...State of Luxembourg, there came last week the Archduke Otto of Habsburg, 15, claimant to the Hungarian throne (TIME, Jan. 24). With him arrived his mother, Zita, one-time Hungarian Queen and Austrian Empress. They came from the little fishing village at Lequeitio, Spain, where Prince Otto has grown up in exile, tutored by monks, supported by King Alfonso XIII of Spain and the contributions of loyal Austro-Hungarian nobles. As Otto's impoverished little suite descended at the Luxembourg station, they were met by a half dozen open landeaux, bearing the arms of Luxembourg. Whips cracked, the landeaux...
...Detroit. Last week, while he disported himself in the Far West (see p, 22), his company issued a statement based on information Mr. Dodge lately collected in Europe: "Since the American public has started a definite movement toward the water for recreational purposes, our [standardized] motor boat industry has grown enormously. ...

Therefore, last week, though 300 guests were present at the royal tea, Sir James approached the Queen-Empress and whispered a request in her ear, as even good little boys sometimes do with their grown-up hostess...
Shrewd, Mr. Griffin called the attention of Australians to the major defect of Washington, D. C. The city, as originally planned, was to have expanded in concentric rings about the Capitol. But what has happened? Washington has grown so disproportionately westward that the Capitol now clings to the city's eastward fringe. A development so lopsided and undignified, decided Australians, shall not recur at Canberra...
