Officers are selected from the ranks of the soldiers and are trained for nine months at one of the army's four schools. They must be high-school graduates. Courses are short on arts but long on fundamentalism, homiletics and crowd psychology. One of their textbooks is the army's Orders & Regulations, which contains advice on how to handle toughs ("He should let them see that they have not worn out his love . . ."), how to conduct "Hallelujah Windup" sessions, how to select a wife or husband. Officers are not allowed to marry outside the army...
...entered the army's Toronto training school, left it nine months later to deal with a wayward world. He became one of the army's most accomplished performers on the euphonium. Ernest could make men cry with his deep-throated horn. He married British-born Ann Vickers, daughter of a well-to-do businessman, who had marched to the army from the Episcopal Church. In 1914 he sailed aboard the Empress of Ireland for a London convention with 300 of Canada's top Salvationists. In a thick St. Lawrence River fog, a freighter cut the Empress...
...perfect right to raise its prices. But with the steel shortage over, it might not get away with it. Big Steel's customers certainly would not like the $80 million-a-year increase in their steel bill, especially in the light of steel profits.

But the Kurth achievement that most East Texans boast about, and the one that is of prime importance to the Southern economy, is newsprint. Set up only nine years ago as the South's first newsprint producer, Kurth's $18 million Southland Paper Mills, Inc. last week was rolling out enough newsprint (132,718 tons last year) to supply some 70% of Southern newspapers, and was grossing $15 million a year...
When the Cunard Lines' 45,600-ton Aquitania steamed majestically into New York Harbor on her maiden voyage in June 1914, admiring New Yorkers called her "the most beautiful ship in the world." Built at a cost of more than $10 million, the four-stacked* Aquitania, with her nine decks, and quarters for 2,870 passengers, marked a new peak in luxurious ocean travel. But at first she had little time to show...
