...Goal was San Francisco, but fog shut in, the flyers grew exhausted, and finally they turned back from Eugene, Ore., landed at Pearson Field, the Army's air base at Vancouver, Wash. Bewhiskered, red-eyed and tottery, they stumbled from their plane, having covered about 5,288 miles in 63 hr., 17 min.-second longest flight in history* and one of the most important in charting an uncharted airway. The trio dragged themselves to the home of Brigadier General George C. Marshall, field commandant, drank his cognac, gobbled his breakfast, used his razor, then fell into his beds while...
Great Britain, France, Russia and Germany are aiming at airfleets of at least 5,000 planes. The U. S. Army's authorized goal is 2,320 planes, the Navy's 1,910.

With the same serene confidence in his destiny that once made him master of the nation's oil industry and the world's first billionaire, he believed he would achieve his goal. But last week, as it must to all men, Death came at the low hour of 4:05 a. m. to John Davison Rockefeller at "The Casements" his winter home in Ormond Beach...
...which are organized and financed by a group of publicity experts, labor pirates, professional trouble-makers and highly paid agitators, sitting in richly decorated offices hundreds of miles away; strikes which are planned for months in advance, in which every exigency is carefully provided for and in which the goal is not better conditions for the working men but increased war-chests and amplified political power--these strikes are supremely dangerous, flagrantly illegal in every sense and potential tinder-boxes for they will result in a desperate industrial war sooner or later.
