Radio Corp. Dealing in those luxuries of life which U. S. standards of living have made almost necessities, Radio Corp. of America reported approximately an even 100 million dollars of gross earnings. Net income was $22,802,000, almost twice its 1927 figure of $11,799,650. Radio Corp. earned $11.80 a share (on shares outstanding at end of 1928). As its stock had a 1928 high of 420, it was selling up to approximately 35 times earnings, thus demonstrating that a market leader pays little attention to "times earnings" standards...
Briar Pipes. Reduction from 60% to 30% or 40% was asked for Dunhill and other pipes. Others asked a duty of $10 per gross on pipes sold for $1 or less...

It resulted chiefly from...
Railroads. Though passenger traffic on Class I railroads (184 main trunk lines) was the smallest in the last 20 years, freight traffic increased ½ to 1% and by cutting operating expenses most roads showed larger earnings per share in spite of many decreases in gross income. These roads reported net operating income of approximately $1,200,000,000, a return of 4.71% on their property investment. The 1927 return was 4.38%. The following table (from Dow, Jones & Co.) gives 1928 and 1927 surplus after charges and earnings per share of the following roads: 1928 1927 Baltimore & Ohio...
...help it, to anyone being married by Church service who has been divorced. "I am not going to make the word of God a blasphemous farce [by condoning divorce]. No man has a right to ask a bishop to be a party to any such disgusting and gross act of blasphemy. If you don't like it, go to a register office and say 'I will take you until you make life absolutely impossible, and then I will be done with you.' That is the honest thing...
