Wed With Rheumatism At 65 Working Again Why worry about rheumatism ?This , as it old fellow 1be. had But he just found the right remedy, stuck ellf it, and now he's working again—at 65 years of age. Let him tell you about it:- "For writes, "I agave years a uffered f omm rho euattsm. For eighteen months I ;could not turn ever in bed, nor help mysef in any way.

In this article I am going to deal. solely with the possibilities of such a structure with regard to floating airports, and in particular those that have been designed by the in- ventor for use on the North Atlan- tic airway. For some years we have heard of the idea of floating islands across the Atlantic en which aircraft could land to refuel, and thus over- come the otherwise insuperable dif- ficulty of bridging the Atlantic and at the same time carrying in economic payload. 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 an air -liner running a commercial service. The idea of a string of floating airpprts at intervals of 450 miles across the Atlantic would therefore solve this difficulty, provided that these airports were possible from an aeronautical, marine and econo- mic viewpoint. I personally always regarded this idea as fantastic until I was given the opportunity of studying the claims of the seadrome in detail. 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 is cap- able of immediate operation from every point of view. * * * The suggested scheme is to moor five seadromes at 450 -mile inter- vals along the 38th parallel of lati- tude. These seadromes consist of a flight deck 1,500 feet in length and 300 feet in width, supported on 32 streamline telescopic rillars, 103 feet above sea level. When in position these pillars are sunk to a depth of 208 feet below the surface and ballast and bouy- ancy tar are so arranged in them that the centres of bouyancy and gravity of the whole seadrome structure are well below the agi- tated surface of the sea. The sea- drome is therefore at all times floating in suspension ire still water. The supporting pillars are of such size, constru tion 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. The prospect of the seadrome be- . ing damaged 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 waves 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. 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 stability of the sea- drome in stormy weather were here justified in every way. I saw on model about 15 feet long alongside one of the Majestic to the same scale. The manufac- tured waves were of such a size that the Majestic, was shipping them Where Men Are Men Alaska and the Yukon have grown respectable.

The anchor is of a 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 seacocks are opened electrically, and the anchor sinks to the bottom. 'Its speed is checked by means of water brakes, and the landing shock should not exceed 15 percent. of the anchor's weight. The cable to be used is of the type used on suspension bridges. This is because the stoutest chain cable ever made would break from its own weight at a depth of 13,000 feet. fhe suspension type cables have ample strength for them to reach a theoretical depth of 60,000 feet before breaking. This cable is to be attached to the seadrome struc- ture buoy, which in turn, is at- tached to the seadrome itself. There is therefore, never a direct pull on the anchor. 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 a pull of six times this, and in addition the seadrome has motors. that can relieve the strain, if ever necessary.

In the United States it is only about two and one-half bushels per person. On the agenda of the conference, for discussion, were new uses for Canadian potatoes, such as for con- fectioners' glucose, grape sugar, syrup, starch, potato flour and pota- to chips and sucl non -edible products as laundry starch, dextrine, glue, gum, alchol and in making foundry moulds. Other means of disposing of this surplus are the preservation and canning of potatoes; the use of potatoes as food for live stock; the possibilities of extending the market for Canadian seed potatoes; market possibilities both foreign and dom- estic for commercial grades; pro- blems of transportation and the pos- sibilities of increasing consumption of potatoes by advertising. It was recommended that the chairman of the conference, Dr. IL M. Tory, President of the National Damage Is Estimated At 10,000,000 Annually "There is reason to believe that the average annual damage to the forests of Canada, caused by in- sects, may approximate in value that caused by fire, which averages nearly $10,000,000 annually" said R.

WSW Mr. Bilkey reviewed factors mili- tating against any important altera- tion during the past year in the fundamental conditions which lay' beneath the world-wide depression, such as political upheavals and recurrent threats of war on the continent of Europe; collapse of efforts towards universal disarma- ment and uncertainties surrounding developments in the Far East and continued "It is scarcely surprising, therefore, that a recent estimate of the gain in world trade based upon the exports of 19 countries has amounted to only five per cent. since the low paint of the depression was reached. "In these circumstances, the eco- nomic grains actually registered in Canada in 1934 were all the more noteworthy. They were significant of the ability of the Dominion to so employ its own resources as to at- tain some measure of immunity from commercial debility prevalent else- where." Mr. Bilkey found large increases in the physical volume of business, in external trade, including higher exports of newsprint, pig iron, steel, etc., and an encouraging rise in volume of reveune freight carried by the railways. The improvement, however, was by no means general. There were many lines of business it failed to react. and a very large number of individuals derived no benefit from it. Generally speak- ing, therefore, the psychological re- action was disappointing. 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 canning of po- tatoes and food values generally, including particularly the food va- lue of potatoes and the claims made in advertising for various foods and diets. It was stated that such a prograniine 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- cil. 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- ducts. Dr. W. Galley of the Na- tional Research Council said his calculations showed that the entire might be so used. The possibility present Canadian potato surplus.

You must cater to his wants." So says the Blackpool gen- eral secretary of the British Feder- ation of Hotel and Apartment As- sociations, in his annual report. The secretary said he did, not be- lieve any other country in the world could provide a better afternoon tea and dinner than Britain, but "even here we should make ourselves fami- liar with certain foreign dishes if we intended catering for the for- eign tourist." "In any case," he added, "I would impress on you the desirability to make your guest, foreign or British, feel he is not lost but is an essential part of the scheme of things. The important part is that you can belie the government, the municipal au- thorities and others interested in the tourist industry to earn that $500; 000,000 of ready money which is ours for the asking." In this effort newspaper adver- tising would play an imnox'tant part. Mr. Evans said he could not speak too highly of this medium.
