...York. In Manhattan, Mrs. Ruth Sears Baker Pratt, society widow, defeated Phelps Phelps, "Tammany Republican" for a G. O. P. nomination for Congress. In Queens, queer, sprawling borough, of New York City, lately notorious for a sewer-pipe scandal, the political heir of the scandalized Democratic administration, Bernard M. Patten, was renominated for Borough President, beating a "clean government" candidate...
...everyone expected, eight long-trousered, pipe-smoking Britishers were too weak to walk off with the Walker Cup, which eight be-knickered, cigaret-smoking golfers retained for the U.

...miles north of the Azores. About two-and-a-half hours later, the steamer Tamakura saw them winging eastward at a position 215 miles northeast of that reported by the Aztec. Manifestly they either were lost or deliberately returning toward Europe. Near Cape Finisterre, clogging in a gasoline feed pipe forced them to descend, the impact smashing the plane's wings. The duo, swimming near the disabled plane, were immediately rescued by the crew of the Samos. They had described a giant arc over the Atlantic; with a minimum cruising speed of 90 miles per hour, they must...
