improbable tales by mrs w b bailey as mrs blackford talked with two of her neighbors mrs elliott and sirs conner she went on with her pre parations for too luncheon which eh must soon serve to hungry school boys and girls the two friends had just sepped into the bright tunny kitchen for a few minutes chat somehow they always felt much more cheerful and happy after a little visit with this busy happy neighbor she seemed to them just full of all sorts of help- 4n- ful ideals hobby aged flve just borne from mug duvals kindergarten skipped gleefully into tho room mother he eagerly began theres a great big old freight train down there on the track and it runned right over a lit tle freight train it sure did right down there on the crossing out he skipped again now if that isnt just like a child of that age maudie marie is always 0- making up the most awful stcrles you ever heard and she sticks to them as the truth said mrs conner dont you correct bobby for telling such falsehood mrs blackford ask ed mrs elliott no said mrs blackford slowly and thoughtfully i dont scold him if that is what you mean anyway he hasnt told a falsehood hasnt told a falsehood didnt he just tell you that one train ran over ancthcr one demanded mrs elliott yes he did but to him that is a truth it really happened he just hasnt entirely learned in which place it happened will you please explain asked mrs connor sensing a good idea back of all this children of his age are often eon- fused when their imaginations begin to develop they are sometimes real ly uncertain which events are purely imaginative and wliici physically true they rave two complete and different worlds in both of which they live actually and actively one just as real and vital to them as the other but at this moment she heard hobby returning and stopped in her explanation her neighbors were anxious to hear what was to come this time the mother calmly continued her work about the kitchen mother there was the nicest little freight train down there on the track a while ago pulling along like this chuff chuff hands and feet assist- edhira in being a train feet scuffing arms wcrking like drivers on the drive wheels and directly along came a great big old freight and runned right over the little one and mashed it flat its right down there on the track yet out he hurried as though to look at the fearful remains again i am gradually showing bobby which world is which and he will ct me out of it all right continued mrs blackford as soon as her son was out o the kitchen hell b back and explain that he understands the train episode was imaginary a story 1 have watched and helped too many safely through the same thing to be at all alarmed about it i was so em barrassed and worried about my old est son though when he had this ex perience sometimes dogs were bears horses elephants and onco crows were negro angels hero he comes again whispered mr3 connor this time bobby came more slowly riding a horse mother theres just one train down on the track its just the same old freight thats down there every day but that was a good story wasnt li the i ne i told about the big train and the little rtaln now tho trouble with us said mrs elliott is that we should havo told the hoy he falsified at onco and made him so stubborn ho could never have seen the straight of the thing you have suggested the only dan ger about the whole situation re sponded mrs blackford continual ly tell an imaginative child that ho lies and he will very likely begin to practice real deceit we need to try to understand the little mind and

airminded day by day it is the fashion to say that britains future lies in the air this is of course true but only to a certain extent the british empire was originally built by seamen it is knit together by the sea and s commercial future must continuo to exist by the sea until such time as aerial development has reached a pitch at which the carrying of heavy cargoes by air is an accepted and an economic fact writes major sir henry segrave in the london sunday express i foresee that a farreaching devel opment is coming in shipbuilding which will in due course transform the future of shipping and increase the prosperity of this country this development must be in the direction of increased speed our ships are too slow t takes 3s days for the averag- cargo boat to come from melbourne to london with a cargo of fruit or frozen meat it should take only 20 to 25 days in fu ture half the time go to new york by fast liner and it costs you seven days in valuable time you should bo able leave southampton on monday morning and dine in new york on wednesday night you can now do it by airship but not all people like the air and you cannot send coal or wheat by airship goods from capetown take about 20 days to come 6000 miles it should be halved at least in the future the same applies to every corner of the empire which ha- seaborne trade and communications more speed means more trade less cold storage less loss by depreciation less unemployment quicker dominion development greater understanding between nations and a closerknit empire i the current idea seems to be that airships and airplanes alone can ac- mplish these onds i disagree air craft from a commercial point of view for some years to come at any rate will be more or less an unecon omic proposition that the development of speed in ships has virtually stood still for the last 20 years has been proved