BRISBANE], THIS WEEK Land Ho! The Changing Ocean Safety and Speed Much for Science On Board Steamship Normandie.? Four nights from New York and the Sb'P ing and landing . Arthur Brlabane h are as exciting ~ as a trip b.v rail from Chicago j to Lake Forest, or from Wall street I to Forty-Second street by subway. You are in Europe before you realize that you have start- tv ed. The poetry of travel has depart- p ed with fast ships on the ocean and automobiles instead of camels on the desert. ^ No matter how often you cross " this Atlantic ocean, or the North t American continent, the crossing Is " always different and interesting. The ocean, like the wide plains, is forever changing. w Two days ago the waves looked C like playthings for children. Last It night the ocean changed Its mind and rolled the waves up high with I a shrieking wind. The steward said, "We shall have to fasten the arm chairs tomorrow," but the heavy | ship paid no attention to the waves. | The ocean changed its mind again and calmed down. A speedometer telling how fast | the ship moves is operated by a ? mechanism below the keel that I records the speed of the rushing | water. Burning oil produces steam; | steam power is converted into elec- 1 trie power, and that drives the I ship. The captain always knows I how deep the ocean is beneath him; an electric contrivance sends a sound wave down through the .va- ter to the bottom, which sends bach an echo. n Knowing the speed at which r sound travels through water, it i9 easy to calculate the depth. The p machine does It for you. It is a s( feeble sound?one hundred and sixty thousand vibrations to the second. No human ear could pick it 3 up, but the machine records it. Twenty-five thousand vibrations per second is the limit of your ear, and that is not bad for a primitive contrlvance like a human being. Newton D. Baker, secretary of war In the "big" war, tells graduating students of the Massachusetts Institute for Technology it is their duty to "carry science into politics." Scientists, Mr. Baker thought, must seek for "the solution of world problems when the great international crisis comes, as it surely will come." A sufficient "great crisis" seems to be here now, with many countries wanting to fight each other, different classes already fighting each other, and in this richest coun- | try in the world?ten million human | beings living practically on charity. [ If that is not a real crisis, few ^ would care to see one. George Bernard Shaw, not yet j eighty, says. "I must give up public I speaking, I am tor old." That sur- 1 prises you from a Celt and an Irish- | man. At eighty many men have been vigorous in thought and body; for instance, Pope Leo. Von Moltke. Gladstone. Michelangelo. Not one of those, however, suf- ' Tered from handicaps that have aged C' George Bernard Shaw prematurely; ai he is a vegetarian and a teetotaler! In spite of England's pitifully P weak and belated backdown on sane- 1 tions, due to London's fear of Mussolini's air fleet; a backdown denounced as cowardice by Lloyd George, Britain, for face-saving purposes, will maintain a great fleet In the Mediterranean. Mussolini will welcome such convenient air and submarine targets near home as a sort of British hostages to fortune. M. Auriol announces that France 1 will not devalue the franc any further. It has already been reduced by | 80 per cent, as though our dollar i had been knocked down to twenty cents instead of fifty-nine cents. ' Prime Minister Blum knows that it i does not pay to scare capital out of 3 Its wits, something that our best | Washington minds have still to learn. The French workmen will have their forty-hour week and the strikes are about over. Keturuing to the real American Interest, the defeat of Joe Louis, young gentlemen and old will ob- > serve that It Is most important in ? all undertakings not to be afraid, worn out or cowardly. Fighters that Louis had encountered saw before ?c them "an Invincible conqueror of 3l men." ^ @ Kins Feature* Syndicate, lne, WNU Service. * Scenes and I 1?Emperor Haile Selassie of ith Andrew Jackson Houston, s exas. 3?Count Galeazzo Ciano, tdmiral Cook Lssumes Post as lir Bureau Head Rear Admiral Arthur B.

