...doors, window frames, screens, trees for the display of their silks. He designed the tall iron gates at the entrance to the Exposition des Arts Decoratifs in Paris three years ago where he received the highest prize. Describing the things he has made by their ordinary names makes it seem that Brandt is no more than a successful plumber who conducts his trade with an eye for symmetry rather than the clock.

Expensive guests: Lindbergh, Byrd, Chamberlin, $110,000; Koehl, Fitzmaurice, von Huene-feld, $60,000; Costes, Lebrix, $15,000. Official Welcomer Grover Whalen wrote Mayor Walker, diffidently: "It would seem opportune ... to raise the question as to how far ... the city should go." Recklessly, New York went ahead with plans to welcome "Lady Lindy," Pilot Stultz, Mechanic Gordon...
