...feet as they do from 8,000. With their proven flight range, they constitute a first-line of defense against enemy war-boats far at sea off either coast from bases far inland. Yet the same go-easy policy prevails as when the "flying fortress" squadron (2nd Bombardment Group) which circled South America last year was ordered to erase its motto, Mors et Destructio ("Death and Destruction"), from its coat-of-arms. The bomber boys wonder if the higher-ups would like them to adopt the motto "Love and Kisses...
Dollars & Men. Had the U. S. not entered the War quite a number of U. S. citizens might have made far more money. On the $500,000,000 British and French loan of October 1915 a group of American bankers headed by the House of Morgan made $9,000,000 on the spread between the purchase price (96) and the selling price (98). Of this sum the Morgan firm received $66,000. From its 1% commission as purchasing agent for England and France Morgan & Co. got $30,000,000. All that ended when the U. S. entered the War, when...
Nobody knows whether or not there is animal life on the planet Mars; nobody knows whether or not it is possible to reach Mars with a radio signal. In 1924 a group of radio engineers trying to tune in Mars heard signals which they claimed they could not identify with an Earthly source.

They thought they might succeed...
Last fall Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold accused the American Medical Association of being a trust. Said he, the A. M. A. had "restrained trade" by closing the doors of Washington hospitals to doctors employed by Group Health Association, Inc., a voluntary health-insurance club of Government employes. In December a special Grand Jury indicted the A. M. A. for violating the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. The A. M. A.'s demurrer claimed that the practice of medicine is a profession, not a trade, and hence is not subject to the Sherman...
China Boy and I've Found A New Baby (Bud Freeman and the Summa Cum Laude; Bluebird). First recordings of Manhattan's newest and most exciting hot band, a cooperative group consisting of Freeman (saxophone), Peewee Russell (clarinet), Eddie Condon (guitar) and five others who permanently dance-banded together after being assembled to play for the Class of 1929's reunion in Princeton last June. Sound as well as sassy, the Summa Cum Laudes are all musical veterans, and their China Boy-classic touchstone for rhythm bands-is fit to file alongside the historic Whiteman versions...
