- Safety of Passengers More
Important Than Speed
’ Q -----. - - - - - - - 1 ---------------------------- ------
It might sound like sour grapes to
point out that spoed Is not everything
now that the Queen Mary just failed
'to beat the trans-Atlantic record of
the Normandie, but certain signals
from the bridge to engine room of the
‘great liner prompt a comment, ob
serves the Hamilton Spectator.
-----------Evidently.-Sir Edgar Britten, cap-
tain of the Queen Mary and commo
dore of the White Star Cunard fleet,
though he may hot. have been official
ly trying to beat the Normandie on
•the maiden, trip, would have liked to
do so. He knew that1 the eyes of the
world were ou his 'ship. He knew also
thatifor a number of hodrs he ordered
the rQuepn Maty to go half Speed and
-*-y- ^th’eH.'blow;”" ’because . Tog .conditions-
made'fast sailing dangerous. A corii-
. paiison between the handling of. the
Queen Mary and the. handling -of the
Titanic springs to mind........
• The Titanic, man’s greatest marine
4 • achievement in 1912, raced across tlie
’ Atlantic, with bands playing. Inade
quately • supplied with life boats, sup
erbly appointed according to the more
modest requirements of that day, she
- defied the age-old laws of the sea, She
. was the symbol iof man’s conquest of
.the elements. She was unsinkaSlo,
and throughout the story1,Of thi^ ship
’j-r-a story Wliich. mnve$ forward re
lentlessly, and with gradually increas
ing velocity — that ironic phrase oc-
t ;curs— ‘‘The Titanic is unsinkable.**
The fates, alnidst as if they.hrid
■. iplarinc-d a rebuke-to hu’jnan audacity
! were-against her. Had De he smashed
'head-on into the iceberg which caused
i"the disaster," the TRfnrc ringhV/lToT
have sunk. At least the concussion
• would have delivered a sufficiently
clear warning. Had she lessened her
‘-’^Bpwcd through the ice field, theWside-
’ Swipe” might .not have been fatal. In
stead. an imperceptible 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 quietly; Almost casually set In
motion. A band played on. Passengers
strolled toward * 'tkei'r boat stations.
Colonel Astor\ lit /a’ cigarette. Women
wrapped their evening cloaks, around
; their shoulders. Something had hap:
pened, but it hardly mattered. The
Titanic was unsinkable. Then the deck
rose up wards ap’d, men and women
began to fight like savages, for the
’ boats. The side of the Titanic had
noisdnssly been ripped away and she
was striking. At 2.20 a.m. on April 15
she disappeared. J
» The Queen Mary is no doubt infin
itely more seaworthy than, the Titanic,
was", but the lesson of that early dis
aster has been learned. Prestige’ is
important, aridi speed means prestige,
but prestige is/not won by taking any
chances. Whether the Queen, Mary
cart beat the .Normandie or not re
mains to bo seen, but at least we are
assured that men ho longer take, the
..old; chances with huhian life for the
/sake of a blue riband.

Last week Earnest R. (“Pop”) Has-
elwood looked like-a good bet against
the field. “Bus Transportation,” Mc-

returns in its. contest, not to be de-
cided until late this year, to discover
who is the safest bus driver in__the
-UrSf Owen Meredith of' Enid, Okia.»
drove 976,800 miles without scratch
ing a fender. Ancel Mistier of
Sedaliaj Mq,, turned up with a no
accident record of 950,000 miles. But
“Pop” Haselwood, of Ghappel, Neb.-,
in 20 years had driven 1,772,651 miles
without a “chargeable” accident.
Driver Haselwood’s formula: “Drive
like the: other gUy is crazy”.
“Pop” Haselwood, 44, started out
as a Northwes^Jfeffmer and lumber
jack, bought a'^Tordyifi 1916, put it in;
tip-top shape, rrtn / one-man, one^-car
buslinj*. After' two years he ^old out,
drove for a half-dozen bus companies.
Since 1929 he has driven fbr Omaha’s
Interstate Transit Lines, now makes
the 219-mfle run between North
Platte. Neb., and Cheyenne? Wyo., one
way or thd others six days a week.
When passing on oncoming .he sights
the road edge over the' radiator cap,
gets his ridhthand 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 dinvers look
Tike wrestlers because the company’s
minimum weight limit is 160 lb.
Haselwood is just ovgr the line with