by the recent performance of the 22yearold maurelania against the supermodern bremen motor cars have practically reached tho limits of perfection railways like ships have also remained stationary or nearly so from the point of view of development but their have attain ed a much greater degree of efficiency than ships bremen speed tho mauretania 22 years old can still almost equal tho speed of the brandnew bremen i hear that the bremen did not do her utmost when she set up the new record what of it even if she can do the atlantic crossing in 10 hours ov even a day less what does that prove merely that a certain advance has been made an advance which one naturally and justifiably expcts after 20 years of researc and redesigning but as an advance as the fruit of 20 years it is not enough twenty years ago motor cars could not travel at a hundred miles an hour today they can more than double that speed twenty years ago airplanes could not fly at a mile a minute today they can do five perhaps sixe miles a minute motor cars then in twenty years have mora than- doubled their speed airplanes have quadrupled theirs and shipping the most vital of all the ser vices that bind our empire and bring our daily bread shipping cannot show an increase in speed of even onefifth of the rate it was capable of when i was a boy of thirteen and many of my readers were in their cradles other factors comfort carrying capacity size fuel and safety devices have all been improved on speed alone remains practically static what is the cause of this lack of progress i would put the answer in ono word design the design of ships in its broad principles has altered little since the first viking galley grounded on these shores the modern chip liko tho gal ley still has a keel a sharp bow and a deep hold she it still half submerged and she still plows her way forward against tho resistance of the water that is where she is slow engine a ship as powerfully as you like and still an enormous amount of her horse power will be wasted in overcoming the resistance of the water there should be as little as possible water resistance the ship of the future must come nearly always the case anything new is looked on askance until it is an established fact judged by america we are many years behind in the de sign of high speed commercial water craft during the next few years new superspeed liners and cargo boats must inevitably de developed on high speed principles the modern highspeed runabout goes fast because unlike boats of equal size built before now it rises to the surface and glides along tho top of the watei instead of pushing its way through it as has hitherto been the case any one can easily realize that with a givei amount of horsepower a boat will travel faster provided that by reason of its design it glides along the surface of the water instead of plowing through it when the greater part of the given horsepower is ex pended in separating the water so to speak and cutting a path for itself in large boats tho water thus dis placed runs into thousands of tons principles of design the principle on which the modern sped craft are designed is called the hard chine principle it has hither to been applied only to small craft of up to fifty feet in length because it was believed that the absence of the keel immersed well below the surface detracted from the seaworthiness and stability of the boat experiments now in progress in america have shown that this thcorj is a fallacious orc the difference between the two types is to put it simply that the hard chine boat must be handled differently in a heavy sea from that of orthodox design liner of future i visualize that the great liner of the future and equally the cargo ves sel will have a greater earn and less draught than the liner of today and will be designed on the hard chine principle in conscqunce the power needed to drive 1 er at the higher speed will be less in proportion to that which is needed to maintain a speed of say twentyeight knots today with the present design it will of course be argued by many naval architects that a boat will be unseaworthy in heavy weather but i do not think that this will prove to be the case any more than the present- day lines is equally unseaworthy in bad weather those who have made many voyages across tho atlantic know that when bad weather is ex perienced even with such gigantic ships as the majestic or the bcren- aria they have to slow down to speeds of something like ten knots or under for hours at a time until conditions improve on the sea over the next ten years i feel sure that great scientific devel opments will take place and such a result of data now being obtained from experimental work in connection with highspeed power craft when the maximum point of effi ciency has been reached with a certain design there is only one thing left to do and that is to change that design and adopt an altogether different prin ciple the principle on which a modern speed boat is built is absolutely dif ferent from that on which the pas senger liner and cargo vessel have hitherto been built whether this principle can be adapted to ships of this nature will be proved during the next few years but i venture to think that it can at any rate the opportunity to adapt it and experiment with it lies before british naval architects who if they are bold enough to take it may revolutionize british shipping and maintain our superiority at sea
