Last week a wandering boy came home and for his welcome went to jail. Bert Acosta, bold, black haired flyer who sat beside Commander Byrd in his flight to France, snuggled his plane too close to his native Naugatuck, and was the first man booked in Connecticut police stations for violating the aviation law which prohibits flying below 2,000 feet over population centres. Acosta plead guilty, apologized, went to jail. Meanwhile sheriffs hurried up from New Jersey to complicate his chancery. Warrants were out for his arrest. The Splitdorf Electric Co. complained that Acosta owed $4,445 for electrical...
...opening night left in it. There it will not create a sensation but it will certainly carry on an old tradition before audiences which like its wares.

They came back to earth again 51 hours, 52 minutes, 24 seconds later, defeated by this tiny hole. They failed by half an hour and seven seconds to supplant the German world's record (TIME, Aug. 15) for endurance flying...
...live up to her name. Since she is the heroine, it is only right that she be willing to take the artificial position lightly. She goes to work quite calmly and the town talks. Her best friend and adviser is a fine man, but not in her social plane. She is too generous to care for that. One knows at the beginning that she will marry him at the end. She does. There is her mysterious half-brother from the West who, not having been heard of for 20 years, comes back and makes a fine figure in the village...
