Within a few years the Antarctic was producing about 70% of the world's oil. Whalers have always cocked a dour eyebrow at the hullabaloo the world makes over explorers. Time & again they have gone to the rescue of an explorer in regions where they had been plying their regular trade for years. When Admiral Byrd went into the Ross Sea in 1929, when the ice was so thick that relatively few whaling expeditions bucked the pack, he found no less than 32 vessels at work. The Ross Sea whaling fleet is composed of big factory ships, each mothering...
...reduce the trial to common sense. The rest is part of our delightful set-up of criminal justice. There is every reason to believe that this case is conclusive enough to result in the eventual electrocution of the thugs. But there will first be the long hullabaloo of a trial, the endless appeals and decisions, and all the rest of the involved and expensive claptrap which our highly advanced civilization finds necessary in the extermination of its vermin...
While the charges which Dr. Wirt has levelled against the Brain Trust seem at first sight to be an effective bid for publicity, it is becoming apparent that beneath the external hullabaloo there is at least some basis for such an indictment.

It is hard to believe that an administration which has given so many public offices to party workers and political chieftains, in disregard of the principle of merit which for many years has been the hope of the better Government forces in America, has any such idealistic purpose in view. But in this respect the Democrats...
Lincoln, Henry Ford's sole representation at the Show, featured better ventilation on its line of V-12's. Franklin, only air-cooled make in the U. S., slyly poked fun at the hullabaloo over knee-action wheels by exhibiting an Airman equipped with the customary soft full elliptical springs. Big blocks under the right front and the left rear wheels left the Airman standing perfectly level. Stutz, still hammering on Safety as its chief selling point, showed its improved single and dual valve lines...
