On March 24 the mammoth new 80,- 000-ton ocean greyhound, which was launched and named by Queen Mother Mary of England here September 26, 1934, will be gently maneuvered into the narrow Clyde-river and will pro ceed to sea under her own power en route to Southampton to be drydocked preparatory to her final speed trials and official commissioning. Two months later, on May 27, she will point her hows westward out of Southampton on her maiden voyage to New York. Her distinguished pas sengers on this voyage are expected to Include one or more members of the British royal family, probably the Duke and Duchess of York. Speed a Secret. Details of the vessel's potential speed are being kept a Jealously guarded secret, and the most that Is admitted Is that her engines will de velop approximately 200.000 horsepow er and will get her to New York in five days or under. Unofficially, the British feel no doubt that their latest marine wonder will develop around 34 knots on her trials, and everywhere there Is official con fidence that she will easily wrest the Atlantic blue ribbon from the French colossus, Normandie. The most rigid precautions are be ing taken by the builders aboard the vessel to Insure that the engineering secrets of their child will not be pre maturely disclosed. A request to be AFTER WORLD TITLE permitted to Inspect the sealed en gine room was bluntly refused. Potential Winner. A close examination of the new ves sel, of the delicate streamlining for ward, the beautiful proportions of the hull and superstructure and the reali zation of the unprecedented space given over below to the powerful ott- flred propelling machinery led to the conclusion that in the Queen Mary the British have a potential Atlantic winner. Despite her vast dead weight bulk, she sits the water as gracefully as a smart light cruiser. Her razor-like bows, obviously built for high speed, are like those of a crack destroyer. Her lines forward are reminiscent of those of a yacht, and nowhere is there evident ‘the clumsiness and bulkiness usually associated with vessels of big tonnage. Everywhere the Impression is gained of speed and power. Only on mounting to the bridge, high above the waters of the Clyde river, and looking forward to the bow Is the observer able to realize the monstrous proportions of the new liner. Her space forward from the bridge ap pears to be easily as big as the total length of many liners of average size. Alaska Eskimos Facing Extinction, Doctor Says Ketchikan, Alaska.—The average life span of Alaskan Eskimos is only 2T years, due chiefly to tuberculosis, ao cording to Dr. Victor E. Levine, of the Creighton University School of Medi cine, in Omaha. Neb. He has com pleted his third trip to the Arctic to make medical studies of the Eskimos. Unless more physicians are provided to guard the health of the Eskimos, the race will become extinct In little more than a generation. Doctor Levine predicts. AccoTdlng to Grecian mythology, Pandora possessed a box said to con tain all the bless ings of life. In an hour of uncontrol lable curiosity, Pan dora opened this box, and all the blessings escaped except one, the blessing hope. Hope has always been appraised as one of the cardinal vir tues. “And no w abldeth faith, hope, and love." Hope al ways looks for ward. It is to the future, untried and undiscovered, that hope persistently directs our thought. Hope is never introspective. It would have us interpret the present ns an opportunity to be completed in the future. Hope would banish regrets and worry over past failures and dis close to us new possibilities which lie Just beyond. .We are admonished to live one day *1 a time. “Take no anxious thought for tomorrow. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” True, but such admonition does not mean that we shonld disregard the future. For, there is a Tomorrow. As the sun light dispels the darkness of the night, just so sure are we that “new chances, one more chance” may come to us in MYSTERY WARNING i = Movemerit* of Cloud* Clouds at different levels can often lie seen moving in different directions.

American Esquire Is “Just a Mongrel” Washington.—The nation's capi tal lists in its telephone directory of 17o..Vm names only one with the mark of the old school, “Esq.,” behind it.

Russell was not home wtien the telephone company representatives called to get information from sub scribers. but an elderly gentleman who lived with him was. and gave the necessary information. Printers followed copy on the name and when the book was pub lished Russell became a unique figure. “I know of no reason w by If should have happened.'' said Rus sell. “I am Just a mongrel Amer lean, as aren't we all?’ Representative Tilinan B.

Write when you can, remind him of yourself, and you shall not lose the thread of his life.” These sentiments give pause for thought in friendships, where absence interrupts personal so cial life. The year is yet young. Did you for get some one when you sent out your Christmas and New Year's cards? Or were you the one to be forgotten? It matters little which .was the case, so long as there was the oversight. A let ter can fill the- gap, and eliminate time and space so far as friendship Is con cerned. A short note will keep the light of .friendship burning, not so brightly as a newsy letter telling the things he or she wonhl so delight in knowing. Neverthe less the note makes contact. Perhaps your friend will send you a newsy letter once she finds you still hold the friendship dear. Richness of Fricndthips. Friendships are among the worth while things in this life. The more we have the richer is our existence, it is not enough that we think some- . times of our friends. Mental tel- ' e pa thy lias not yet reached the stage of development where thought trans ference can do without words either spoken or penned. We may feel the : atmosphere of our friends about us, i but tliis does not suffice as satis factory communication. We long to have evidence of their remembrance. So it is tiuit a letter is hailed with i joy. not that we really believe onr- , selves forgotten without it, but that j I we cherish tin* thought that some one | has ilie wish to talk to us and hopes j to have a response from us.

Power of F.motion*. Personal emotions run the gamut from the depths of despair to the heights of exaltation. Few persons have the experience of running the whole scale, hut enough have for It to he no im|Nissihle feat. Some keep chiefly on the gloomy side, with occa sional flights into the higher realms of Joy. Some have the good fortune ! to dwell in the upjier strata of pleas antness. Most persons, however, live in the middle area, shifting easily and continually from moderate mental com fort to annoyance and depression, nev er fully happv and never utterly de- saondent. It should lie the effort of evervone as many persons are Inclined to do It this age. Emotions are powerful. Thej must be controlled and held In checl like any great force. More than tha 1 they should be understood. Children are emotional. They havi not learned to manage these elemental forces. By example and precept, by encouraging the best, and helping the little folk to realize the advantages of a firm grasp on the higher emotions, parents c.an help their children to build a firm foundation for comfort and con tent, and for a fuller measure of hap piness throughout their entire lives. © Bell Syndlcat*.—WNU Serrtca.
