...Cheyenne, the Government's civil suit to cancel the lease of the Teapot Dome Naval Oil Reserve to Harry F. Sinclair (TIME, Mar. 23) wound to an ineffectual close. The Government charged conspiracy and attempted to connect up the lease with payment of alleged bribes to ex-Secretary of the Interior Fall. A payment of $25,000 in Liberty Bonds in 1923. after Mr. Fall had resigned from office and was in Mr. Sinclair's employ, was established. But the defense argued that this was a legitimate loan and had nothing to do with the Teapot Lease...
...Records for speed and altitute fall before American army pilots, but still the fact remains that there is not a single commercial air line in this country.

Air lines with regular schedules now connect all the principal cities, while several competing routes join the more important capitals.

It went to Cheng Chow on the Pekin-Hankow railroad, then west to the end of the railroad that will some day connect the coast with the western provinces...
...moon, a golden skirted lady and gold stars. You stared at this magazine because there, beside the lady's golden skirt, in big red letters, the list of contributors looked so extraordinary. You had heard all the names before, but for a moment you could in no way connect them with a news-stall. It was like running across a bishop in a saloon or seeing your wife about to play quarter- back for the 'Varsity. "Hullo, what are you doing here?" you said, as you read: "Heine, Dumas, Kipling, Gaborian, Tolstoy, de Alarcon, Anatole France, Robert Louis...
