...breed of cattle, the Santa Gertrudis, achieved after many a year of experiments. It is a cross of Indian Brahma cattle, which are resistant to the tropical heat and diseases of southern Texas, and pure-bred shorthorns, one of the great English beef breeds. The result is a fat, sleek dark-red cow, both hardy and marketable...
Berlin's vast Sportpalast rumbled one night last week with a great gathering of the "German Christians," Nazi Wing of the Evangelical Church (TIME. June 12, et seq.). on deck to demand the super-Nazification of the Church. Their presiding officer was brisk, sleek, pomaded young Rev. Joachim Hossenfelder. Bishop of Berlin and Brandenburg. Their prime hot-head was one Dr. Reinhold Krause. Meeting a few days after the 450th birthday of their Church's founder, Martin Luther, they proceeded to juggle ecclesiastical dynamite. According to Nazi Pastor Krause, German Protestantism needed a "second Reformation." He submitted three...
Still in no mood to balance France's scandalously unbalanced budget, the Chamber of Deputies warily received last week the new Cabinet of that sleek, nine-lived gourmet, Premier Albert Sarraut (TIME, Nov. 6).

His solution was to make the wheel and wingtip floats fold into the wing, forming a sleek flying-boat when the ship is in flight. The engine, in a stream lined nacelle, is mounted atop the wing. A new wrinkle in amphibion design is an auxiliary 30 h. p. -motor and water propeller to be stowed in the Fairchild's nose. After alighting on the water...
...Shamrocks. Velsheda was rigged according to the new international rules which provide that racing craft may have light duralumin masts but must have full cabin accommodations for owners and crew, and must have gear-handling equipment on deck (not below deck as on Harold Stirling Vanderbilt's sleek Cup-winner Enterprise). Mr. Sopwith commissioned Designer Nicholson to build him a yacht even faster than Velsheda. He will call her Endeavor and, contrary to British custom, in Cup challenges, he may take the helm himself...
