Salety of Passengers More Important Than Speed It mtglit sound like sour grapes to point out that speed la not evorytliiuy now tiiut the Queen Mary just failed to beat the tians-Atlantic lutord of tlie NorniandiP. but ceilain signais from the bi'idgo to engine room of the great liner prompt a comment, ob- serves the Hamilton Spectator. Evidently Sir Edsar Britten, cap- tain of the Queen Mary and commo- dore of the White Star Cunard fleet, though he may not have been official- ly tryins to beat the Normandie on the maiden trip, would have lilted to do so. He knew that the eye.s ot the world wore on bin ship. He knew also that far a number of hours he ordered the Queen Mary to a,(> half speed and then slow, because fog conditions made fast sailin? dan-^'erourf. A com- parison between the handling ot the Quee*i Mary and the handling oC the Titanic springs to mind. The Titanic, man'.s greatest marine achieven-.ent in 1!I1L'. raced a('ro.ss the Atlantic, with bands playing, luade- quateiy supplied with life boats, sup- erbly apT>oiBted according to the more mod«^st requirements of that day, she defied the age-old laws of the sea. She was the symbol ot man's comjuest of tho cb'incuts. She was uusinikable, and tliroughoul the story of this ship â€"a story which moves forward re- lentlessly, and with gradually increas- ing veJocity â€" that ironic phra.so^^ curs â€" 'The Titanic is uusiukable^^ The fate.':, almost a.s it they bad (PlanntMl a rebuke to human audacity [were aga;nst her. Had sUe smashed 'head-on into the iceberg which caused I tho disaster, the Titanic might not havo sunk. At least the concussion would have delivered a sufficiently clear warning. Had she lessened her speed through the ice field, the "side- ' swipe" might not have been fatal. In- stead, an impfrceptible shock, which hardly interrupted the festivities had brought her career to an end. Bells rang and the machinery whereby the passengers are removed to the boats was (luielly, almost casually set in motion. .\ band played on. Passengers strolled toward their boat stations. C'oloae! Astor lit a cigarette. Women wrapped ^«n'' evening cloaks around ^ their shoulders. Something had hap- '^pened, but if hardly mattered. The Titanic was unsinkable. Then the deck rose tip wards and men and women bogan to fight like savages for the boats. The side of the Titanic had noisel.'s.sIy been ripped away and she was sinking. At 2.L'0 a.m. on April 13 rihe disappeared. Tho Queen Mary i.-; no doubt infin itely more seaworthy than the Tilanic was, but the lesson of that early <lis- aster lias been learned. Prestige is important, and speed means presti.ge. but prestige Is not won by taking any chances.

Issue No. 25 â€" '36 Amateur Writers May Be Discouraged NEW YORKâ€" Mary Roberts Rliine- hart, the author who is "unhappy when I'm writing, but utterly miser- able when I'm not," polished off her latest novel recently and than sat back to figure out how many of them she's written. She counted 50. "It seems incredible,'' she said, putting: aside the manuscript for a new short story. When that's out of the way, she'll start novel No. 51, she said. A slow writer. Mrs. Rhinehart said she pours 500,000 words into the first draught of a story (she makes three), then cuts the final job down to 1(50,000 words. On some of her books she has worked from two to three years. Buipless Buses Last week Earnest R. ("Pop") Has- ehvood looked like a good bet against the field, "Bus Transportation," Mc- Gaw-Hill trade journal was tabulating returns in its contest, not to be de- cided until late this year, to discover who is the safest bus driver in the U.S. Owen Meredith of Enid. Okla., drove 97G,800 miles without scratch- ing a fender. Ancel Mistier ot Sedalia, Mo., turned up with a no- accident record of 950,000 miles. But "Pop" Haselwood, of Ciiappel, Neb., in 20 years had driven 1,772,651 miles without a "chargeable" accident. Driver llaselwood's formula: "Drive like the other guy is crazy". "Pop" Haselwood, 44, started out as a Northwest farmer and lumber- jack, bought a Ford in 191G, put it in tip-top shape, ran a one-man, one-car busline. After two years he sold out, drove for a half-dozen bus companies. Since 1929 he has driven for Omaha's Interstate Transit Lines, now makes the 219-mile run betsveen North Platte. Neb., and Cheyenne, Wyo., one way or the other, six days a week, Wlien passing on oncoming he sights the road edge over the radiator cap, gets his righlhand tires on the brink of the paving. Three times automo- biles or trucks have bumped him. In every case his bus was standing stock- still, "Pop" is not so called because of his age but because that is a favor- ite nickname for a stolid driver. There are five other "Pops" in his division. Most Interstate drivers look like wrestlers because the company's minimum weight limit is IGO lb. Haselwood is just over the line with 1G4. He is married, childless, makes $225 per month. The one time he ever drove "like hell" was when a woman in his bus bore a baby. â€" From Tiine.

