...discussion. For the first five years this country kept clear of any negotiations and showed no official sympathy. In the next quinquennial division financial help and sympathy were forth-coming from across the waters and immediately German business rallied. The industrial power of the German nation was rebuilt and the country was aided in regaining its sense of pride. The third period is still in evolution but the progress made in it will depend to a great extent on American interest, as already stated...
...Again. From Lisbon last week the Dornier flying liner DO-X resumed its transatlantic passage begun three months ago at Lake Constance, Switzerland. The wing destroyed by fire at Lisbon had been rebuilt (TIME, Dec. S). Some of the fine interior fixings had been pulled out to make way for more fuel. The proposed course direct to the U. S. had been abandoned for a route via Rio de Janeiro. And Lieut. Clarence H. ("Dutch") Schildhauer, former U. S. Navy flyer, had returned from the U. S. to his post as copilot. The DO-X carried a crew...
...Central Trust & Savings Bank. Its location is in that part of Gary known as "across the tracks," the great flat area where thousands of steelworkers dwell. The bank was established 21 years ago, and there are only two larger ones in the city. Several years ago it was rebuilt, given a black marble front, four marble pillars two and a half stories high.

Despite a 30-m.p.h. wind, despite her own admitted fright and premonition of failure, she took off last week from Havana to return across the Gulf. She never...
...draw a sharp distinction," said Preserver Kennedy-North, "Restorers often ruin perfectly good pictures. For example an enormous number of paintings are being ruined by the application of new backings with glue when they are being rebuilt. This practice is absolutely ruinous because the glue attracts dampness.* Let me point out to the chemists of the world that there is an excellent field for them in the search for a non-hydrous glue." Mechanical-minded Professor Koegel of the Karlsruhe Technical High School came forward with a new method of registering the authenticity of paintings: two wafer-thin sections...
