Large, handsome, healthy and vigorous, Viscountess Rhondda at 51 is chairman of seven companies, director of 24 others dealing in iron, steel, coal, shipping, newspapers. As her chief occupation she regards the editorship of Time & Tide, which she founded as a feminist weekly and which still employs only women in the office. Only child of the late David Alfred Thomas, Welch "coal king," she inherited his vast business interests, his title, his amazing vitality. As Lady Mackworth (she is divorced from Sir Humphrey Mackworth) she went to jail and hunger-struck in the Pankhurst campaign for women's suffrage...
...many things besides beer. Founder Adolphus' son August Busch managed to pay small dividends pretty regularly through the dry years by making near-beer, yeast, malt and corn syrups, truck bodies, cabinets, Bevo, ice-cream, ginger ale, Diesel engines for U.

Had his "English Journey" been taken in the sweatshops of New York, or in the coal mines of Pennsylvania, or in the troubled farm lands of Arizona, the picture would have contained but few lighter nuances, and the general overtone would have been strikingly similar...
...late the conversion of coal into fuel oil has been made commercially practicable in England. Long known, this process has been, until this summer, prohibitively expensive. By this rather sensational invention England is made more self-sufficient--the ancient British insularity is in part retrieved. No longer must the Navy depend entirely upon the Mesopotamian oil fields, and no longer will the coal mining industry languish under the threat of over-production and lack of market. British destiny may well hinge upon this one point--coals to Newcastle will become a moneymaking proposition. God save the King--though the rest...
