...Santa Monica, Calif, last week climbed a standard Douglas DC2 transport with a few subtle changes in wing design. When it landed again after buzzing back & forth over the Tehachapi Mountains for several hours, Douglas officials revealed that they had devised a satisfactory way to prevent the unique icing of ailerons which caused the crash of a Transcontinental & Western Air Douglas DC2 fortnight ago near Pittsburgh (TIME, April 5).

...billion eggs laid in the U. S. last year, no fewer than two billion were broken, canned and frozen.

Thawed out by a game warden, they were soon sent on their way. Also last week, the misadventure which overtook two of Nature's best flying mechanisms overtook one of Man's best flying mechanisms 200 miles as the gull flies southwest of Hornell. Just outside of Pittsburgh, a twin-motored Douglas DC2 crippled by ice flopped helplessly to earth killing 13 people in 1937's third major air disaster...
