Skimming only a few feet above the ground,. Henri Detroyat, a daring French pilot,.pieks a flag off a two-foot mast with the tip of his plane's wing. The small flag or banner is impaled on a hook attached to the wing tip as the plane sweeps down. The stunt, latest in acrobatic thrillers, requires remarkable handling of the plane, because dipping the wing only a few inches too low would mean a crash. Really a city in itself, a vast eommunity housing project being built at Leeds, England, has 939 apartments. It is designed along modern architecturaJ lines, and resembles a walled city. B«sides the apartments, there are twenty 1 shops, a community hall, a medical ( clinic and power plant. The apartj ments will be ready for occupancy in 1938, and will have accommodation for I more than 4000 person*.
