British R-101 Found "Very Satisfactory" Difference of Oppinion Still Marks the Views Held of Britain's Big Dirigible ENGINES O.K. Cardington, Eng. Taking advan tage of perfect flying weather, the j British dirigible iclul made a 300- j mile trial flight over southeastern ' England. Major G. H. Scott, British ' aeronautic expert who commanded I the R-101, said the flight had been I "very satisfactory." "The whole handling of this bis airship proved much easier than we! hoped," he said. ''The n. isa ot the engines was very slight In the pas- senger cars, it was very comfortable Indeed. We passed over Buckingham Palace, Westminster, then over the j city aud straight back home. The. ship handled very well and answer- ed her controls with the greatest ease. We went easy at first and worked up j to something over 50 miles an hour, j We will have the speed trials later." i One novel feature of the cruise was , a parachute drill, corresponding ' roughly to lifeboat drill aboard an ' ocean liner. This was hld at an' altitude ot 2000 feet. After tte H-101 had completed lierj trial flight, it was announced that the other giant dirigible R-100 was now finished and ready for trials. Though high speeds were not at- tempted the vessel att.iined 5S liles I per hi ur more than the top speed of the R-33 although the new ship U twice as largo as the old one and at present develops ir>00 horsepower ( againsv the R-33's 1230. The differ-, euce is said to be due in part to iu-' creasins aerodynamic efficiency o' the fatter shape* of the new design, coupled with the reduce I air r- ance owing to the passengers' q.nar-1 ters being insii!.- t; e hull. It is n w estimated that the R-101 > will develop a maximum speed of si) to 83 m.p.h. when full engine power. Is available. Another satisfactory, feature is that the rudder control IsJ easily moved by hand thereby allow-; Ins the removal of t!;e euxillary elec- tric motor ti'ed as a precaution tu help the helmsman. This will menu! a saving of halt a ton. It is probable ' (hat certain duplicate parts of other portions of the airship's machinery will also be dispensed wi'h. Nevertheless It is clear that the| Tessel has not yet shown signs of fulfilling the Lopes if those who had j expected her to make regular non- stop trips to K.nypt or across the .Atlantic. The weight r: the fuel car- ried on Aug. U was 12 Ions, although seven tons more could have been taken- ma'.viug 19 in all If it had not been decided to have an extra amount of water ballast, of which the ship had on board 13 tons, in- stead of the normal eight. But it is j estimated that the amount of fuel to be carried for a Ilistt to Kgypt. after making proper all' wance for adverse weather conditions, Is 23 Vs tons. Canada, Neighbor And Customer Women Reopen Bermuda Fight To Gain Ballot Sky Scrapers WU1 Soon Follow If Land Values Climb Control of Island Parliament by Eight Families Held Bar to Enfranchisement With Only 1,300 in 33,000 Voters Hamilton. Bermuda. With the opening of the winter session of the Colonial Parliament the most import- au item in the agenda will be another attempt of the women ot Bermuda to obtain a grant giving them the right to vote. The Woman's Suffrage So- ciety has made several attempts to gain, its point in the legislature but of no avail. Kven though the women of Kngiaud have won the ballot it will probably be many years before Ber- muda women are given this right. The Colonial Parliament is the most independent organization in the Bri- i tish dominions. Bermuda i. not aj Crown colony, aud outside of the ap- pointment from England of a Cover- ' nor, a Chief Justice, a Receiver Gen- eral aud a Chief ot Police all the local officers are appointed by tho local Parliament. In the Parliament are thirty-six members, elected every five I years. Eight families on the island have representatives in tiie Parlia- ment. These eight families practical- ly control Bermuda, its finances, im- provements, schools am! public utili- ties. They have managed Bermuda for ."'"> year-. These are some ot the reasons why I women suffrage has been rejected j time and again. There are no parties j uoi- auy opposition in Parliament. The j mem!>r-rs are nearly all old men and they distrust innovations. There are about 33,000 inhabitants in Bermuda. Fully one half are Xe-| gros. With only 1,300 persons en-| titled to vote it is readily seen how ' the control of public affairs is success- 1 fully inaintaim-d year after year. Aj person to vote here must own $300 1 worth, of realty. There are many wo-i men on tae island who own valuable real estate but are not entitled to vote or have any voice in the affairs of the ; colony. Time Ins changed manners and cus- toais in Uerni'siU, b;it uol its laws.

British Capital for Canada London Financial Times: Lord CJucenboroush has recently visited Canada iu order to survey the oppor- tunities offered for the Investment of British capital, and is obviously deep- ly impressed by tho possibilities of tli" Dominion. It used to be said that "trade follows the flag," but a more modern axiom is that "trade follows investment." Hue regard must, of course, bo had'to the lending capacity of this country, but with this proviso and Lord Qucenborough is of oplu- ion that there is now available moj:e Jlritish capital than before there is which cruises within the Arctic cir- (;. as a supply ship for trading posts and exploration purposes.
