Curtiss-Wright Sales Co. gave a flying party last week for air-curious business leaders of the New York area who had never had a ride in an airplane. At Valley Stream, L. I., hummed expectantly the Company's Ford trimotor. In squads it engulfed intrepid New York businessmen -rubbermen, pianomen, bankers, food-men, hatters, bakers, milkmen, silkmen- took them up, showed them over Manhattan, brought them down, five tons landing softly...

Though never a fancy skater or ski jumper, His Holiness was once an intrepid bobsledder and a skilled toboggan steersman. The present twelvemonth, 1929, is his "Jubilee year"-the 50th since he first celebrated Mass-and therefore devout Catholics hoped, last week, that by next Christmas the "Prisoner of the Vatican" will be released and restored to an athletic life...
