...straight and crooked reasoning, Dr. Reilly declared that the Institute had achieved a formula for Straight Thinking in Business. In Manhattan's Biltmore Hotel at 7 a. m. one morning last week, the Institute sprang Lesson No. 1 on 60 students, mostly admen of the questing, high-pressure type with whom Dale Carnegie's courses were popular. Dr. Reilly called the First Annual Straight Thinking Breakfast a "mental showerbath." As the pupils nodded over grapefruit, cereal, ham & eggs, coffee (price: $10), he revealed his formula: "1) Separate facts from opinions and look at the facts from the standpoint...
...silver Lockheed monoplane that Hughes had whipped off Floyd Bennett Field for Paris a little over four days earlier, was the most foolproof private plane that ever flew. It had two radio compasses, three radio transmitters (see p. 50), three receivers. It had a Sperry gyro-pilot, a new type drift indicator, robot navigational control. It had a crew of four men trained in the use of all these instruments...
Then James Prince and his followers arrived. Prince was the Basil Rathbone type-tall, hypnotic, a devil with women. "His power,'' said his wife, "is more than half in the way he affects women. . . .

...Into Billings from Seattle at 2:15 the same morning as the train explosion sailed Northwest Airlines Flight Four, a fast, ten-passenger Lockheed Zephyr transport airplane of the same type as that which crashed in Bridger Canyon six months before. After the Bridger Canyon crash, all such Lockheeds were ordered grounded for correction of an apparently faulty tail surface detail. The man who ordered that grounding was Bureau of Air Commerce Inspector A. L. Niemeyer. Later, all the Lockheed Zephyrs were satisfactorily corrected, were actively in the air again. Last week Inspector Niemeyer himself flew into Billings along with...
Sign King Leigh's real success dates from the day he got exclusive U. S. rights for 17 years on a moving picture-type of outdoor sign invented by Kurt Rosen berg of Austria-the electric animated cartoon. Although he has now eight ani mated "spectaculars" (as the trade calls them), on Broadway, his Old Gold display is by far the most ingenious and costliest ($27,000) of them all. Lit by 4,000 feet of neon tubing and 4,104 electric bulbs that flash off & on under photo-electric impulses, the advertisement, designed by Cartoonist Otto Soglow, runs...
