...church adopted the Navy pennant, for use indoors alongside the U. S. flag. Because few churches hoisted pennants outdoors the question of propriety bothered no one until last week. Then the Navy Department was asked for an opinion. It shied away, saying that it could make no ruling about inland churches. While the Federal Council's Secretary Samuel McCrea Cavert went on investigating, last Sunday Queens Village Baptist Church continued to put God above Country...
...could drum up enough orders for rails to tempt the four steel companies into shading their price from $40 a ton (TIME, Oct. 16). Efficient Mr. Eastman promptly came through with orders for 844,000 tons. U. S. Steel's Taylor, Bethlehem's Grace, Inland's Block and Colorado Fuel & Iron's Roeder, the only railmakers in the U.

The gloomy curtain rolled inland over orchards and cotton fields before the lappings and lashings of the wind. Long muddy-foamed sea waves licked angrily at the shore, tumbled into the lowlands. At Corpus Christi a giant steam whistle blew its shrill warning blast at ten-second intervals. Streets were deserted, houses and storefronts had been hurriedly boarded up. The townspeople...
