President Machado hops into his tub at 4:30 each morning. But his son-in-law, Senor Emilio Obregon, who has the room and the bathroom just above, is less spry. So is his wife. So are their children. At 4:30 a. m. on the fatal morning last week, the Obregon family were sound asleep in their beds when the bomb went off in their bathroom.

It flew well, but a test pilot unaccustomed to such craft banked it too low, side slipped it into a heap of wreckage. Then it was that Senor de la Cierva determined that aviation would need a ship that could be flown slow as well as fast, low as well as high, in safety. In all the crack-ups that attended experimentation - and they were not numerous - no one was seriously hurt, not even before de la Cierva learned...
