While Owner Ford was profitably retiring from his excursion into railroad circles, those circles were profoundly agitated by the probability that the Pennsylvania was behind the D. T. & I. purchase. Reasonable seemed this conclusion. Last month was purchased Canton, Baltimore's bustling freight and industrial suburb, by a similarly unnamed principal which later proved to be the Pennsylvania (TIME, June 24). Furthermore, the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton was one of the roads included in the Baltimore & Ohio's plan for a greater and longer B. & O. (TIME, March 4). Just as the Canton purchase was virtually a slice carved...
...Colyumist Phillips suspect that WILFRED J. FUNK might be neither a great name taken in vain nor a nom de plume. A casual but curious reader informed Colyumist Phillips that Wilfred John Funk is the name of a 46-year-old, married resident of Montclair, N. J. (Manhattan suburb).

Aviation has developed four main types of craft for civilian use-gadabouts to hop from one suburb to another nearby; sport planes, slightly bigger; coupes, sedans, coaches and cabins (all the foregoing may be flown comfortably by the owner pilot); limited commercial planes, which carry usually six passengers (these also come equipped with office furniture for the business executive, his secretary, his pilot); the great transports. Land planes, of course, were most numerous at Detroit. But notable is the number of amphibians, seaplanes and air yachts now on the market-Sikorsky, Fairchild, Keystone, Leoning, Boeing, Aeromarine, Klemm, American Marchetti...
...president of the Pennsylvania Railroad. They were: Roberts, 1880-1897 Thompson, 1897-1899 Cassatt, 1899-1906 McRea, 1906-1913 Rea, 1913-1925 Atterbury, 1925- Fifth on the list in point of time, but not of stature, is Samuel Rea, who died last week in his home at Bryn Mawr, suburb of Philadelphia. Of him said Frederick D. Underwood, onetime (1901-26) president of Erie Railroad: "I have known four presidents of the Pennsylvania preceding Mr. Rea ... he stood head and shoulders above them...
