HAPPENINGS
AS SEEN
BY
THE CAMERA'S EYE
Launched in the Dumawish river at Seattle, the glant Atlantic Clipper dwarfs small boats floating nearly and gives spectatore a graphite show of her tremendous size. Built by Boeing for Pan American Airways, the ship may be put into service this summer over either the Atlantic or Pacific and will then be the largest plane flying on any of the world's ale routes. The 72-passenger "flying hotel," built at a cost of more than $1,000,000, will sleep 40. The ship has a height of 281⁄2 feet, wing span of 152 feet and length of 109 feet.
Angered to the paint of threatening lynching when she kidnappers of 5-year-old James B. Cash, Jr., of Princeton, Florida, failed to return the boy with promised promptness after its father paid $10,000 ransom, citizens of the vicinity are pictured above as they gathered by hundreds to organino posses.
At the Races
Adding plenty of social prestige
to a recent afternoon's racing at the Belmont Park track outside New York City was Mra, Cor- nelios Vanderbilt, pictured above in the costume she chose for watching the nags gallop.
Proudly taking the role of mother in real life, Eleanor King, star of the motion picture "Birth of a Baby," is pictured above as she presents her recently born son for his camera debut in a New York hospital. The actress-mather in the educational film. which aroused wide controversy, is Mrs. Lowell Birrell in private life.
