...find thus announced last week by Dr. Julian H. Steward of the Smithsonian Institution was made in a cave near Utah's Great Salt Lake. As the water level in the lake sank, millennium after millennium, the caves around it are supposed to have been eaten out by the action of waves at the shore. The cave which yielded up Dr.Steward's fossil infant is now 365 ft. above the lake level. Yet the fact that the skeleton was imbedded in lake gravel on the cave floor indicated that the cave was inhabited soon after the water retreated...
...this point the State Division of Horse Racing, headed by a former State Senator named Francis J. Kiernan, began hectoring Narragansett. Last month a suitable incident was provided when State Racing Steward James Doorley attempted to enforce a minor Division ruling concerning the posting of winning horses on the track's electric board. Hot-tempered Owner O'Haca not only defied the order but gave Doorley a bawling out.

Such resigned generalities as these filled the air in Philadelphia's elegant Bellevue-Stratford Hotel last week as 1,000 restaurateurs gathered for the annual convention of the International Stewards & Caterers Association.

Since Repeal they have handled nearly that much liquor business. Typical was the Roosevelt-Du Pont wedding last July when caterers offered what was, for them, a skimpy repast of hors d'oeuvres, ice cream and cakes, but made up for it with champagne. Even thicker than sample-passers from food companies at the convention...
...veteran Captain Stuart G. Dietz, 33, at the controls it settled to the airport at Daytona Beach, Fla. shortly after 4 a. m. Daytona Beach has been an Eastern Air stop only since May but Captain Dietz was completely familiar with the field. Presently, with co-pilot beside him, steward and six passengers strapped in their seats in the cabin, Captain Dietz taxied to the northern end of the 3,700-ft. NW/SE runway, gave his two motors a final revving, hurtled into the air in what was apparently a normal takeoff...
