Revived with gasoline, the Columbia set out for Berlin where a gigantic welcome was in store. But fortune decreed an unromantic end. Off the course, lost in a fog, developing engine trouble-due perhaps to the new brand of gasoline-the Columbia smashed its propeller while making a forced landing in a muddy field near Kottbus, 70 miles southwest of Berlin. To Chamberlin and Levine, the good burgomaster of Kottbus offered beer...
...fog now surrounds the proposed University dining hall. The authorities are behind the project; the building will go up forthwith if only the students, whose need it is supposed to meet, show themselves conscious of a need. The persistence of the University in forwarding the project attests to the sincerity with which it is being pushed from above.

Last week several thousand robins, wrens and starlings, migrating from their winter homes, were lost in a fog off New York Harbor.

Several reputable citizens of Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, swore that they saw (others heard...
...Fog-Bound. Nance O'Neil was last week seen sobbing her way through gloomy Fog-Bound, a piece of Long Island coast drama by Hugh Stange. The plot is: 1) Hester tells mother that she wants to marry Lem Ross instead of Capt. Ezra Tuttle because she loves Lem but not Ezra. Mother faints. 2) Hester marries Ezra. He is cruel. 3) Eighteen years later Lem returns, wants Hester to run away and live in sin. She refuses on account of daughter born between scenes. Lugubrious Fog-Bound is lightened by Miss O'Neil's portrayal of Hester...
