Edward Herbert ("Don Eduardo") Thompson, excavator of the sacred well of Yum Chac, the Rain God, and many another spot in Chichen Itza, the Mayan Capital (TIME, May 17, BOOKS), has pushed his investigations inland to Coba, an older, provincial Mayan city [visited last winter by Dr. Gann (TIME, April 26)]. The expedition found unknown ruins called by local bush-dwellers "Macanxoc" meaning "you can't read it," ruins of what was doubtless Coba's religious centre...
Sunningdale, where the qualifying rounds of the British open championship were played last week, is accounted the hardest inland course in England. There Robert T. Jones went out to qualify last week followed by a number of gentlemen in top hats with racing badges in their lapels, for the King was expected at Ascot that day and these gentlemen wanted, if possible, to be in two places at once.

When the Mayas first began to build they knew little about the laws governing thrust and strain. Their earliest two-story buildings have the second story set behind the first on a solid mass of masonry. They dared...
Toward the end of the week the Cabinet yielded slightly, modified its original ruling so as to apply only at seaports. Inland, the Republican colors will fly alone. But German sailors, arriving at port under the "nine-tenths imperial" Merchant Marine flag, will be able to identify the German legation or consulate by the display of both flags...
