While the Sikorsky 543 is an extremely interesting and valuable airplane it seems to me that-since it carries 16 persons, 1,000 Ib. of mail and express and has a gross weight of 19,000 Ib. and two engines, while the Fairchild carries 10 people, 1,000 Ib. of mail and express and has a gross weight of 9,600 Ib. and only one engine-it should more rightly have been called by you a Mid-Clipper or Youthful Clipper, just to keep the distinction clear...
Britain being surfeited with colonies, her moralizing newsorgans have been roundly roasting Il Duce.

The contest was held from a flat car at Wabash Avenue and Madison Street in Chicago's "Loop." Some 2,000 people heard the proceedings through amplifiers, many thousands more...
Author Bynner sets the tone of his Guest Book, but in such poems as Liar and Oats he sums up complex careers and relationships in a few concise lines, drops many a casual, oldfashioned, epigrammatic observation. In Widower he finds lovely symbols and lines to express his favorite theme of loneliness...
