“Queen Mary” to Go After
Record of “Normandie.”
Clydebank, Scotland.—Queen Mary,
giant new flagship of the British mer-
^cantile marine and pride of the Brit
ish nation, is nearing Completion la
her fitting-out dock here.'
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

.“Pippa Passes '' Pippa had one one day
**IF YOU would keep your frlemT
1 don't lose sight of him too long.
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. Cor re- 1
I >pondence strengthens the bond* of
: friendships. We have it in our power
| to loosen the bonds or hind them clo.<*- 1
er through our negligence of, or at
tention to. writing letter*.
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.
