...keys of a small portable organ. The broad back of Author-Aeronaut Samuel Taylor Moore (Hetty Green) rose and fell over the pump-handle projecting from the organ's side. Some 80 tycoons, lesser businessmen, artists and writers boomed out their official anthem (chorus given above*) to the rhythmic accompaniment of pounded beer mugs in a big private dining room of the Hotel Brevoort, Manhattan. It was the "47th, 48th & 49th Fiscal Meetings and First Bicentennial Hard Times Party'' of the Guild of Former Pipe Organ Pumpers, a thriving, purposeless organization of men who at some time...

...reluctance of the Air Corps to re-equip with monoplanes has been due to incomplete research into wing construction. At extreme speeds, a monoplane wing is subject to "flutter," or rhythmic oscillation, which leads to rapid destruction of the member involved. The new Boeing model has satisfactorily overcome this difficulty, performs better than its biplane cousin. Equipped with a Pratt & Whitney Wasp motor, supercharged to develop 475 h. p., it cruises at 165 m. p. h., has a high speed well in excess of 200 m. p. h. It carries two machine guns shooting through the propeller, a bomb-rack...
