...Please refer to p. 52 of your July 15 issue under Transport-299. We quote: The ''first Army or Navy craft to have more than three motors." Your memory apparently does not extend back to 1919 when the NC4 crossed the Atlantic. This Navy plane and its sister ships had four motors. M. O. ADAMS...
...Rumania, since Hohenzollern King Carol's youngest sister is the Archduchess Ileana of Habsburg, family ties kept the official press mum. At a meeting of the National Peasant Party, which spends most of its time exhorting King Carol to dismiss his red-headed Jewish mistress, Archduke Otto was introduced last week as a welcome change of subject.

The facts were that a Montreal lawyer had seen in the hands of a stranger a Polish newspaper listing the will of one Harry Koslack or Kozack who had bequeathed at least $1,000,000, maybe $6,000,000, to his sister who had married a man named Stareselsky.

Strangely lacking in sex appeal off the stage, Miss Warner is a wet blanket at parties, has been known plaintively to ask fellow guests who were making whoopee to sit down and let her read them...
...same lobby Grace's sister Marion, 25, is working on Fruits & Vegetables. Both sisters went to Manhattan's Art Students' League but while Grace finished her studies in Paris and Italy, Marion wandered to Mexico. Last year both did frescoes for the Michoacan State capital in Morelia. A faster worker than her sister, Marion last week started on her third wall. Her peasants, a little looser in the joints than Grace's, bring to market bags of papaya, cashew fruit, guava, yams, cabbages, carrots and bananas. Among Fruits & Vegetables Marion includes a few fish...
