...first demonstration of the three-week maneuvers. Flight after flight took the air, darkening the sky, drowning the city's traffic roar. For the first time since the War militia planes, 99 of them from 18 States, and cadets from Kelly Field, took part in regular Army formations. Main event of the first day was a contest for honor position during the maneuvers between the 95th squadron, 20th Pursuit Group (Rockwell Field), and the 36th squadron, First Pursuit Group (Selfridge Field). The California squadron, led by Captain Frank O. Hunter (War ace credited with nine planes), beat its rival...
...that is strange. Heretofore during business depressions idling executives and fortune seekers have packed off to far wildernesses. But not this year. They visit Mr. Fiala, gossip wistfully a while, then go mooning home. He has perforce reduced his advertising. The exploring business this season is mainly professional. Mr. Fiala's big customers are the Wilkins and Williams expeditions into the Arctic, the Dickey expedition through the Orinoco country. A goodly number of U. S. amateurs, notably Artist Rockwell Kent, are heading for convenient subArctic regions. For the effete, the Soviet Government has organized a tour this summer aboard...
Geneva, the stage of countless international productions, is at present in the condition of the theatrical platform when there is a lull between the periods of intense action. Minor plots, and threads of plots, all-essential to the main action, and yet not commonly associated with it, are now taking place.

Since 1885 the C. P. R. has expanded by land and sea. Its assets exceed $1,371,000,000. Yet they are understated if anything. Its main Montreal-Vancouver line runs 2,893.6 miles, but the 2,044 C. P. R. locomotives pull freight and passengers over 22,438 miles of track, including the 4,379 miles of the controlled Minneapolis. St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie Ry. ("Soo" Line). Much of its equipment is made in its 200 acre Angus Shops at Montreal...
...necessary should be charged. The second point admits another fallacy on which the authorities are working. They have taken Dunster and Lowell houses as criteria on which to fix the basic charge. These two houses had the pick of the University at their disposal and were filled, in the main, with men well above the economic average of Harvard College. Rather than make the average high a slight risk should have been taken. The authorities themselves have admitted that there is a risk even now. They have set aside $70,000 to cover it. This is also unfair. Why should...
