...ideal craft with which to comb submarines is now being constructed. Henry Fond, otherwise known as the manufacturer of popular automobiles, has become a ship-builder. On his ways at Detroit he has already laid the keel of a future terror of the seas. Since the Government found that Ford could turn out a most capable though small model of a normal-sized auto, it has requested him to devise a destroyer on the same principles. These boats will be completed as rapidly as possible, probably...
Unlike a first-class flivver, speed is to be the prime requisite, for to catch the elusive U-boat one must be able to sail circles around it. As is to be expected, comfort will not be found in anything built at the Ford plant. Much less will Wilhelm II rejoice at the thought of these pests among his imperial submersibles, for he can no longer rest assured of his weekly and ever-weakening toll of Allied vessels.

...rate the long and short of the matter is that baked beans must be preserved even if the pork law has to be changed for their benefit. For just as Milwaukee is noted for its beer, and Detroit for its Ford, so, too, Boston is known on account of the bean. Any blow at its prestige is a slap at Boston. Indeed, Daniel was cast into the lions' den for not bowing before Darius' idol; if the commissioners had erred they might have suffered similarly and as a penalty for snubbing the sacred bean they would doubtless have been cast...
