...mile west of the airport, 800 ft. aloft, the big ship went into a spin, crashed into a grove of trees. Engineer, assistant, test-pilot, all were killed. To their graves they took the secret of the crash. Best guess: sudden shifting of the bags of lead ballast...
Extant is an old French print showing the future King Louis XIV playing when dauphin with his Yo-Yo-a child's top so made that when thrown from the hand it starts to spin as its string unwinds, then winds up the string on itself and returns to the hand. During the past two years a Yo-Yo craze has swept Europe. Among smart Parisians, Berliners and Londoners are hundreds of exalted Yo-Yo addicts, notably Edward of Wales. Just before Edouard Herriot fell as Premier of France, a Paris weekly pictured his frantic appeals to all sections...
...best paper presented at the meeting went to Dr. Henry Eyring, 32, research associate at Princeton, for smart use of Nobel Laureate Max Planck's Quantum Mechanics to explain how the elements hold together in chemical combinations. By mathematics he has shown how to make light hydrogen atoms spin clockwise or counterclockwise at will, how to introduce bromine into organic compounds most easily. By mathematics he has proved that pure fluorine is the least active of the halogen group of elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine), a fact which controverts accepted chemistry...
...carrying Instructor Hugh Copeland as passenger, steered her cabin monoplane for a near view. Presently she found herself face to face with a 60-ft. striped tomcat. Yielding to impulse, Miss Gibson plowed into the bag. The punctured fabric wrapped itself about the wing, put the plane into a spin. Miss Gibson cut off the ignition, saw the rooftops of Queens gyrating toward her. Then Instructor Copeland seized her shoulder, yelled...
...Gibson climbed over the back of the pilot's seat while the instructor eased down into it. In doing so she was whirled against the cabin door, which flew open. Her foot caught in a safety strap, saved her. Pilot Copeland pulled the plane safely out of the spin about 100 ft. above the chimney tops-so low that 700 persons telephoned a crash alarm to police...
