...flames in France on its maiden voyage to India, Germany, the home of old Count Zeppelin and the country where this type of craft first saw the light of day, has been going ahead steadily and has established a remarkable safety record. The innumerable long distance flights of the Graft Zeppelin without a single serious accident, and the fact that the German-built Los Angeles is the only ship that has survived the vagaries of American airship commanders for any length of time, show that the Fatherland is still master of the art of lighter than air navigation...
Perhaps the best way of obtaining an efficient, non-grafting control is the union of military, naval, and commercial aviation under one head, a proposal which was made several years ago by General Billy Mitchell, probably the most tactless and the most capable firebrand that has recently worn the Army khaki, and a proposal which is now nearer to realization than ever before.

Bureau of Standards, co-discoverer of deuterium, revealed that mass-three hydrogen had indisputably been identified by Dr. M. A. Tuve, L. R. Hafstad and Odd Dahl of Washington's Carnegie Institution...
Colonel Oscar Winslow Hoop, head of the School of Government at the University of Tulsa, has long tried to make better citizens of his students. He preached to them that: "Graft, extravagance and inefficiency are due to the indifference of the public. The machinery of politics and party organization remains in the hands of politicians only because of the negligence of voters...
