...expected to be called to the colors before they finished. Most of the air shots in Dawn Patrol were lifted intact from the 1930 edition. Good shot: Courtney, whose minute squadron on the Marne front has been losing a man a day for weeks, reacting with an absent-minded nod, while he reads a newspaper, to the news that an old friend has been killed...
...participation in the Tech game did him no harm, and he will be able to answer the opening whistle from his forward spot but Chet Legg and Rick Rabenold are ready to step in if his ankle gives him any further trouble. Homer Peabody will probably get the starting nod from Coach Fesler over Bill Humes, while Dick Sullivan and Doug MacLeod will be the first line guard replacements...
...mimeographed announcement: for the first time since 1928 United States Rubber Co. has declared a dividend-4% on its 8% preferred. Since 1929, when Mr. Davis became chairman and president of U. S. Rubber, that overfed, unhealthy industrial giant had several times been within a banker's nod of extinction.

Last week the CAA, in its first big airport decision, gave its nod to the Gravelly Point site, immediately set about securing a $4,000,000 PWA appropriation, cooperation of the Army Engineering Corps and WPA labor to get the new Washington National Airport under way. A mile further downriver than the present field, the site lies three and a half miles from the centre of the capital, ten minutes away via the Mt. Vernon Memorial Highway. Immediate plans call for a 750-acre field, 500 acres to be "made" with fill dredged from the river bottom and graded...
