...Limited (Montreal-Chicago) was brought to an unscheduled halt near Dundas, Ont. Ahead the engine's searchlight picked out a dark jumbled mass. Walking down the tracks trainmen heard moans, screams, shouts. Farther on they saw scattered Christmas presents, a blood-spattered doll with smashed legs, a fox terrier whimpering over a man's mangled body, another body without a head. Upended on the brink of a 150ft, cliff was a wooden railroad coach with screaming people inside. From the splintered debris of two other coaches came sounds of death and destruction...
...Pilot James Robert ("Jimmy") Wedell in 1933 has long been the goal of a heavyset, square-jawed Frenchman named Raymond Delmotte. One day last week, after a year of trying, 40-year-old Pilot Delmotte made five more unsuccessful attempts. On the sixth try, with his fox terrier mascot "Tailwind" in the cockpit, he shot his Caudron Renault monoplane four times over a measured course at Istres, zipped so fast (321 m.p.h.) on one lap that he averaged 314.1 m.p.h. for the four, set a new record. To Pilot Delmotte, for his pains, the French Air Ministry promptly awarded...

So had her terrier Jumbo and her canary Nanki-Poo. For Mrs. Ada Littlejohn it seemed at first like just one more tragedy in her life when the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company announced it would give Gilbert & Sullivan in the U.S. this season (TIME, Sept. 17). But then she reckoned her slender income and decided to go along...
...mechanical means, did better (TIME, April 30 et seq.). Slowly Dog No. 3 learned to crawl, sit up on its haunches, eat, bark, snap flies. Last week it was eating 12 oz. of meat per day. But it could not stand alone, did not behave like the normal mongrel terrier it had once been. Lean, jet-haired Dr. Robert E. Cornish concluded that a taste of death had irreparably injured its brain...
