The "Little Flower" Fiorello LaGuardia routing Tammany in New York. Al Smith donning the feathered bonnet of the "Happy Warrior." A new Gold Rush as Federal buying pushed prices up, revived the old boom towns of Colorado and Ohio buzzed with excitement at its own gold strike. Inventors are at their most active, and zaniest. Among them, the "Flying Windmill" which never quite got off the ground, the "Flying Flapjack," which did, and the dazzling Dymaxion Car, terrific even by today's standards!
