er plant.” New Englanders refer
to a sudden Summer thunderstorm
as a “tempest,” while oldtime Vir
ginians call such a storm a “gusty.”
The American Council of Learn
ed Societies is beginning to collect
these local names of common
things. ; They are all good English,
and many of them are survivals of
old English words no longer used in
England. With the freer mingling
of people from different regions
many of these distinctions of
speech are disappearing, and it is
well to have them collected now
and preserved before some of the
words and phrases vanish entirely
from the language.
SHIPS ... a 1,050 footer—
The largest ship ever built, the
new French liner, Normandie, was
launched the other day at St. Na-
i zaire. For thirty years shipping
men had been talking about the
thousand-foot ship, but the Nor
mandie is the first to reach that
length. She is one thousand and
fifty feet long.
Before the war the Germans and
the English had built several ships
in the nine-hundred-foot class,
such as the Lusitania, Mauretania,
Leviathan, Majestic, and Aquitania.
Since the war the tendency has
been toward smaller ships, until
the Italians surprised the world
with the Rex, the largest ship ye‘;
put into commission since the war.
There are not many harbors i i
th world n which a thousand-foo;
ship can be safely docked. It is
not likely that we will see much
larger , craft, afloat in our time.
These big ships are uneconomica ,
and are subsidized by governments
largely for advertising purposes.
The bulk of the world’s commerce
has always been borne, and prob
ably will always be borne, by small
er craft, which can go wherever
there is cargo to be'carried.
