Editor Forsees When Leisure Time Will Be World's Chief Problem TITAN SALUTES TITAN Columbus, Ohio. Joy Klmcr Mor- gan, i iliioi of the Journal of the Na- tional Education Association, advises XJ n Heel States educators to prepare the public for the time when the aver- *ge working day will be Just four hours long. In a recent address to a department- al meeting of the association's annual convention, Morgan said the rapid rate of replacement of men by ma- chines makes it reasonable to believe that the working week .-ii.iu.iih will he shortened. Hy 1900 men and women probably will be- working the equivalent of flvo four hour days, he said. Me based this statement on the assumption that machine replacement of men will clip an hour off the working day each year. The problem for the educator, he said, is to teach the public how to use all the leisure time It will have on lis hands.

The liver may have been boiled or fried, according to whether you are using left-overs from breakfast or new meat. If you have no stock, skim the cream from the milk and use that. Add pepper and salt to taste and spread between slices of buttered brown bread. Sardine and Apple Another tasty filling is sardine and apple. Butter the requisite number ot slices of bread and on half of them place a split, boned sardine. Cover with a thin slice of raw apple dipped In mayonnaise dressing, and close the sandwich. Bread for sandwiches that are to be really appetizing should be cut thin and evenly, and have the crusts removed before being buttered. These can then be used for soup cro- quettes, pastry weights, and other cooking purposes. Cut the sandwiches Into small squares or triangles. If green salad is being used ag a filling, It should be well dried first, otherwise the water will soak Into the bread and ruin the sandwich. Future Generation Will Live Longer Middle-aged Man of To-day Has Less Chance of Sur- viving Disease New York. The middle aged man who sits back In his easy chair with the satisfying thought that science promises him twenty more years of life than It did two generations ago to his grandparents was warned by the Mllbank Memorial Fund recently that such a sense of security Is un- warranted, as the Increased span ap- plies not to himself but to his child ren.

R 100, the world's greatest airship, passes over the Quebec Bridge on its way up the historic St. Lawrence to Montreal. The daring imagination and skill of man hae conceived nothing mightier than these two feats, the gigantic dirigible and one of the largest and most spectacular pieces of engineering in the world. Transatlantic liners pass easily under the bridge, which links the Canadian National Railways lines on the south shore ot the St. Lawrence with those on the north shore, but the R-100 was one that went overhead.

Toronto, cost 1100,009 Duke's Ideal Of Camp Realized Brought Together on Terms of Equality and Simple Comradeship "Nearly four thousand boys have taken part in It; many hundreds ot firms have been associated with the weeks' life at New Uomuey; hardly a public school remains unrepresented and through the publicity given to the venture by the B.B.C. and the Press, many millions are aware of the fact of the Camp, but many still ask the question: 'What is its purpose?' or that far more complex query: 'Do they mix'?" so writes Mr. Rjbert R. Hyde in Tile Camp Book (Benin, In which he tells the story of the camp suggest- ed by H.R.H. the Duke of York. It Is nearly ten years," says Mr. Hyde, "since the Duke of York con- ceived the Idea of bringing together on terms of equality und In simple com- radeship boys from the public schools and workshops of the country. "The sections are composed of an equal number of public school and in- dustrial boys, but beyond that division no attempt Is made either to segre- gate or mix the two elements. "Personal invitations were sent from the Duk of York to the schools and firms concerned, and within a few days the hazardous adventure was well under way." As to what the camp clous Mr. Hyde says: "On tho return of the industrial boys to one of tho storm centres of the country thoy were asked to meet a group of extremists. Thoy said to the boys: 'We want to know all about that Camp. What lectures did you have?' "The boys, somewhat taken aback, replied: 'We had no lectures.' " 'Didn't they talk to you about economics and things like that'." " 'No,' said the boys, 'we had no led urt>s ut all. 1 - 'Then what did you do all day?' said their eiueslioners. " 'Wo played and ate, and bathed.' "This U all we do at Camp, and these boys found it us hard to describe Its real significance as any other of us. "Camp, as we know it," adds Mr. Hyde, "is even more- a wlll-o'-tlie-wisp than the, 'Public. School Spirit.' The result has always h -en tho samo, the .visitors have been filled with enthusi- asm for the experiment. "We have never attempted serious- ly to answer the questions, 'Do they mix?" and 'What are the results?' for Camp Itself Is the only reply. To analyze, tabulate, sift, Investigate would be too hideously artificial, and would but laud us on a slippery slope. When the analytical motive domin- ates, it is almost impossible to avoid the temptation to play for results. Every effort would be strained to pro- mote good fellowship, and Camp would simply develop into an orgy of 'glad- handing.' "And so it has always proved; the Camp tells its own story." Million Words About R-100 Montreal It took nearly a million words to tell the world at large of the arrival of the R-100. Officials of the telegraph and cable companies estimated that since July 31st until noon Aug. 2nd, somewhere in the vicinity of 850.000 words sent out from the typewriters and pencils of the army of newspapermen here to "cover" the history making event and the "story" was flashed to every civilized country in the world. Telegraph operators worked all night under driving pressure and cables to the Old World were also kept humming with the news sent out by some 200 newspapermen and syndi- cate writers. British Excavation May Throw Light On Roman London History London. An important piece of ex- cavatiou will be started shortly when the ancient Roman city of Verulamium adjacent to St. Albans, Is to be un- covered. At present the only Roman remains above ground are the walls, and it Is with these that a start will be made. It is expected that the excavation will have the additional Interest of throwing light on the history of Ro- man London, for the walls of Veru- lamium and of London are of the same date, having been rebuilt by the Ro- mans after the destruction of both cities in the insurrection by the Bri- tish Queen Boudlcca (Boadlcea) In A.D. 61. Up to the present it has not been possible accurately to date the London wall. Verulamium is believed to occupy the same site as the prehistoric capi- tal of Cassivelauiius, the British King, which in all probability was older than London, and It continued to be an important Roman settlement till the severance from Rome took place "255; in the fifth century. The old site has never been built on since, and con- - . slsts to-day of smiling meadows by the River Ver, so that there is good hope of tracing the history of tha town from Celtic times, through tha Roman period, Into the Dark Ages. Many buildings are known to have been destroyed by pious Saxon abbots in the eleventh century, the famous Abbey itself having been built largely of material looted from the Roman ruins. But nevertheless the possibili- ties of valuable discoveries are almost unlimited. Already in 1847 the buried ruins of a Roman theatre were found, and it is believed that there are rich finds in store in the shape of temples, mansions and public buildings. In particular, it is hoped that on a site such as Verulamium some discoveries will be made that will throw light on some of the difficult problems ot Christianity in Roman Britain. How Good Are Good Used Cars? Speed, Power, Safety and Ap- pearance O.K. Brakes Vary Precisely how good are these "good used cars?" Thousands ot potential buyers ot Length of R-100 is 700 Feet A strange little error regarding tho length of the British dirigible R-100 came to light recently. Newspaper and other report* have constantly given the ship's length at 709 feet. Thin is not so. the Cana dlan Press learned. The R-100's tall was a trille, too long when she was lirst constructed, and nine feet were amputated. This makes the ship's overall length exactly 700 feet.

