...ruled the words were not obscene, dismissed the charge. The New York World-Telegram and Herald Tribune, carefully reporting to their readers that one of the words appeared in verse 7 of chapter 21 in the Book of Leviticus, ostentatiously refrained from mentioning them. The legal words: whore, whorehouse, hump...
With three companions he took off from Guayaquil, Ecuador, rose 12,500 ft. to skim the bare mountain hump en route to Quito. Had Fritz Hammer climbed 15 ft. higher he would have cleared the granite peak. Instead he and his companions crashed to death. When found, the plane was strewn over half a mile of mountainside, the four bodies were 200 yards apart, all stripped naked by Indians...
Flying a stripped-down, hump-backed Seversky pursuit plane powered by a Twin Wasp Jr. engine, Fuller was first to reach Cleveland, continued on non-stop to Bendix, N. J., the famed old airport of Teterboro where Vincent Bendix now has headquarters. For this Pilot Fuller won $13,000.

Also in Burgos, the Delegate...
...Professor Frobenius opened up the richest continental deposit of cave paintings and engravings. It was already known that in Magdalenian times some artist had smeared iron oxide on a cavern wall at Altamira, in north Spain. Cunningly he had fashioned a lively bison, with a fine high hump, muscular forelegs, a head set well enough to do justice to contemporary Animal Artist John Raltenbury Skeaping (TIME, May 3). In Khotsa Cave, 5,000 mi. from Spain in Basutoland, South Africa, Anthropologist Frobenius found the Altamira bison's twin. The long-legged silhouet of a wildly running bowman found...
