...Louis Bailey as he stepped from a plane in Chicago after taking his classes up for a 40-minute bird's-eye view of the city. Professor Bailey has been using the airplane as an instrument to educate his students for 18 years. Subject of their study: the growth of the city.

Quick as a cornstalk Eula shot up. Last week she reached 59 inches, 92 pounds. Doctors thought they could boost her up another few inches but healthy Eula was content. Said she proudly, if incorrectly: "I'm taller than Helen Hayes." (Miss Hayes...
