...failure to rescue S-4 survivors, the most notable evidence brought out was that the officers in charge had not known about the trick of passing air through a submarine's "ears" (S.C. tubes) until too late; that Navy bureaucracy was at fault for the S-4 lacking soda lime (air purifier...
...Robert Livingston Clarkson looks rather like the young men who play football in college, sell bonds, put on weight as soon as they leave, and who appear at the halfway post, vigorous, talkative, ingratiating, and purring (some hours after the market has closed), with pleasure over ice & soda.

Four years ago Mr. Gray devised a new place to drop nickels- the Sodamat. From the original Soda-mat all a patron got for his nickel was an ice-cream soda or other-soft drink, mixed with mechanical generosity, despatch and cleanliness; automatically spouted into the glass after the plunk of the coin. On the second Sodamat model, there were electric lights. The next carbonated its own soda-water. The models...
