i . TWENTY YEARS OF RADIO AT SEA
Twenty years ago last week, the first radio call for help at sea ‘was
“answered. “Jack” Binns, then “Sparks”’—that is, wireless operator—on the
liner Republic sent out the S O S. Aid came promptly, and what would
otherwise have been an appalling catastrophe was whittled down to a bad
accident. A : k 3 :
Only twenty years—but think of the change. Before that historic call,
a ship in distress was alone in a pitiless waste. Now, Kipling tells us that
a tramp steamer cannot get a cockroach leg in one of its slide valves with-
t having half the North Atlantic ready to come to its help. Kipling exag-
“gerates a little; but the general idea is correct. That has been amply dem-
onstrated during the last week, when every newspaper has featured thrill-
~ ing stories of rescues at sea.
The world moves, and so fast that some of us get a little dizzy trying
to keep up with it. :

SR HOME OWNERSHIP RR 4
That America is rapidly becoming a nation of home owners and that
~ fully ‘half these homes are owned by men earning less than $2,000 a year are
revealed in a recent bulletin issued by Walter M. McDowell, president of
the United States League of Local Building and Loan Associations.
More than 90 per cent of the people who buy homes do not pay outright,
~ but borrow the money from building and loan associations or similar insti-
tutions, he reveals. :
~ “Any person who is willing to live within his income and who really
“wants a home can manage the small, regular and systematic deposit of a
~ few dollars each week or month to build up the required savings,” he
states. < :

EXPLAINING THE HIGH PRICE OF GAS
Robert W. Stewart, who recently secured a District of Columbia ac-
quittal of the charge of perjury, is fighting vigorously to retain the headship
of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, from which Mr. Rockfeller, Jr.,
- seeks to oust him. In the course of his appeal for support, Mr. Stewart
says: .
ep
diana company in 1918, at that time worth $170,000,000, and in ten
years; without asking one cent from the stockholders, has made it
into a company worth about $900,000,000, during which time it has
‘paid out over $200,000,000 in cash dividends.” :
Mr, Stewart's statement may not have much to do with the question
at issue, but it certainly explains the price of gasoline. =A group of allied
interests, of which the Standard is chief, have a practical though not a legal
monopoly of the oil business, and they charge all the traffic will bear.
No firm subject to genuine competition in an old and settled industry
multiplies its assets five-fold in ten years, while paying out cash dividends
greater than the original value. It just isn’t done. Financial magic of that
sort means monopoly and a rather ruthless monopoly at that.
Mr. Rockefeller, Jr., is fighting Stewart because the latter’s connection
with the Continental Trading Company fake and his contradictory state-
“ments before the Senate committee have given the oil industry a bad name.
rs For this, Mr. Rockefeller deserves credit. But it does not appear that Mr.
Rockefeller has any objection to the extortionate prosperity of which Mr.
vart boasts; and that, after all, is the mater of greatest and most last-
ing interest. ; ;

oi LATEST CROSS-CONTINENT FLIGHT
i The cross-continent flight of Frank Hawks and Oscar Grubb is at once
_magnificient personal achievement, and a proof that we are almost over
the threshold of a new era in transportation. :
ay / They flew from Los Angeles to New York in 18 hours and 22 minutes,
Mad weather two-thirds of the way. Hawks, the pilot, thinks they
could cut the time three hours with good weather, and probably he is
ight.
: 5 > The country was blanketed with clouds that sometimes forced him to an
altitude of 14,000 feet, and made it impossible for him to see anything be-
"neath him. There were rain and snow and variable winds, but he romped in
at three miles a minute on the finish.
The mechanic, Oscar Grubb—*“Phoebus, what a name to fill the speaking
trump of future fame”’—performed a near miracle of endurance and un-
faltering grit. 7 a ie
~The plane’s talk holds only 100 of the 475 gallons of gasoline needed.
The rest was packed in five-gallon cans in the cabin, filling it se that Grubb
had to be pushed in and the door shut behind him.
Then, for 18 hours, he pumped this gas into the tank slicing up the
empty cans with tinners’ shears to make room, and breathing the fumes of
the high-test fuel till he was almost unconscious at the landing.
A marvelous feat—and just as marvelous a propheccy. A few years
