Great Activity in All Coun- tries and All Fields of EndeavOr in Evidence Throughout 1929.

HtoSL cFenllul Tn all history.
 Great activity in all fields of hu- man cndeavor and throughout all the countries of the civilized world provided big news for the front pages of the newspapers on nearly every day, and a great proportion of this news told of forward progress made by the scientists, diplomats. aviators, educators, and other world leaders.
