen and Europa has speed in reserve to meet competition from faster ships of her class when they are built...
Ganymede was in occupation, hidden from U. S. view behind Jupiter. Visible were Callisto, Io and Europa. Europa revolved into occultation. Callisto then proceeded into the planetary shadow where it was eclipsed. Only Io then was visible until Ganymede came out from behind Jupiter. Then Io began its transit across the face of Jupiter whose brightness made the duller satellite invisible, and Ganymede passed into the eclipsing shadow. Then all moonless looked nine-mooned Planet Jupiter...
