...start at Old Orchard was June 13, a fair day with western winds all the way across the Atlantic. On the long, white, hard beach were the Yellow Bird and the Green Flash, a Bellanca monoplane with Wright Whirlwind motor which Roger Q. Williams and Lewis E. Yancey planned to fly to Rome. The Yellow Bird was going to Paris. The two planes warmed up simultaneously. The Yellow Bird took off first, her tail drooping unusually. The Green Flash in starting crumpled a wheel and wrecked itself...
Details of the consolidation have not been announced, except that William Henry Crocker will undoubtedly head the united banks. American Trust Co. has long been associated with the name of John Drum, but as Banker Drum's resignation as American Trust Co. president shortly preceded the merger, it did not appear that the new institution would be at all a Drum enterprise. To most Californians, Banker Crocker is perhaps more a symbol than an individual-a symbol of wealth, position, dignity, correctness.

Last week it appeared that the B. & O. had waited too long, that another railroad had stepped in to make the Canton dream come true.

There is only one passenger automobile in Spitzbergen, two army-owned trucks in Bermuda. The Solomon Islands have two passenger cars and five trucks. Thus last week announced the U. S. Department of Commerce, presenting fresh statistics concerning the long familiar U. S. domination of the automotive world. Of a world's supply of 32,028,584 motor vehicles (exclusive of motorcycles, motorbobs, buckboards, etc.), 24,629,921 were in the U. S. A poor second was England with 1,128,200, closely followed by France with 1,098,000, and Canada, with 1,061,830. Germany, with...
Schmeling. Max Siegfried Adolf Otto Schmeling would be a long name to in scribe on the Tunney-Muldoon trophy which indicates the championship of the world. But Herr Schmeling, who is as soft-spoken as Tunney and as agreeable as Carpentier, would not object to his three middle names being left out. He it was about whom the long, loud, prefight ballyhoo was mostly centred last week, for he it is who is dempseyesque...
