...reading sections of the magazine each night by candlelight after I had finished writing up my day's notes, and restraining myself with great difficulty from swallowing it all at one gulp. I do not think a magazine could have been put to a more exacting test of its interest. Not only was it a tremendous relief to me there, but its news was so effectively presented and so complete that when at the end of my expedition I went down to the Coast to meet my wife, who was just ten days out of New York...
...beacon is to be left at Newark for airlines to test the needed new equipment (a 15-lb. receiver for the landing beam) and for airline pilots to get practice. It constitutes the magnum opus of Col. Clarence Marshall Young, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics, whose routine resignation was on file last week, and his first aide, Col. Harry Harmon Blee.

...Yale match is going to be a test that will definitely determine the caliber of the Crimson racquet-men. Last week a few of the squad got together an informal team, drove down to Princeton, and were defeated 4 to 1. Yale has previously downed the Tiger aggregation, and now the question is, can they repeat their success in Cambridge. It is not an easy question to answer, but I feel that Cowles' outfit will come out on top. The loss to Princeton does not prove a great deal, and the team, in its regular line-up, will have several...
