Solves Problem In Sleep It took Mr. Hamilton three years to persuade doubting ex- perts he could produce a practi- cable scadrome, He hopes it will not take more than as many weeks to convince London's planning au- thoritics that the methods used in building the "Lily" airport can give London millions of square feet on which to park autos without inter- fering with rebuilding schemes. It was 1940 that the inventor woke up one morning and real- ized he hat solved a difficult prob- lem in his sleep. He had found a method of building flexible float- ing swuctures that woula bear great weights and could be made in any shape or size lesired. Full-Scale Model Successful Later, the Admiralty took up his ideas, nd in 1945--after severe tests, including the winter's worst storm -- the full-scale model aic- port proved successful. He also proved that by using the "Lily" system it would be possible even to build a floating bridge across the EFuglish Channel if it wanted. The "Lily" takes its name from its resemblance to a carpet of lily leaves on a pond. It is basically were just a collection of six-feet wide hexagonal bouyancy cans hinged together. An intricate mathe- matical system of stresses enables the whole thing to be flexible, Britons Get Clear Outline of Slim Diet This Winter Britons received last week a clear outline of what their meagre diet is likely to be throughout the winter, and it stacked up like this: Meat--Worse than hardest war days. Bacon--Likely to war level. Milk--Must take second place to bread production. Eggs--Recent increases, at least in public supplies, will be lost. "Taken as a whole the position will not be as good as it was in the hardest of the war and so far as cgg production is concerned the least we can expect is that the en- tire increase in output over the last year will be lost," said Agriculture Minister Williams. "The home output of pig meat is also likely to fall at least to the lowest point of the war years." He expressed hope there will be nothing in the nature of a "really heavy fall" in milk production in the coming year but said milk pro- duction will have to take a back scat to bread grain. The World's Largest Weed-Killing Spray Weed - killing corn sprayers which cope daily with more than onchundred .cres of crops are now in use on Jnited Kingdom farms. The new machine, the largest of its type ever built, has a five hun- dred gallon tank fitted with two openings. These allow the opera- tor to pour in chemicals while the tank is being, filled with water. The spray liquid is pumped to spray bars at a pressure of three hundred pounds per square inch and fifty allons per minite can be used. The most spectacular fea ture is the sixty foot wide spray boom with cighty-six nozzles. Tt is this which gives the machine its tremendous output. The acreage sprayed per day varies with the size of the fields, the distance of fields and farms apart, ctc.

But now, having had time enough to think thirgs over, Mr. Conn doesn't appear quite so certain that his reticement is permanent. PPos- sibly, because he didn't say "posi- tively never", it doesn't count. LI. + * And, after all, Conn sottewhiat foolish to take a final exit from scenes where people crowd such lush forkfuls of suc- culent greenery upon you in re- turn for such little pair and effort It is true that Louis hit him three times; but it's doubtful if he even felt the last two of them. Having to lic on hare, uncushjoned can- vas, with no pillow for his head ard dazzling lights sireaming nto his eyes, must have heer annoying; but it only lasted ten seconds. And when we consider that, to salve his woundcd feelings, Billy cot- lected more than he would prob- ably make in thirty years of ordin- ary toil, we think that Mr. Conn should consider twice or even thrice, before making his retire- ment too definite. Conn now claims that he was fighting according to a carefully prearranged scenario, and thought things weren't going too badly. The whole trouble seems to be that Mr. Louis--whe is what we call in theatrical circles a 'slow study' ----forgot the lines of his part, and refused to lev himself get all tuck- ered out by dazzling speed and suprior footwork. So, just in case they should be meeti vo for a third time, we have gone to the trouble of devising an enti.cly new script for Conn--one that might have at least the merit of ovelty, and which certainly couldn't bring any worse results than the last one. . * * * been vould be Our pla. of campaign would be for Billy, when the gong rang, to decline to get off his stool at all, but just sit there in his corner, stretching and yawning as if at were long past bedtime. (A little appropriate soft music from a string orchestra might add to the effect.) Anc after a while Louis, who is a notoricus sleepyhead, would piobably get the idea and lic down long enough to he counted out. You «hink that we are even screwier than usual in suggesting the mere possibility of a third meeting 'hat it's highly ridicu- Tes to «ven hint that there are folks, in this enlightened day and age, who would pay real dough to see anothar Conn-Louis affair? Listen, genteel reader! Inside of a year, or even less, with a real Mike Jacobs 'build-up' those same two could draw a gate of at least a million dollars; the very same people who are so loudly howling 'never again' would be grabbing fcr the top-price pews; and there would be just as many of the 'ex- perts' calling Conn to win on points as there were the last time. IF'or while they claim that an clephant never forgets, there's mighty little elephant-blood cours- ing through thé veins of the sport: ing fraternity. * " ' News hat the Big lcague regu lar hockey schedule is to be length ened to sixty full ames will, we feel sure, be welcomed as a move it "the right direction by many close students of our great winter pastime. With a merc fifty or jo games, plus a paltry fourteen of playoffs, onc could never feel ab solutely that the real- tndisputed heen definitely decided. This stretching-ont of the regular <chedule" should help no little; hu. we are still of the opin ion that, when the playoffs finally start, cach. and every team in the loop should be included in same. This thing of climinating a couple of them, while there are still plenty of customers eager to pay mons tc watch them perform, is even ("A Six Bit Critic") ¢eovvs00000-000000- worse than unsportsmanlike.

