...Senator Royal S. Copeland, a vast herd of uninformed outsiders have heaped all blame for past crashes on the Bureau and the radio beams which it operates. Cowed by this abuse, Director of Air Commerce Eugene Vidal stalwartly defended his organization at the meeting but admitted it needed funds. The airline operators, equally cowed, shunted blame onto radio failure because of such weather conditions as rain static. The conferees got together on an eleven-point program of improvements for radio and the Bureau,* scuttled home. Scarcely had they settled down last week when there came another major crash about which...
...both sides of the Atlantic last week there was ample testimony to Mrs. Dodge's thesis as thousands of dog lovers swarmed to London and Manhattan for the No. i British and U. S. dog shows. At the Royal Agricultural Hall, called the Coronation Show in honor of George VI, was the biggest dog show Britain had ever held except for last year's Golden Jubilee exhibition honoring George V.

In the ensuing royal houseparty to bring the nervous pair together, this well-laid plan went sadly agley. Helen was mightily pleased with Franzi, but Franzi had no eyes for anyone but Helen's younger sister, 15-year-old Sisi. Sisi was a tomboy, but so pretty she made Helen appear a gawk. Franzi fell in love with...
...better idea of how the land lay, see which fences needed mending most, he began making the rounds of his property. On some of these trips he took Sisi with him. In the Italian provinces, where Austrian misrule was worst, even the paid hands would not clap the royal owners. At the Scala in Milan, the audience had to be commanded to attend, under penalty of fines: the aristocrats sent their servants to fill the seats. Sisi's charm and beauty made some impression on the scowling Italians; but it was not till she reached Hungary that she tasted...
