...linear distance of the Spokane-New York-Spokane shuttle is 7,200 miles. The air distance traveled by the Sun God was approximately 10,000 miles. The added distance resulted from the pilots having to detour some bad weather spots. "At Rock Springs in the heart of the Rocky Mountains we found it necessary to fly between ten and twelve thousand feet. . . . Bad air at North Platte made refueling almost impossible. . . .

There is, inevitably, much routine work-conventionally graceful garden groups, conventionally austere memorials to Generals and Admirals.

...domestic films sent abroad measured 138,656,880 linear feet and were worth $5,417,745. Last year, similar exports were valued at $6,181,917 and totaled 170,347,342 feet.

...fresh water. On this surrounding prairie, there lies a town called Clearing. Here on a piece of open ground, workmen have been busy laying a great amount of twelve-inch water-mains. They are the most curious water-mains that have ever been laid. There are 72,000 linear feet of them, connected with seven tons of lead to make the joints airtight. The labor of laying them alone is said to have cost $7,500. There is no water nearby nor anybody to use water. What is more, the pipe runs approximately in a rectangle 1,800 ft. long...
