...controls and guns. Heat can be adjusted for outside temperatures from 70° to -60°, can be increased to protect injured fliers from shock and pneumonia. General Electric analyzed the electrically heated uniform of a German flier shot down over England, found it so inefficient as to be nigh worthless...
...Buenos Aires last week appeared a delegation from Presidencia Roque Sáenz Peña, chief city of Argentina's cotton belt. To a Government already well-nigh frantic over the country's economic troubles the delegation put one more problem. Rains had ruined half the cotton crop, last hope of that curiously international, politically chaotic, economically devastated region known as the Argentine Chaco...

This nigh-to-perfect filming of a fine novel should not be missed, but don't go at all unless you can come in at the beginning. The picture is so well constructed that missing even a few of the opening scenes spoils the whole effect...
