The manufac- tured waves were of such a size that the Mnjestin was shipping them I have seen films depicting the official experiments with models of the seadrome in one of the United States Navy Dockyard basins. The claims of the inventor with regard to the unique tstability of the sea.- drome in stormy weather were here justified in every way. The prospect of the seadrome be- imCdanuured by a storm, as so often happens to Atlantic liners, need not therefore be considered. The liner is floating in the agitated water. is constantly breaking wives and thus absorbing their energy. The sea- drome is floating in suspension be- neath this agitated surface, and the waves pass through the pillars un- disturbed, as they do through those of a seaside pier. The supporting pillars are of such size, construction and shape that they offer practically no resistance to waves, and so do not bar their passage. No energy is therefore released from the waves to be absorbed by the pillars as impact force. When in position these pillars are sunk to a depth of 208 feet below the surface and ballast Ind bony- ancy tar are so arranged in them that the centres of bouynncy and gravity of the' whole leadromo structure are well below the agi- tated surface of the set. The sea- drome is therefore at all times floating in suspension in still water. The suggested scheme is to moor five seadromes at 450-mile inter- vals along the 38th parallel of luti- tude. These seadromes consist of a flight deck 1,500 feet in length and 300 feet in width. supported on 32 streamline telescopic pillars, 103 feet above see level. The result of the preliminary in- vestigations of the past few weeks that I have carried out with the assistance of the official represen- tative of the Seadrome Ocean Dock Corporation of America leaves no doubt in my mind that 24-hour London-New York service In cap- able of immediate operation from every point of view. I personally always regarded this idea as fantastic until I was given the opportunity of studying the claims of the aeadrome in detail. The idea of a string of floating airports " intervals of 450 miles across the Atlantic would therefore solve this difficulty, proided that these airports were possible from an aeronautical, marine and econo- mic viewpoint. Many pilots have proved that the Atlantic can be crossed, but to do this they have had to carry such a huge load of petrol that there was no room for anything else. Indeed, it is generally considered that a range of 500 miles is about the limit for " air-liner running a commercial service. For some yen-s we have heard of the idea of floating islnnds across the Atlantic on which Aircuft could land to refuel, and thus over- come the otherwise insuperable dit. ficulty of bridging the Atlantic and at the same time carrying an economic payload. In this article I tun going to deal solely with the possibilities of such a structure with regard to floating airports. and in particuitr those that have been designed by the in- ventor for use on the North Atlan- tie airway. Fifteen years Mo Edward Arm- strong, a well.known American in. ventor, conceived the m. of a mur- ine structure that would have cer- tain unique properties. This struct- ure he termed I seadrome. The in- ventor saw in a floating vessel that remained steady without and tend- eney to roll or pitch. whatever the state of the sea, a number of im- portant uses.

In this effort newspaper adver- tising would play an important part. Mr. Evans said he could not speak too highly of this medium. Indeed, he knew of no other that could beat it; it wu supreme.

Full meteorological, wireless and workshop equipment will also be on each. In the worst conditions of wind and tide ever known on the route to be used the maximum pull by the seadrome will be 100,000 lbs. The mooring system is designed to with. stand tt pull of six times this, and in addition the sesdrome has motors that con relieve thé strain, if ever necessary. The cable to be used is of the type used on suspension bridges. This is because the Itoutest chain cable ever made would break from its own weight It a depth of 13,000 feet. Ilhe suspension type cables have ample strength for them to reach a theoretical depth of 60,000 feet before breaking. This eable is to be attached to the setdrome struts ture buoy, which in turn, is at. tached to the aeldrome itself. There I: therefore, never a direct pull on the anchor. Secretary Blackpool Associa- ion Suggests British Make Themselves Familiar with Foreign Dishes The anchor is of I novel type designed for the great depth that it will lie and for the nature of the bottom that It will encounter. It has a rounded top and a flat bot- om, and weighs 1,500 tons. Special bouyancy chambers enable it to be floated to the desired position, where seecoclts are opened electrically, and the anehor sinks to the bottom. Its speed is checked by means ot water brakes, and the landing shock should not exceed 15 percent. of the anchor's weight. Only the briefest of descriptions can be made in this article, but let me add weight to them by saying that the United States Navy De- partment has given its unqualified approval to the practicability of the whole system. _ The chief difficulty with regard to the anchoring of ships in storm conditions lies in their movements produced by wind and waves. This problem does not arise in the case of I sendrome as it remnins per- fectly steady. There were other problems involved in mooring a 60.000-ton structure in three or four miles depth of water, but all of them have been overcome. These experiments led the United States Navy Department to satisfy themselves entirely with regard to the 'stability of the seldrome in the roughest of Atlantic storms. And this stability makes in itself the problem of anchoring the structure much easier. ' over her funnels. tt would have been impouible for her to hive survived wen . storm m real life.

Alongside was a gentleman in 1 row- ing boat having an neutely uncom- fortable time, but the seadrome re- mained quite steady. Certain anomalies in freight rt- tes were pointed out to the Confer- ence. For example, the rate for earring potatoes from Halifax to Bermuda wns 15 cents per barrel higher than for carrying potatoes from Bermuda to Holifax. Nether- lands ships were carrying potatoes to the West Indies at from 50 to " cents per cute as compared with a rate of 60 to 65 cent: which was open to Canadian shippers. Hol- land, it was stated, was subsidizing the expor’s of potatoes to the ex- The Director of the Commercial intelligence Service of the Depart- ment of Trade and Commerce, re- ported that the Department, through its Trade Commissioners, was mak- ing a survey of the potato export possibilities in various countries. but the information so far received did not offer very much encourage n.ent. It was stated that certain of the investigations projected held out definite promise of valuable re- suits. Potatoes it was said, could be substituted for corn now import- ed in manufacturing millions of pounds of a variety of food pro- duets Dr. W. Gallay of the Na- tional Research Council said his calculations showed that the entire present Canadian potato surplus might be so used. The possibility of using potatoes for the manufac- ture of alcohol was discounted. If the alcohol so produced was to be used with gasoline it was stated that the price of the mixture would be approximately three cents above the present market price of gasoline if 10 p. e. alcohol were used, and would require compulsory legisla- tion. Such eompulsory legislation was in effect in other countries, in- cluding Germany and Czechoslova- kia. It wee recommended that the chuirmln of the conference, Dr. H. M. Tory, President of the National Research Council, appoint a com- mittee consisting of representatives of departments of the Dominion Government to draw up a research programme on new uses of potatoes, the preservation and cunning of po- tatoes and food values generally, including particularly the food u- iue of potatoes and the claims made in advertising for various foods and diets. It was stated that such a programme of research might be undertaken jointly by the Dominion Department of Agriculture. the De- partment of Pensions and National Health (Food and Drug Laboratory) and the National Research Coun- eil. and one-half bushels per person.

Other means of disposing of this surplus are the preservation and gunning of potatoes; the use of potatoes us food for live stock; the possibilities of extending the market for Canadian seed potatoes; market possibilities both foreign and dom- estie for commercial grades; pro- blemg of transportation and the pos- sibilities of increasing consumption of potatoes by advertising.