And the truth of this remark was once again exemp- lifted recently when half the city of Toronto seemed tc be betting on a Western horse that not one wm ten of the bettors had even licard of before. The reason? Well, the" rumor got around that the race was fixed for this steed to win. "See that guy over there?" sad Oathin Willie to us one after- noon. "He's Manager of a Bank, and a big shot in some Church on Sundays. 1f © tell him this horse is the fastest thing in the race. he'll maybe bet a h But if 1 convince hime that the race is a frame-up--L2'll go for a C-note, or maybe more.

Dress Rehearsal Of A-Bomb Test Bikini lagoon in the Pacific and dropped a dummy atomic bomb in a dress rehearsal of next week's test of the effect of the nuclear fission weapon on Navy ships. * + * The rehearsal was te real thing with one oxception: the bomb di- rected toward the orange-painted battleship Nevada, aiming point, was not atonfic. The" bomb was x copy of the atomic one in all respects except that it carrie a miluly explosive pyrotechnic charge to produce a flash visible many miles away while doing minor damage to the target bullseye. It marked the pre- cise moment and place of the burst, + + Participating in the rehearsal, cach performing the task for which he had been rigorously trained for months, were 42,000 officers and men of Joint Army Navy Task I'orce 1. Under their control and care were more than 200 ships, a myriad of small voats, moc than 150 planes of the Army and Navy and 4,400 animals in "bartle stations" aboard the targets. Rationing Needed In United States Instead oi the 161,500 tons of wheat we promised, we shipped 89,000 tons, says the Boston Her- ald. Thirty-two tons of rice went out instead of the 13,900 we pledg- ed. Only 2,410 of 12,000 tons of fat left these shores. Ond that is the ignominious record of "one recent week. Despite all the dark bread, all the grain bonuses, all the ex- hortations to conserve, we are feeding the hungry peoples with more apologies than food. We can no longer put off rationing A Superfortress roared over the Britain Will Rule The Seas Again At War's End u. S. Merchant Marine Was Three Times Size Of Britain's If the figures proved too astro- namical to grasp it was only be- cause the world had seen such a merchant fleet, says News week, When the war ended, the American merchant marine: Numbered 0,000 totalling 56,000,000 deadweight tons. Almost world's pre-war tonnage. Comprised two thuds of the whild s postwar total; prewar, only one-titth of the shipping tlew the American flag. Was three times the size of Britan's, prewar, it had been half never dips cqualled the entire world's Britun's Was five times bigger than pre, Wat Had cost $22.500,000,000, Had lost 748 ships, totalling 9,- 000,000 tons sunk, and 5638 mea dead or missing, Comparative Figures However indispensable such a merchant fleet might have been ia wartime, for peacetime operations it had the earmarks of a white cle- phant. The dechne in overseas shipments after V-] Day made much of its capacity surplus. The mctheiency of slow, cumbersome Liberty ships left the 2,700 warbuilt "Ugly Ducklings" unable to com- pete with other American and foreign types. High cost of ship- building in the United States often made it cheaper for other nations to build their ships than to buy excess American vessels. American relatively high winees, high govern- ment subsidies would be necessary il American shippers were to com- pete with Because seamen get foreign shippers on a world scale. The figures were in- disputable: An American able-bod- ied seaman gets $115 monthly; his British counterpart, $35. An Ameri- can Liberty ship crew gets $7,825 monthly; its British equivalent, $2,- 735. And the CLO. maritime umians have called a strike on June 15 to support their demand for a 20 per cent. wage boost for Ameri- can seamen. First Place to Britain The inescapable result: The cele- bration of National Maritime Day last week found the United States voluntarily returning first place on the seas to Great Britain, The oc- casion was one normally reserved for back-patting, for May 22 was the 127th anniversary of the sailing of the first transoceanic steamship Savannah for Furope. But the United States Maritime Commis- sion had to admit that America's postwar merchant marine would total only 10,500,000 tons, one-fifth its wartime peak and smaller though faster than prewar. This tonnage was expected to carry half of America's* foreign trade. One bright spot:: The United States, American Export, Moore-McCorm- ack, and American President Lines are building nine hners for trans- atlantic, Mediterrancan, South American, and transpacific trade respectively. American President's two 29-knot 920-footers are to be the largest ever built in America. HOLD EVERYTHING QOPR, 1743 OY tin "Oops I" New Definition of "Unemployed" In the old days, an unemployed man was one who couldn't find work, comments The Calgary Her- ald. Any kind of work. Now, an unemployed man is one who can't find the particular kind of work he prefers, in the place he prefers, at the wage he prefers. In NMancouver, for example, there are something like 10,000 unem,, ployed men and women. Yet straw- berry growers in the nearby Fraser Valley can't get enough help to pick their $3,000,000 crop, - The berry growers could use 5,000 men and women ~but the response from Vancouver is small. As a result, 'hundreds of women are being brought in from the prairie provinces to pick the berries with the government paying their fare. Meanwhile, Vancouver's job- less stay right where they are, wait- ing for something to turn up, Something, that is, to their liking.
