...assembly man for Henry Ford. Quitting as manager of all Ford plants in 1921, he soon joined Chevrolet. A tall, slightly stooped man with a big walrus mustache, Motorman Knudsen is a genius of production and a hero to all good Danish schoolboys. John C. van Eck, president of Royal Dutch-Shell's big U. S. subsidiary, Shell Union Oil Corp., was elected to the specially created post of executive committee chairman. He was succeeded by R. G. A. van der Woude, Dutch-born head of a Shell subsidiary...

...evening good Coblenzers jammed the Deutsches Eck again. Hoarse with jubilation and flush with beer they stared upward at floodlighted Fortress Ehren-breitstein, went "Aaah!" as rockets and bombshells burst in pyrotechnic brilliance. After the performance busy police turned thousands from the main road home, directed them to a narrow swaying pontoon bridge between Deutsches Eck and the mainland.
