...cod is to Massachusetts and the shad to Delaware, so is the lobster to Maine. Found only on the Atlantic coast from Henley Harbor, Labrador, to Cape Hatteras, N. C., the American lobster (Homarus americanus) is at its best off the coast of Maine, grows larger than its cousins down South. This advantage, upon which Maine's lobster industry was built, last week threatened to ruin it. Lobstermen setting their traps for the new season with halibut, herring and codfish heads anxiously questioned one another for news from Washington, where Maine's Congressmen Wallace Humphrey White...
...Hitherto, Bovril sales in the U. S. and Canada have been handled by Harold F. Ritchie, "world's greatest salesman," who owns Eno's Fruit Salt (morning-after tonic), Pompeian Cream (face restorer) and who recently purchased for several million dollars Scott's Emulsion (delicious white cod-liver oil). William S. Scull Co., the newly appointed sales agents for the U.

The ship's stewards asserted that more liquor was purchased that night than on five round trips to Bermuda, but the party was not rowdy. Next morning fog again bound the vessel off Cape Cod and it became apparent that it could not land in time for the game. Philosophically the passengers turned to Hochheimer wine. An electrician repaired the radio, wrecked the night before by a jealous accordion-player. Doubly disappointed was Walter J. Salmon who had elected to go to the game rather...
This procedure was not extraordinary. Mail planes have been catapulted from the Europa and Bremen and from the French Line's lie de France many a time. But never had it been attempted so far from New York. Mail planes heretofore have left ships off Cape Cod, 600 or 700 mi. from port. The Europa was 1.275 mi. out of New York. Six hours after leaving the steamer the seaplane alighted at Sydney, Cape Breton Island, discharged its Canadian mail, refuelled. Then it flew all night down the coast to Bridgeport. Conn., fuelled again, taxied up to the Europa...
