...rather than in picturesque or exciting exceptions. The Russia they saw has come to be a familiar land to readers of travel books, a country of new cities, new buildings, new plans, of confusion, enthusiasm, inefficiency. Lester Cohen's most refreshing Russian experience was his visit to a model self-governing prison colony at Lubertze. There the prisoners were given vacations, were punished by being expelled. Despite Lester Cohen's enthusiasm for the Soviet Union, he was distressed by the beggars he saw on the streets, encountered many citizens who grumbled at the way things were going...
...Arkansas, the Resettlement Administration has planned three "model communities." Most advanced Federal settlement is the Dyess Colony, 18 mi. from Osceola, named in honor of the late State WPAdministrator William Randolph Dyess, killed in the crash of the The Southerner airliner five months ago (TIME, Jan. 27).

The model, Cati Mount, had been one of the attractions at Chicago's Century of Progress, but the Executive Committee well knew that the picture would offend their pious, Roman Catholic boss, tall, white-haired Dennis Francis Kelly, who was trusting his subordinates to keep things in order while he vacationed in California. Another shocker was the angry Ration Box and Crucifix, in which Artist Adrian Troy expressed...

Collier (Colliers Magazine) got the idea of giving a trophy for "the greatest achievement in aviation in America, the value of which has been demonstrated by actual use during the preceding year," Donald Wills Douglas was an Annapolis midshipman who spent much of his time throwing model airplanes out his dormitory window. In 1912, when the first 2-ft. bronze Collier Trophy was awarded to Glenn H. Curtiss for hydro-airplane development, young Designer Douglas became bolder, launched his latest model from the roof.
