Peggy Anne and Herbert III ranged themselves before the microphones, pulled the tail of a big white collie but flatly refused to talk. Finally their grandmother stepped in to help the baffled cameramen, asked the children what they wanted for Christmas. Herbert III listed his desires: a policeman's uniform, badge and club, a wagon and a "train engine-a big one." Peggy Anne wanted "a very big doll," several smaller ones and a wagon. Their six-month-old sister Joan, who had arrived in Washington in the arms of Nursemaid Florence Gehlke (see cut) was not brought...
...stricken Meuse Valley thought to bottle a sample of the fog before it blew away. With nothing to work upon last week (for bereaved relatives delayed, attempts to obtain the bodies of fog-victims for autopsy), scientists could only guess what may have happened.

Another lion figure of more elaborate design is worthy of earnest attention. This beast, whose body is covered with red paint and whose mane, head, tail, and paws are in a splendid, firm, yellow glaze, has not perhaps the natural grace of the first one but substitutes for it a force and feeling of austere power that the other lacks. If one allows the imagination to roam one can see here the beginning of the supremacy of realism in Babylonian and Assyrian art. This piece is not the conquest; it is but a preliminary invasion...
...Victor Bruce was loafing along in easy jumps. Flight Lieut. C. W. Hill, another Australian, flew his Moth into Surabaya, Java two days ahead of Hinkler's schedule. But there Kingsford-Smith, who left England four days behind, was close on his tail. The two were nearly even for the last hazardous lap across the Timor Sea. Then Lieut. Hill was forced down on the Island of Timor and, in trying to take off again, his plane overturned. The Southern Cross Jr., sweeping past Timor in an attempted nonstop dash to Port Darwin, ran into headwinds and was also...
