Actually the nearest colliery is nine miles away [from Cardiff], and the great docks and ironworks are concentrated on the seaboard, whilst the purity and clarity of the air of the city itself and its hinterland are invariably a source of amazement to visitors...
...there were 105 summer theatres of all kinds, mostly scattered along the eastern seaboard from Skowhegan, Me., to Arden, Del. By last year there were 145. This year, Variety (which callously calls the summer theatre the "straw-hat stage," summer theatre actors "hayfoots" and "silo stagers"), lists 150. The summer theatre's gross is now about $5,000,000 in its annual three-month season.

Class A companies, of which there were 35 last...
...Virginia gentleman, George Washington, with large landed interests on both sides of the Alleghenies, began urging the construction of a canal to link the Atlantic seaboard with the trading centres of the Ohio valley.

F. was established as a compromise between those who wanted an entirely separate air force and those who wanted to keep the Army's wings tied securely to the ground command. But the entente was not sufficiently strong...
...Virginia on Tuesday will be no setup for the southerners have a fine team with plenty of hitting strength. Navy should prove to be the easiest encounter on the tour, while Georgetown will be by far the toughest. The Friars usually produce one of the best outfits in Eastern seaboard college circles. Lafayette is more or less of an unknown quantity, but Columbia will definitely be hard to beat. The Crimson trimmed them twice last year and the Lions will be out for blood this spring, hoping to knock the Mitchellmen right out of the League...
