Giant ‘QaeenMary’Almost Ready
► To Make Maiden Voyage To U. S.
„V ELMIR w. PETERSON
SOUTHAMPTON, England.—<4>
How fast the 80.773-ton liner Queen
Marv can travel with her engines
■ full out” may remain a mystery
vfll after she negotiates her maid
fn voyage to New York late in
May.
It is rumored, as the latest At
ifcniic colossus undergoes further
tc.st runs after registering 30 knots
n'early trials, that no effort will
oc made to break existing speed
ifcortis on the first trip across.
Emphasis may be placed, instead,
on detection of vibration and gen
cral mechanical efficiency.
The 16 giant turbines, generating
200000 horsepower if need be. in
* ihree-story-high, white-walled
engine room, are to be given every
opportunity to work themselves in
properly.
Oner the engine room indicator
i, put at full speed ahead, however,
anti it may happen on the maiden
VOvage for all that, it is confident
ly predicted that the Queen Mary
will hit 32 to 34 knots, or Close to 40
miles an hour. ,
But no definite word can be ob
tained as to speed. Sir Edgar Brit
tn.. commodore of the Cunard
fleet, who will captain the ship, will
not say. The builders will not say.
Ana officials of the Cunard White
Star Line also are ailent.
They are more outspoken on the
question of vibration, long regarded
as a peril to so large a vessel. It has
been stated that the Queen Mary,
while coming down the Clyde, twice
went full speed astern, with all four
propellers, without anyone on deck
being aware of the fact.
You can put a full glass of water
on an engine casing and not spill a
drop,' was the proud boast of one
ot the engineers who was present
on the first run.

Norman Thomas
Thinks Roosevelt
Will J8e Elected
Norman Thomas, the one-time
P^sbjterlan minister who heads
the Socialist party, thinks Roose
velt will be re-elected as "the less
er of two evils.” But the won’t cam
paign for the Democratic incumb
ent.
Instead he will campaign for his
own philosophy of government, and
continue Just as enthusiastic an ad
vocate of his party’s ticket as
though the patronage plum-bag
were immediately around the cor
ner. Twice he has been the Social
ist candidate for mayor of New
York, once for governor of New
York, and twice for President.
But unlike other political speak
ers he takes little vacation between
campaigns. In the last year he has
belabored the social security bill, ad
vocated strict neutrality laws, de
manded orderly amendment of the
' Constitution.
He has intimated he would like to
seek a congressional seat this year,
but no matter what nomination he
is given he probably will be heard
In many states.

Lone Wolf Takes
To Trail Again;
Hunting Cougars
~11 ■"1 »"■" 1 11
LEWISTON, Idjho—</P)—The lone
wdlf of the Clearwater hu taken to
the trail again to add to hta laurels
as the champion cougar killer of the
Idaho timber lands.
Oeorge Lowe, the state’s veteran
predator hunter, la credited with
bagging 117 of the Mg cats during
his 11 years on the trail. Out of the
wilds for a ’breathing spell,” he re
ported killing 17 during the past
winter. One of them, a mighty
“Tom” measuring nine feet from
tip to tip and weighing 230 pounds,
was the Mggest he ever killed.
Lowe says there is plenty of rea
son for wanting to skin as many
cougars as he can get his knife on.
“An ordinary cougar will kill an
average of two deer a week,” said
the grizzled old woodsman. “A cat
wtll eat only one meal after a kill.
He wtll down the deer, gorge him
self on meat and then crawl up a
rocky ledge to doze for a couple of
days.
•’Then hell come back, walk
around the cold carcass several
times and go out after another. A
cougar vgm't eat cold meat. He
leaves the carcass for coyotes, or to
rot.”
Lowe travels the trail alone on
snowshoes, but It Is always “we”
and “us.” a hat takes in his three
hounds.
‘‘They’re my pals,” he explains,
“and we’ve stuck together in a lot
of tight places.”
Lowe feeds his dogs In the wilds
by “boning out a shank of venslon”
from some frozen carcass left by a
cougar. He mixes the meat with ce
real.
Heading back to the tall timber,
the veteran hunter predicted he
would add a few more pelts to that
117 record before he and the snow
leave the woods.