Splendid Results Are Claimed For Crops Grown in Water Tanks Crops grown in tanks ot water, ra- ther than in the time-honored fields of soil, are a decided novelty describ- ed in the new issue of a trade journal. "Food Industries" Tomatoes yielding at tho rato of 217 tons per acre of tank surface, as compared with the outdoor field yield ot about five tons per acre, potatoes at 2.4(;5 bushels "tank acre" as against 11 bushels per field acre, tobacco plants 22 feet high with leaf-quahly under full con- trol â€" these are among the results claimed for the new method. In basic principle, the procedure Is said to be nothing new. For many years, we are told, scientists have been growing plants with their roots iu jars of water, to which nutrient minerals have been added In varying amounts for tho purpose of laboratory tests. The reader can do it himseir, with no more equipment than a few radish seeds and a tumbler ot water with a piece of mosquito netting tied loose- ly over the top, so that its centre sags and gets wet. But the idea ot doing it on a com- mercial scale with the hope ot actual- ly making it pay for itself, awaited the pioneering of Dr. Gericke ot the University of California. He uses a number of great tanks of concrete or redwood planks, it is explained. Over the tops are wire nettings, on which the seeds are planted in beds of peat moss, e.xcelsior or straw. Their roots grow down into the water, which con- tains fertilizer in solution and which is kept electrically heated to the tem- perature best suited for rapid plant growth. It Is even claimed to be possible to dispense with sun as well as soil, or at least to supplement the sunlight with electric illumination, for plants can use thU secondhand sunlight as well as the original article, for pur- poses of food manufacture and also growth. •â€" The Quebec Chronicle-Tel- e.graph- Place of Execution Writes the Branlford Expositor â€" There seems to be considerable ap- proval of the idea that th : time has arrived when the death penalty should be inflicted, not in the com- munity where the murder occurred, but at some central place in the provinces, or at the penitentiaries, Tl.ere is a good deal to be said for this view. If, after murderers are tried and condemned, they were transferred immediately to the peni- tentiary there to await the time of execution, which could be carried out with as little publicity as possible, it would save a lot of turmoil and curi- osity that invariably accompany 1 ngings in small communities. Canadians are quite generally agreed that the death penalty for murder is necessary for the protec- tion of society and, if this is so, then it should .le imposed in a manner that will disturb the public as little as possible. Ontario Barley Situation That Barley is assuming a more important place in Canadian Agri- culture and Canadian industry is evidenced by the fact that a National Barley Committee has been set up and was in session in Toronto recent- ly. With these facts in view, the following brief paragraphs from "The Ontario Agricultural Outlook for 1936" should be of special interest and value to Ontario farmers who are just now laying their plans for this year's crop production. "The 1935 barley crop in Ontario was the largest since 1930 .ind is estimated at 1C,841,000 bushels. In 1934 the production was 14,741,700 bushels. The acreage was increased from 484,900 acres to 523,000 and the yield per acre at 32.2 bushels was % bushels higher than in tho previous year. The Canadian crop of 83,975,000 bushels is much higher, showing a gain of 20,233,000 bushels or 31.7 per cent, over 1934. From the 1985 Canadian crop about 9,250,000 bushels were export- ed to the United States, whereas in the years 1930-35 inclusive the ex- port to this market was negligible. The average price being paid for the 1935 barley crop is 40 cents per bushel. t is a Farmer A farmer Is: A capitalist that labors. A patriot who is asked to produce at a loss, A man who works eight hours a day twice a day. A man who has every element of nature to combat every day in the ye«,r. A man who is a biologist and econ- omist and a lot more ists. Who gives wore and asks less than any other human being. Who takes unto himself for his own substance and that of his family, those of his products that other peo- ple will not utilize. Who gives his boys and girls to the big cities to infuse red blood into society that is constantly decadent, and whose only salvation is the viri- lity that it draws from rural sections. Who is ta.\ed more and has less re- presentation than any other citizen. Who sells his products for what the other fellow cares to pay for them and who buys the other fellow's products at what the other fellow- charges for them. Who is caricalurtd on the stage and in the daily papers but who can come nearer taking hold of any busi- ness and making it go than any other tnan alive and in captivity. That's what a farmer is. â€" St. Petersburg Times.