By so doing you will avoid the disappointment of finding a pretty frock spoiled by Hhrinking after the; first tubbing. such automobiles are asking this ques- tion constantly. The answers they re- ceive are couched in general terms. In most Instances at least. It was with a view toward develop- ing some specific information that a qualified group recently undertook the actual testing ot a number of used cars selected at random from the stock of several dealers. Cars In vir- tually all price classes were tested. In no case was the dealer from whom the car was borrowed for test purposes informed In advance. In all except one case the car was In the Identical condition it would have been had some average buyer walked in and paid for It. Characteristics considered included appearance, brake performance, speed, power, acceleration, noise, wear in various parts, especially the steering, wheel wobble, and in several cases fuel consumption. Methods ot mea- surement were not the most exacting possible, but In each case the results are approximately accurate. Car number one was a 1926 model The car was a roadster, with rum- ble seat. Its two tone tan finish wan virtually perfect. The khaki top, how- ever, was discolored, and the fender* which had been enamelled obviously needed it again. These two annnar- ance defects remedied, the car would have been a beauty. Its lines, though obsolete, always were popular. As to performance, the car still was capable of more than 60 miles an hour. On hills, its over-head valve engine was a marvel. In acceleration, it went for 5 to 25 miles an hour in ton Sr in 9 4-5 seconds. Its four-wheel brakes stopped it from 20 miles an hour In 31 feet. This, too, despite the fact tkat the brakes required equalizing. Although the top being down during the actual test may partially account for It, there was absolutely no noise In the car save a slight valve sound. The big six-cylinder engine gave 11 miles to the gallon of gasoline. The design of the water-pump ot the car was one of its weaknesses when new. In this particular model It gave no sign of trouble. The tires showed no tread wear, tending to bear out tin statement that none had seen morn than 5,000 miles of service. The third car tested was a 1929 coach model of a popular light sis. It was offered for $490. The speedom- eter showed 10,970 miles. The car had been beautifully kept from an ap- pearance standpoint. The maroon fin- ish had a high lustre and the chrom- ium parts were as bright as when new. The car, when new, had a top speed roadster of a line in the popular price | of approximately 65 miles an hour class. As a used car it was priced at n * "elation, always good, was un- John "Do you play golf?" Joan: "Oh dear, no! 1 don't even know how to hold tlin c-addle." Answers. Ouch!

In appearance the car was only fair. The lacquer had chalked at the back of the hood and the wheels need- ed painting. In performance the car | eet - ..^' nt> was surprising. As against a top speed of 4S miles an hour when new It still would travel at 43. The 23.000 miles on Its speedometer had not ef- fected the hill climbing ability for which the car always had a good repu- tation. Never particularly fast in high gear acceleration, the car nevertheless could get away with most modern cars at t raffle lights going through all the changed from the day It came out M a new car. The four-wheel brakes stopped the car from 20 m.p.h. In 21 high-speed eugine was silent and showed pulling per- formance ot merit. The only noises in the car were in a door and the right front seat which had worked loose from the floor. Comfort, one of the strongest claims of the car's maker, was off color be- cause the hydraulic shock absorbers needed fluid. All cars tested were typical. Tha results of the tests throw some specl- gears. Its two-wheel brakes would lic lll!ht on how sood is a good used stop It from 20 miles an hour within l ' ar - 40 feet, 10 feet under the legal limit. The emergency brake, however, need- ed service attention. At certain engine speeds there were two rather annoying noises due to vi- bration.
