...Florida East Coast is in the hands of the courts, and since the last hurricane (TIME, Sept. 16) it has been seriously suggested that its over-water section beyond the Florida mainland would make a better motor road than a railroad.* But the Rogers' Virginian was so solvent last week that a banking group headed by Brown Harriman & Co. easily marketed a $10,000,000 issue of the road's 6% preferred stock at the thumping fat price of $112 per share...

The solvent is recovered from the oil by distillation; from the mash by steaming under pressure. Last week's jury of scientists looked along this line of operations for vulnerable spots. They found that two 4,000-gal. tanks of hexane had not exploded. Neither had the two 50,000-gal. oil storage tanks, nor the stills, nor the pressure apparatus. The blast, in fact, seemed to have...
