...weird rainbows. A roaring, shrieking sound filled the heavy air. Fifty city blocks were declared under martial law to prevent a match or spark being struck there. The schools closed. Cause of all this was an oil well just beyond the southeastern city boundary, known as the C. E. Stout No. i. It blew in last week and in eight minutes, seeming well under control, produced 350 bbl. of oil. Then sand came with the driving liquid, cut through the valves, demolished the surmounting derrick. The well turned into the "wildest ever seen," much more powerful and dangerous than...
...Short, stout President Pearson has been in trouble with society members before. In 1910, shortly after he assumed virtual leadership, he accepted for the societies a $25,000 gift from Winchester Arms Co. Horrified bird lovers made him give it back. Since then subdued criticisms have been heard from time to time, occasional horrified ejaculations that a man with a gunner's heart had crept into the Society, was perverting its policies.

In making his report he said: "I want to make it clear that at heart I still hold the same views concerning our unit banking system. . . . I am as much as ever opposed to the creation of a banking monopoly in the hands of a limited...
...make money without a mail contract. The Watres Air Mail Bill was intended to combine the two services wherever possible. For those reasons Aviation Corp. last week yielded its Cleveland-Chicago passenger service (Universal Division) to National Air Transport, which carries the mail. N. A. T., which recently acquired Stout Air Lines (its sister subsidiary in United Aircraft & Transport), immediately placed in service a new fleet of Fords, with streamlining and engine-cowling that boost the cruising speed to 125 m. p. h. Aviation Corp. meanwhile turned attention to the new southern transcontinental airmail route which (if Avco accepts...
