...policemen are as genteel as tall, bland Thomas Wentworth Russell, whose family (the Dukes of Bedford) have been potent in British politics almost continuously since Henry VIII. Few policemen are as magnificent, for his white dress tunic with its glittering scimitar is splattered with stars and medals. Few policemen are busier, for Thomas Wentworth Russell is not only Chief of Cairo's police, but spends much of his time as Director of the Narcotics Intelligence Bureau of Egypt, a position equivalent to that of world's chief narcotic sleuth. Because of his intense campaign to shut...
Secrets Act. Here was a real attraction to place beside the Crown Jewels, Henry VIII's armor and the spot where Anne Boleyn lost her head. Playing up the mysterious Prisoner for all he was worth, London's Daily Express printed a picture showing Tower Green packed with spectators gawking at a tall soldierly figure in a Glengarry bonnet, inked out in silhouet. Even more tickets were sold at the news that the face under the Glengarry bonnet was young and good looking...

...Lieuts. Thomas G. W. Settle and Wilfred Bushnell, winners of last year's U. S. meet. After 40 hr. in the air they were forced down with a defective valve near the Polish-Latvian frontier-about 921 mi. from Basle. Pilot Van Orman's Good-year VIII was second with 830 mi., France's Petit Mousse third with 739 mi. Near Warsaw the champion Navy bag drifted so low that laborers seized a drag rope, were hauling the ship down until angry Pilot Settle threw a sand bag at their heads...
...British Court is officially at St. James's Palace (named after Eton College's hospital on the site which Henry VIII bought in 1532). Here men are received by George V at levees, ladies being presented at Buckingham Palace, where Their Majesties reside. Thus the Court of St. James's (Palace) is the form in common use. But Subscriber Church is quite right in his citation of the official ruling. Henceforth TIME will use the simpler form. Also for simplicity TIME will continue to call George V "King of England," rather than (officially) "of Great Britain . . . King...
