...Shenandoah and the ZR3 with their 2,00,000 cu. ft. of gas or so, their lifting capacity of 150,000 Ib. will soon appear small and insignificant. Airships improve with size; the larger they are, the faster they can go and the greater the proportion of commercial load they can carry relative to their gross weight. Accordingly, the Good-year-Zeppelin Co. is planning on a 5,000,000 cu. ft. ship and the British are actually starting work on two ships of equal size...
...Charles G. Dawes, with the Evanston contingent, refusing to sit on the reviewing stand. There was a public marriage of a post commander from Winnebago, on a platform before the grandstand on the State fair grounds.

Natural resources are the keynotes to modern industrial progress--the United States had them and comparatively Europe did not. Industry in this country has now reached the point which Europe reached some time ago where it is no longer so dynamic that governmental control can prevent natural progress. And rather than argue for a return to unfettered competition, which as far as it was permitted quickly forced remedial measures...