ever drove “like hell” was when a
woman in his bus bore a baby. From

Splendid Results Are Claimed
For Crops Grown in Water Tanks
Crops ’grown in tanks of 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 the rate of 217 tons per acre of
tank „ surface, as compared with the
outdoor field yield of about five tons
per acre, potatoes at 2,465; bushels
"tank acre’’ as Against 11 1 bushels
per field acre, tobacco plants 22 feet
high wjth leaf-quality under /ull con
trol — these are among the results
Claimed for the new method.
In basic principle, the procedure is
said to be nothing pew. . For many
years,, we are • told, scientists- have
been growing plants with their roots
iil jars of water, to -which nutrient
minerals have been added in varying
amounts for the purpose of laboratory
/tests. ;
The reader can do it himself, with
no more equipment than a few radish
seeds and a tumblfer Of water with a
piece of mosquito‘netting tied loose
ly over the top, so that its centre sags
and gets wet.
But the idea of doing it on a com
mercial scale .with the hope of actual
ly making it pay for itself,, awaited
the pioneering of Dr.. Gericke of 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^aro-planted in beds of'peat
moss, excelsior or straw. Their roots
grow doywi into the water, which con
tains ferWizer in solution and which
is kept electrically heated to the ,tem
perature best suited for rapid plant
growth. 4 ■ '. ' s •

Ontario Barley Situation
That; Barley is assuming a v more
important place/ in. Canadian Agri
culture and .Canadian’ industry .is
evidenced by the fact t.hat a National
Barley Committee Has bebri 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 arid , is.
estimated at 16,841^000 bushels.., In
1934 the production Was 14,741,700
bushels,. The acreage was increased
from 484,900 aefres to 523,000 and the
yielci per acre at 3,2.2 bushels was %
bushels higher than in thu previou
year. .
The Canadian crop of 83,975
bushels is much Ihigb ipwii . a
gain of 20,233.000 bushels or 31.7
per cent, over 1934.
From the 1935 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. /'bushel

Writes the Brantford Expositor—
There sdems 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.
There is a good deal to be said for
this view. If, after fnurderers 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 arid curi
osity that, invariably accompany
1 ngings in small com,munities.
. Canadians are. quite generally
agfeOd that the death penalty for
murder, is necessary for the protec
tion of society and, if this is so, then
it should mC/ imposed • in a . manner
that will disturb the public as little
as possible. "
Frigid AnX Fiery Layer«

(From the Australian Press Bureau)
A/startling series of discoveries*
following ingenious radio signal ex
periments by Drs. D. F. Martyn and
,0. .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 qf probing the upper air
by radio signals. His method givps
a® measure of- the amount, of. elec- ,
trification, the amount of. ozone, and
. ■ ,~1~ ■^—ighoiit^the-’—
whole thickness ' bf. the upper, air,
from 22 jpiles up7EB*4$Q^lniies.
A new type of-apparatus has been
devised Srhich, unattended, will probe
the atmosphere; .Jhis.robot sen.ds out
signals, catches the echoes, varies the
wave-length, and plots all the infor
mation on a tiny 'hal t. ‘ •
Dr. Martyn’s first remarkable dis-___■.
“cbvery w-as 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 stratosjjliere above the warm
ozone layer. H^re the temperatures
again dip, reaching a minimum at 50
miles. From there temperatures rise,
to end in a torrid Zone at 150 miles.’
In this zone Martyn’s radio re
sults directly contradict Prof Ap
pleton, whoq had the idea that this .
zone was Rot only in Summer.
Martyn’s experiments show that
the seasonal 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 the upper zone ’
show fluctuations exactly, correspond
ing to barometric measures on the
ground, but ante-dating them. In
other words, a weather forecast can
be made from these radio probes of
■ ’the, sky.

pressed that modern ozone meas
urers are being installed at the Com
monwealth Weather Bureau, the So
lar Observatory at Camberra, and the

Clover and Grass Seeds
Reports from Central Ontario in
dicate. that moot of these seeds' have
mover’ from growers to the trade,
largely to the local retail trade. Most
of the timothy seed in the
Lawrence counties has been sold.
There still remains however*, some
350,000 pounds. A fajr quantity of
timothy js still available in the low
er Ottawa Valley. Growers in south
western Ontario still hold about one- vi„ivaviw„, m*ivu«v w.
halfoftheTed^W
crops, or 750,000 pounds and 2,000,000
pounds respectively. Buying by the
wholesale trade has declined owing
to large stocks secured already. Most
of the alfalfa, alsike, sweet clover
and Canadian blue grass has been
sold to. the trade. It is expected that
much of the timothy seed and per
haps some red clover wH be carried
over.. .by. growers. .to~ ..next-season-™—
-Reports from imorth-western Ont
ario indicate that there are at least
10,000 pounds of red clover and 15,-
000 pounds of alsike still in growers’
hands as well as abqu’t 75 per cent-
of the timqthy 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 16,c; and. alsike,
16 to 18c; sweet clover, 3 'to 5c;
