- Kanea, Crete. King Constantine of Greece, visits the Isle of Crete and participates in the jubilation over the annexation to Greece of the island, long under the Turkish flag.
- Oakland, Cal. Many thousands of tons of rock are unleashed by dynamite from the hills to fill in the key route over the bay to the exposition grounds. Here is shown the method of dynamiting the rock.
- Berlin, Germany. Ice yachting, skating, sailing - in these, Berlin finds outdoor amusement during the cold days of this unusually severe winter.

- St. Louis, Mo. If boys want to fight, why shouldn't they? The police and school authorities here let youngsters satisfy that lust for battle and fight it out with snowballs.
