...company's nation-wide network, largest operated by any single airway system in the U. S.,* was completed. More powerful stations at Columbus and Albuquerque can be used to speed messages "overhead," in stead of through all the intermediate points. Next step will be the installation of still stronger transmitters at New York and Los Angeles for direct transcontinental conversation. But the primary purpose of the system is for communication between planes in flight and the ground stations nearest them en route. Radioman Hoover designed the system and supervised the installations until tuberculosis laid...
Panacea. Like most panaceas for war, Major Bratt's is a little indefinite of outline, is stronger on its negative side. Disarmament he considers impossible. "There cannot be any disarmament, or even reduction of armaments worthy of the name, until the nations have begun, at least in principle, to prepare for some federation, or until some more effective form than the present League of Nations has been found." The next war must be postponed long enough to find some such effective force for peace. What Major Bratt would like to see is an alliance between Labor and Capital; then...

But Chevrolet's price on its six-cylinder line begins at $475; $20 cheaper than its 1928 four-cylinder...
...crowd which had called him "cheese champion" because he kept his title safe by fighting only at catchweights, Battalino ran into one of Chocolate's short, clean punches, went down for a count of eight, tottered when he arose, apparently hopelessly beaten. But he lasted out the round, was stronger in the next, soon began to pile up points, crowding Chocolate all the time, whipping clumsy but effective hooks to the blackamoor's kinky head and antlike thorax. After 15 rounds of it, referee and judges agreed that "cheese champion" was a real champion but the crowd, liking Chocolate...
