Dinosaur Eggs in Gotham Planetary Expedition
Dr Henry Fairfield Osborn, president of the American Museum of Natural History, hailed Mongolia's Gobi desert expedition as the most successful of three years, returning with 25 dinosaur eggs, 72 skulls, 12 complete specimens, and 15 tons of fossils. Roy Chapman Andrews led the team, while Osborn pursued inland field work in Mongolia’s eastern regions, supporting the theory that primitive humans and animal ancestors originated there. The party traveled with camels, vehicles, and a precarious flour supply, and Osborn’s ship left Tokyo for Kobe just 20 hours before a major earthquake.

Cuts Slice Off Side of Mountain New York
A slice is being taken off the side of a mountain at Garrison New York to make room for a four track route on the New York Central railroad. Drills and steam shovels relocate the tracks to move them away from the Hudson river shore where landslides have dropped rock and earth into deep water. The relocation is east of the river at a safe distance from the bank. Chief Engineer George W Kitredge directs repairs to the roadbed where recent slides endangered the southbound track. Both main tracks are now protected against undermining.