No Alibis Needed for Uhlan Gained Fame Hard Way IT SEEMS that several of the boys were mistaken. AU along they had insisted that?if he wanted to?the winner of the EouisSchmeling fight festival could turn the trick with one hand tied behind his back. Yet, as most of the 60,000 who witnessed the twelve round entertainment at Yankee Stadium will agree, nothing of the sort occurred. Indeed, even though the man who ultimately triumphed by a knockout might have left his southpaw at home for all the offensive use he made of it, that would have been impossible. Max Schmelling is not one of the great fighters of all time. I mention this for the benefit of those who already have forgotten about second raters and who now will attempt to blow him up into a gaudy bubble. He merely, as was stated in this space, a well-conditioned experienced man who scorned to be scared by such childish things as newspaper headlines. Such qualities, along with a right that kept exploding long after the Brown Bomber Mhad been reduced to tossing duds, won for him. In | w *538 spue 01 me quuicu long odds and the R SSSIjP'feverish babblings ! i a J of gents scram' |L bling to get on ! II Tjpffi the before-the-batflbt tie band wagon, it P^JI really is not surW. - - ^ prising that they did. Max Louis, a gifted Sehmeling young giant who had been brought to the top faster j than any heavyweight of modern | times, fought a good fight. t It merely happened that in his first real test against a man who could take it and hit back he did not have quite enough. Since such a possibility had been faintly hinted at by sports reporters, unwilling to further offend the better judgment of their editorial department comrades, his downfall need not therefore be considered a world catastrophe. Joe, undoubtedly, was in the best j of shape when he shuffled out for the first round. As usual, when not facing a Levinsky or a Retzlaff, be was somewhat slow in opening up his opponent. But, even though he is strictly a counter puncher and was thus handicapped when Sehmeling made him lead far J more than usual, he scored repeatedly with left jabs. So he won the j first three rounds, even though | they were close and far from thrilling. Max Failed to Press 4th Round Advantage He also was ahead in the fourth, having handed out some tidy twohanded punishment during the infighting, when disaster overtook him. Sehmeling, who says that he J became confident of victory during the third round, missed with a J right. Louis came close. Schmei ing slashed with a right The Bomber went down. While the audience was gasping, scarcely daring to believe, he was up. But from then on, even though the methodical Max was too shrewd or cautious to follow up as would a Oempsey, Louis was a beaten man. Even though he fought back determinedly, even desperately at times, it is more than probable that Louis has little coherent memory of what happened while he was losing the rest of the rounds. Comirtg out of his corner for the tenth his mouthpiece was awry. He fumbled at it, did not seem to know what to do. As it was, what by now seemed inevitable did not occur until two minutes had elapsed in the twelfth. They had been in a clinch. Schmeling straightened up the Bomber with a left to the chin. Then the German, whose left eye had been closing tighter and tighter since it collided with a jab in the third round, shifted for a better view. Having trained his sights, he landed with a right and then a succession of lefts and rights. Louis backed up, was forced against the ropes. The bombardment of rights continued. Louis staggered. Another right. He reeled into the ropes, got tangled in them much I as Paulino Uzcudun did at the Qar- i den last December. , Schmeling stood there, his right i hand poised for another shot It I was not needed. j WHEN Larry French went lute the Giants' dugout recently carrying a bat he was not looking 4 for tronble. Instead, the Chicago pitcher produced a fountain pen and the request that Mel Ott and Joe Moore autograph the club . . . Citizens who lament misfortunes ?r which befell them in the betting ring shortly before Brevity and King Saxon were retired are pre- P1 paring a plea for the State Racing hi commission. They will supplicate fs the racing rulers, who now use taxpayers' sugar for all sorts of st interesting things, to appoint a few s< paddock inspectors capable of de- hi claring lame horses out of stake s) engagements.

Instead, they aver that eminent business men are the worst ^ risks and the most persistent welchers. Two of the most accomplished m umpire baiters in the National league draw top salaries as members of the Cincinnati front office force. During a considerable portion of the afternoon they sit in the w stands howling at the arbiters. Then if a Klem or some equally cj able umpire happens to be doing his duty they rush into the dress- ying room after the game to emit additional beefs. Strangely enough (in a world where even clam dig- _j gers rush to the rescue of their mates) the two gentlemen, McPhail and Lane, were football officials long before they got on the Reds' pay roll . . . One of the = entrants in the final Olympic gymnastic tryouts on June 20 is Porter Johnson. He comes from Dallas, is a tumbler and is fifteen years old . . . Edward Hennig, the Cleveland club swinger who hopes ' to repeat his Olympic triumph of 1904, is fifty-five years old . . . The woman golfer least liked by caddies is Enid Wilson, the British star. The reason is that even though Diana Fishwick does very nicely with nine clubs they have to tote 28 around the course for Miss Wilson.
