...official is to keep the game fast, clean, and under control. By that I do not mean that it should be a game of indoor football; but a great many officials have been too strict in handling a game. At present many games are being won from the foul line instead of from the floor. A uniform type of official who will speed up the action is needed; and I believe that the meeting at the end of the month is an excellent step toward the solution of the problem...
...could this weak-at-the-ends situation be remedied? Very easily, said the B. & O. last week. First, let us take over the Wabash. Running west from Buffalo and Toledo, the Wabash goes through Indiana and Illinois, gives us an additional line into St. Louis and an entirely new line into Kansas City, Des Moines and Omaha. Then if we could also have the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville, and the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton, and build a new line south from Toledo through Ohio, we would have our northern arm (Toledo to Chicago) and our southern arm (to St. Louis) nicely connected...
Surely hostile will be the Pennsylvania, which only last year bought control of the Wabash and might well object to relinquishing this major line (2,400 miles). The Pennsylvania is also understood to be sympathetic with the ambitions of Charles Farrand Taplin, who is trying to put together a fast coal route from Toledo to the Atlantic and all of whose prospective roads (particularly the Western Maryland) are included in the B. & O. plan. The Pennsylvania, affluent, central, well satisfied with existing conditions, has no more reason to applaud new consolidations than Great Britain had reason to applaud Napoleon...
...ordinary motorcar engine, with its 4, 6 or 8 cylinders set in a line, or its 6, 8 or 12 cylinders arranged in a deep V. has much less wind resistance than the radial airplane motor. Cooling by water requires bulk and weight, yet many a large and powerful plane uses Packard and Curtiss water-cooled models...
...going on. Diesel engines burn fuel oil. But Diesel engines are ponderous. Packard's triumph is that its engineers have designed a light-weight Diesel-type motor that burns cheap fuel oil efficiently, and is air-cooled. Although it is a radial, its invention gives promise of an "in-line" air-cooled successor...
