America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields.Two American boys light the rocket which sends off their model rocket ship, which they have designed and built in a home workshop. Like millions of other young Americans, they are learning in home and school workshops the basic principles of aeronautics which will stand them in good stead in the air-minded post war world. Many U.S. high schools have recently added courses in aeronautics to their curricula.

Collecting pitchers is hobby of Virginian. Arlington, Virginia, July 2. Twenty five years ago Mrs. William B. King of Arlington Virginia, started her hobby of collecting pitchers. Now she has over 300 and only two duplicates in the collections. She has pitchers from almost every state in the Union as many from foreign countries. England has contributed a fine Toby, a pitcher in the shape of a cow and another which is a souvenier of Oxford. Included in her collection are also ones from Italy, Germany, France, Holland, Africa, Belgium, Mexico, and Bermuda. Her hobby seems much more interesting when you consider that all her pitchers are used on different occasions instead of being used for decoration only, 7/2/37
