...Daumier earned 30 years' living, six months in jail, and undying fame as an artist. Beginning in the second decade after the Napoleonic Wars, hardworking lithographers including Traviès, Gavarni and Grandville filled these sheets with caricatures of Bonapartist reactionaries and canting bourgeois. Daumier, who worked hardest & longest, died blind and penniless in 1879 in a house given to him by Corot. No cartoonist of Daumier's power, few painters so well endowed or so frustrated, have lived since. Because he was a great humanitarian as well as a great draughtsman, his work, like that of Goya...
...series which started with a Crimson 12-2 victory in 1922 is accredited so Charley Buell. Buell opened the scoring as Brickley had closed it, with a field goal from the 18 yard line. A Dartmouth back was later to eclipse this feat by kicking the longest goal in the series, a 48 yard placement...
...Federal grand jury began sitting in Madison, chosen because Wisconsin is the most centrally located of the ten States in question, because all but two of the indicted companies do business there. A year ago having examined some 18 tons of documents and endured sweltering heat for the longest period any Federal grand jury has ever sat in a Department of Justice case, the jury charged the defendants with price-fixing by: 1) operating two buying pools to acquire gasoline from independent refiners at artificial prices; 2) selling gasoline to jobbers under long-term contracts in which price would...
...Indiana ("Stanolind"). Construction and delivery of the tank was accompanied by a great shattering of records. It is the biggest oil evaporator tower in existence. Best man to build it, Stanolind found, was Morris W. Kellogg of Jersey City. From Lukens Steel Co. Mr. Kellogg ordered the longest slabs of special steel any fabricator ever turned out for such work. They measured 50-ft. long, 10-ft. wide, 2 5/16-in. thick and were curved to make a cylinder of 15-ft. diameter. Kellogg boilermakers welded them together and X-rayed every inch of welded seam to make sure that...
...remove invisible internal stresses from the steel, the mammoth tank was rolled into a vast annealing furnace, where oil burners made it red hot. Workmen inched the completed 230-ton tank out of the Kellogg shop and onto two of the ten longest (55-ft.) flatcars in the world. Railroad curves, bridges and tunnels between Jersey City and Whiting did not permit freightage of Stanolind's tank. So the Lehigh Valley R.R. hauled it two miles to the west bank of the Hudson. All traffic on the railroad had to stop while this went...
