...President Camille Quoniam, who has long worked to popularize the works of U. S. Philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson in France. Last week Cherbourg's new roadstead covered 3,500 acres of 42 to 46 ft. water. It was already fit to dock most transatlantic liners. The North German Lloyd's Europa & Bremen, the White Star Line's Majestic, the Cunard Line's Aquitania & Berengaria will continue to use tenders until the flanking moles are finished early next year...
...made, the Cunard Line's unfinished 73,000-ton liner "No. 534." It lay last week in its Clydebank, Scotland yards, unfinished for lack of a Government subsidy. Designed to make 30 knots, cross the Atlantic in four days flat to beat the North German Lloyd's Bremen & Europa, "No. 534" last rang with hammers two years ago. But at a luncheon after the ceremony last week Cunard's plow-chinned Board Chairman Sir Percy Bates uprose to say that No. 534 "had survived all sorts of criticism.

Lloyd's agents, looking out from the Lizard (headland at the tip of Cornwall) for the yachts on their return voyage first sighted the Flame, a British cutter owned and designed by Charles E. Nicholson, who built Sir Thomas Lipton's last two Shamrocks. Two days later, the Flame blew into Cowes at dawn under a trysail because her mainsail had been ripped the day before. In an ocean race-where time allowances based...
Hysterical Fugue- The strange, sensational disappearance & reappearance of Raymond Robins, Hoover friend (TIME, Feb. 27 et ante*), came to mind when Professor Lloyd Hiram Ziegler of Albany Medical College discoursed on "hysterical fugue." During an attack of fugue, explained Professor Ziegler, "the patient leaves his home and makes an excursion or journey justified by no reasonable motive. The attack ended, the subject unexpectedly finds himself on an unknown road or in a strange town," as Col. Robins did in Whittier, N. C.
