Senator Henrik Shipstead, Farmer-Laborite, onetime dentist, lives on a secluded island in northern Minnesota, striving to recover health lost in the service of his country. Last week his regular Republican colleague, sightless Senator Thomas David Schall, stopped at the Minnesota State Fair, urged his constituents to offer prayers for Mr. Shipstead's recovery, "although he is not a Republican...
Lakehurst to Friedrichshafen. Except for brief electrical storms, navigation was simple for Capt. Ernst A. Lehmann on the Grafs final 5,300 miles from Lakehurst to Friedrichshafen. He kept lookout for the lost Swiss flyers (TIME, Sept. 2) and detoured over Santander, Spain, to salute King Alfonso and Queen Victoria. This detour was a prudent courtesy, because Spain is planning a dirigible hangar at Seville, which will be useful when the Germans establish their Europe-South America Zeppelin line. But some passengers were vexed at the out-of-the-way delay. Their nerves were jumpy because one Frederick S. Hogg...
...cream sauce deferred, while four of Gloucester's fleetest fishing schooners were racing inshore to settle old rivalries.

Old Aikens' victory coupled with the early elimination of the Englishmen in the Open series discouraged polo-observers from predicting formidable 1930 opposition from overseas...
...golf when he gets there. (He won the Trans-Mississippi in 1927.) At this year's Open he qualified with the leaders, later putted disastrously to early elimination. Before Champion Jones's breakfast had properly settled, young John Goodman had won three holes. Jones caught him at the 12th, lost him again at the 14th, left the tournament i down. "I'm proud," said young John Goodman, "but I'm sorry." Some people thought it was a "good thing for the game." Others thought an 18-hole match was unfair, especially when young John Goodman lost his next match...
