...duck incident herein outlined may seem farfetched, such is not the case. During the current month a Western press agent, exploiting a cinema of whaling days, planted a full-sized cardboard whale on the top of Pike's Peak, crawled inside it with a hundred siphons, projected the liquid in a towering stream through the creature's nose. The mystified populace stampeded from the plains to view the curiosity. The papers carried columns. My, how the money rolled in! Naturally, the papers are wary; so suspicious, in fact, that only an occasional "planted" story is successful. Necessarily...
...gross of $478,000,000 reported in 1921. Net income, however, was larger than in 1921, being $7,500,000 in the latter year and almost $13,000,000 in 1922. Total assets of the company aggregate $1,123,000,000, consisting of $441,000,000 fixed assets, and liquid assets of $681,000,000 (including Government securities and investments in affiliated companies). Current assets were $457,000,000, as against current liabilities...
...however, the Navy Department is studying a radical departure in airplane motors. Working on the famous Diesel engine principle, air may be compressed to 600 pounds per square inch or more than 40 times atmospheric pressure before delivery to the cylinder. With this enormous pressure liquid gasoline may be injected directly into the cylinder with the compressed air, without the necessity for a carburetor. The temperature of the mixture of fuel and air is so high that it will ignite spontaneously without any ignition system. The carburetor and the ignition systems are the great terrors of the flyer, as they...
...first concert of its third series, with Mme. Louise Homer assisting. In a long and trying program, traveling from Bach and Palestrina through Brahms to Bossi and Coleridge-Taylor they outdid themselves. Were their talents not so well known hereabouts, much might be said of their round and liquid sustained tones, their inclsive staccati, their impeccable diction, their lightnesses and their depths; as it is, a few words about their programme will suffice...
...bare feet of their superiors. From my reading in the records, I was able to identify these figures at once, by their insignia, as members of the Qua Quan Quot. Later our geologist explained that the men had evidently been mummified or petrified by the sudden explosion of a liquid used by the Incas for brilliant illuminating effects, such as red and green lights. The gas thus created, combining with a rocksecretion of volcanic origin, was enough to account for the explosion which had originally sealed the mouth of the cave and preserved these bodies through so many ages...
