Into Los Angeles from his $2,000,000 castle in Death Valley chugged Walter Scott ("Death Valley Scotty") in an old, rebuilt Franklin. Snorted he: "These city trails ain't no place for this locomotive. It's a specially made model for traversing the desert mountains into the Valley. . . . It goes 700 miles without stopping. Got a 100-gallon gas tank and carry ten gallons...

Shipping Board, she turned up huge losses, spent much of her time at her Hoboken pier...

From his 14 ships, all named after Saxon castles, he chose three of the biggest and best, had them rebuilt as combined passenger & automobile transports in the New York-Antwerp trade, with stops at Southampton and Havre. The 16,000-ton Königstein was equipped to carry 300 passengers, the 14,000-ton Ilsenstein and Gerolstein 180 each. All three could still carry 450 cars apiece as against the 600 they...
