Death came last week to Europe's greatest trader and trafficker in Sleep-Davison Dalziel, 74, Baron Dalziel of Wooler. From Finland's icy mountains to Egypt's torrid sands, tired travelers snore peacefully, each night, in the sleeping cars of the great company of which he was president-La Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits et des Grands Express Europeens.† Moreover Baron Dalziel was, up to the moment of his death in London last week, chairman of the British Pullman Car Co.-pioneers of such luxury services as the Pullman-Golden Arrow route between London...

Now Lampy does not snore so loudly. He knows the present best. But Pity of Pities! The clock ticking backwards leads his mind down into chaotic, confused imaginings. We find Diogenes in a humorous vein. Descartes would die all over again, and probably has, at the incoherent paragraph written in his honor. Shades of his Mathematical System...
...snore of the planes gave the spectators a sensation of excitement. A racing plane, with its enormous dual motors, makes a wilder sound than an ordinary plane. Spectators were reported to be so intent as to pay no attention to ad interim announcements of big football games. Yet an airplane race is better to hear than to watch.