Please send cheques to: Commissioner John McMillan, 20 Albert St., Toronto Earth Girdled By Sandwich Of Frigid And Fiery Layers Clover and Crass Seeds Reports from Central Ontario in- dic.ite thai most of these seeds have mover from growers to the trade, largely to the local retail trade. Most of the timothy seed in the St. Lawrence counties has been sold. There still remains however, some 350,000 pounds. A fair quantity of timothy is still avatlahle in the low- er Ottawa Valley. Growers in south- western Ontario still hold about one- half of the red clover and timothy crops, or 750,000 pounds and 2,000,000 pounds respectively. Buying by the wholesale trade has dcnjlined owing to large stocks secured already. Most of the alfalfa, alsike, sweet clover and Canadian blue gr.iss has been sold to the trade. It is expected that much of the timothy seed and per- haps some red clover wU be carried over by growers to next season. Reports from north-western Ont- ario indicate that there are at least 10,000 pounds of red clover and 15,- 000 pounds of alsiko still in growers' hands as well as about 75 per cent, of the timothy or approximately 200,- 000 pounds. Prices being paid .growers, per pound, basis No. 1 grades, are: for red clover in Eastern Ontario, 12 to 13c; in south-western Ontario, 11 to 15c; for alfalfa 12 to I'lc; and alsike, 16 to 18c; sweet clover, 3 to 5c; timolhy, 3 to 5c; timothy, 3 to C^, and Canadian blue grass. 314 to 4c. Keep Young and Beautiful Is a Woman's Slogan TORONTO â€" Let depression do its worst, Toronto women have apparent- ly decided their first duty is to remain young and beautiful, W. P. Smith said recently. He is a Toronto druggist attending the Ontario Retail Drug- gists' AsscK;iation convention here. While sales of virtually every other drug store commodity have fallen off in the years of depression, sale of cosmetics has increased steadily since 1929, said Mr. Smith. "Women inight economize on other things but never on cosmetics," he said, "and not only are they buying more "cosmetics but they insist on the best." (Prom the Australian Press Bureau) A startling series of discoveriea, following ingenious radio signal ex- periments by Drs. D. F. Martyn and O. 0. Pulley at Sydney University. Australia, may revolutionize scien- tists' views of the condition of the earth's upper atmosphere. Dr. Martyn has invented a new method of probing the upper air by radio .signals. His method gives a measure of the amount of elec- trification, the amount of ozone, and tho temperature throughou- tha whole thickness of the uppi r air, from 22 miles up to 120 miles. A new type of apparatus has been devised which, unattended, will probo the atmospiiere. This robot sends out signals, catches tlie echoes, varies the wave-length, and plots all the infor- mation on a tiny cliart. Dr. Martyn's first remarkable dis- covery was that of another cold layer lying above the cold strato- sphere, recently reached by Picard and other ballonists. Between the two a warm layer is sandwiched. Dr. Martyn's records show a sec- ond stratcsphcre above the warm ozone layer. Here the temperatures again dip, reaching a minimum at 50 miles. From there temperatures nse, to end in a torrid zone at 150 miles. In this zone .Martyn's radio re- sults directly contradict Prof Ap- pleti.n, who had tho idea that this zone was hot only in Summer. Martyn's experiments show that the sea.sonal drop is from 1,300 to 1,000 degrees; that is, that the earth is girdled perpetually by a fiery ring of inconceivably rarefied air. Measuremens of tho upper zone .ihow fluctuations exactly correspond- ing to barometric measures on the ground, but ante-dating them. I» other words, a weather forecast can be made from these radio probes ot the sky. Auslialian autliorities are so im- pressed that modern ozone meas- urers are being installed at the Com- monwealth Weather Bureau, the So- lar Observatory at Camberra, and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. The peace of the world would ba more secure if governments could get their appropriation bills through without pointing the finger of alarm at their neighbors.
