A lighthearted column invites readers to observe the clear skies and shooting stars. It muses on humanity’s insignificance, then wryly suggests two ways to view the heavens from a yard: stand with a backward-tilted neck or lie on an army cot in the open air.
The New York Herald Tribune notes that gliders seek treeless, level terrain with steady wind and rising air. German experts have found such a site at Corn Hill on Cape Cod, likened to Germany’s Kurische Nerung dunes where Ferdinand Schultz set a 14 hour 23 minute air endurance record in 1927. Peter Hesselbach reportedly stayed aloft for four hours in his Darmstadt glider.
Hesselbach has logged hours and five minutes of gliding, boosting belief he will soon surpass the Schultz record. The piece notes prior German and Wright era records and cites Lufthansa training gliders and Cape Cod flights as growing public and pilot interest.
Alfred E. Smith is praised by Washington photographers for his camera appeal and poise. The piece notes his bold features and skill in posing, compares him to La Follette, and contrasts him with Hoover and Coolidge. It also recounts photographers coaxing Representative MacGregor into a pie pose in front of cameras.
A brief verse fragment by Robert Bridges expresses a wish that death comes to the speaker first, desires a happy home, and urges a beloved to keep the child close. The speaker asks the beloved to sing or read to the child the songs created for them, conveying intimate, reflective sentiment.
A fragment of Edgar A. Guest poem reflects on universal human equality and the barriers of wealth and death. It contrasts daily labor and rest with the inevitability of death and the futility of hoarded riches. The piece urges living fully while acknowledging mortality and shared humanity.
A fragmentary narrative featuring Billy Beat-Hill and Boat-Bill among shore birds and sea life. Characters discuss humor, predation, and moral lessons as they observe a red moon rising, debating whether to sail inland or flee danger. The tale blends dialogue with fable like scenes and concludes with a prompt to move on to the next segment.
A column-style portrait of New York life featuring Frank Hoey the Central Park farmer for 26 years, battles over Bible thefts in hotels, Laura Lee Rogers the Nomenclator, and New York’s booming naming industry. It notes public fountains, illegal book distribution, and bootlegging as sideline ventures amid a city of wealth and spectacle.
Advice column on ideal husband types and letting time decide. A reader from Youngsville asks how to choose between two boys while parents weigh in. Mrs Lee suggests age matters, know the suitors well, seek parental input, and avoid rushing a decision.
A humorous mother anecdote leads to a discussion by Dr. James P. Walsh on how laughter benefits health. The piece explains laughter triggers mechanical action in the liver and intestines, improves respiration, and exercises all organs, while cautioning against using humor to excuse obesity. It promotes regular laughter or at least smiling as daily duty and outlines abdominal exercises from The Tommy Ten. Readers are invited to request pamphlets by sending coins and a stamped, self-addressed envelope to Dr Lulu Hunt Peters at the Warren Tribune.
