...visits, his object was not known, his movements veiled in mystery. Germans wondered if it were in connection with one of the several German banks in which he is heavily interested, or the German ballbearing industry in which he controls about 75% of production, or one of the great steel mills that consume the ore obtained from his Swedish mines. Last week the reason was clear. In the past there had been but two factors in the German match market. One was Swedish Match, the other the government-protected cartel* of independent manufacturers. Recently a new, disturbing agent had appeared...
...necessary millions herself, she coaxed Dr. Wilmers Negro office servant William to give her a list of rich former patients. There were 338 of them. All - people like Mr. and Mrs. Breckinridge, Herbert Livingston Satterlee (Manhattan lawyer), Ira Clifton Copley (Illinois publisher), Mrs. Edith Oliver Rea (Pittsburgh iron and steel manufacturer), Joseph Pulitzer (whose father was blind), Daniel Willard (B. & O. R. R. president)-contributed handsomely. The Wilmer Institute with its professional staff and equipments outclasses any like organization in the U. S. and ranks equal to the great eye clinics at London, Paris, Munich, Zurich, Vienna. Indeed, it surpasses...
Although rain was beating down on Cambridge, Md., last week, men enthusiastically lugged into the Choptank River a one-ton steel model of the steel islands (seadromes) which Edward R. Armstrong of Holly Oak, Del., proposes to anchor 375 miles apart across the Atlantic. The model, 1/32 the size of intended seadromes, consists essentially of a rectangular platform.

Air in the cylinders was sufficient to keep the device floating on the Choptank and the platform several feet above the water. Speedboats dashed around the model. Their...
...direct line. It is six miles long by four miles wide and only two miles below sea level, whereas the surrounding ocean is three to four miles deep. The difference in depth means thousands of dollars of savings to Mr. Armstrong and his financiers on the 3½ inch steel cable he is having laid to hold his floating island to its anchors. Those anchors are to be huge round bobbins which will dig into red clay of the submerged plateau and hold the seadrome from drifting. By next fall and before Bermuda's 1930-31- tourist season begins...
...studied largely by himself. His painting has traversed the usual "periods," Romantic, Classic, Modern. The Studio, though recent, gives little hint of his later manner. First prize at Carnegie is $1,500. But this year a special prize of $2,000 was donated by Albert Carl Lehman, Pittsburgh steel man, for the best purchasable painting. Painter Carena also won this prize, and his picture was bought by Donor Lehman. William J. Glackens, U. S. painter and illustrator, won the second prize ($1,000). His Bathers, Ile Adam, hot in color and thin in texture, is composed in a lively, anecdotal...
