...slowness of mechanics at Tempelhof Airdrome enraged him. "Damn it, I want to push on," he fumed, and paced the field impatiently for two hours while mechanics turned the cranks of slow fuel-pumps. Off again, Winnie Mae got to the Russian border, was driven by thunderstorms back to Koenigsberg, East Prussia, where Pilot Post grudgingly took five hours sleep, vowing not to shut his eyes again until reaching Alaska. Winnie Mae thundered out of Moscow a half-day ahead of schedule. But an oil leak was causing the robot to misbehave and Pilot Post had practically all the burden...
Acidic Girls, Bicarbonate Boys. Through Dr. Sanders (see above) Dr. F. Unterberger of Koenigsberg sent word that if women drink great quantities of bicarbonate of soda, they will bear only sons. A lactic acid diet produces only girls. Dr. Unterberger verified his theory with 78 daughter-surfeited German women. All but one bore sons. The exception had broken her alkaline régime.
