...Armstrong has long planned to anchor his first full-size seadrome midway between Manhattan and Bermuda. Studying hydrographic charts of the region he figured that there must exist a high spot on the ocean floor about where he would like it. He asked Secretary of the Navy Charles Francis Adams to send a survey ship to check his calculations. He was right. The survey showed a little plateau just 400 miles from Manhattan and 375 miles from Bermuda, in an almost direct line. It is six miles long by four miles wide and only two miles below sea level, whereas...
...still life of brocade, a vase, a fiddle. Paris painters, recalling Carnegie's previous recognition of more salient French painters (first prize, 1927, to Henri Matisse; first prize, 1928, to André Derain) were considerably puzzled by this award.

The quiet city dubbed Canada's capital by Queen Victoria is one-fifth as populous as bustling, industrial Toronto. But of Ottawa's 126,000 citizens a full 1,000 turned out as a mass committee of welcome marshalled by Dominion Prime Minister William Lyon McKenzie King. Canadians made a great point of the fact that Mr. MacDonald and Mr. King shook hands as absolute equals, colleagues under the Crown. Loud pealed the carillon in the great Gothic...
...woman once called up to ask for full details about the rock of Gibraltar-its weight, size, and height; and the most remarkable part of that story was that we were able to give them to her!" Thus answered Karl Dahlquist, for seven years in charge of the general University information bureau, when asked about some of the inner workings of the office...
