system which makes it possible to OBJ
+, tain fresh air in any part of the vessel
every six minutes. There is hot
water heating system should the wea-
ther turn cold. But that is improb-
able, because the route of the vessel
will keep it within 20 degrees of the
Equator at all times. Every part of
the yacht can be reached by telephone.
1t is electrically lighted and fur
nished in keeping with its general tone.
The Speejacks owner laid out his
route with the idea of getting away
from all the usual yachting cruises
and breathing breath of real adven-
ture. That he has succeeded probab-
ly will be well established before his
voyage grows old. He plans to make
many landings in out-of-the-way
places and there is likely to be some
lively times for all. The Speejacks
has two motor dories and a dinghy
for landing, and the machine guns
will not be forgotten among the
strange lands which the party is to
visit.
The work of preparing for the voy
age covered several months. The task
of obtaining passports for all of the
ships company in the many lands they
will visit was several weeks work.
The boats odd name was bestowed
on the owner at Harvard, from which
he was graduated in 1907.
Mrs. Gowen comes from Texas
and admitted that this was her first
sea trip, a little matter of $4,000
miles on o8-foot boat. Asked how
she expected to keep busy on her long
voyage, Mrs. Gowen said that she
planned to do lot of reading. She
had been studying about the countries
ahead of her, and helped to collect
the ships library, consisting mostly of
travel books.
"And Mr.. Gowen wants me to
write the whole story" she added.

"In God We Trust

The motto "In God We Trust, ;"
found on all gold and silver coins of
the United States, has an interesting
history. 1t was first suggested by a
Maryland farmer in 1861 to Salmon
P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury.
The farmer wrote that, as America
claimed to be Christian people, it
should register some recognition on
the. coins. Chase urged the matter
upon Congress in 1862, and again in
1868, in these terms:
"The motto suggested, God Our
Trust is taken from our national
hymn, The Star-Spangled Banner
The sentiment is familiar to every
citizen of our country; it has thrilled
millions of American freemen. The
time is propitious, It's the hour of
national peril and danger, an hour
when mems strength is weakness,
when our strength and salvation must
be of God. Let us reverently acknow
ledge the sovereignty and let our COIN
age declare Our Trust III God.
A 2-cent piece was subsequently
authorized on April D, 1864, upon
which was first stamped the motto,
'In God We Trust" In the follow
irg year this motto was placed on all
gold and silver coins.-Ex.

IN THE northeastern part of Ar
gentina, where the boundaries of
Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay
meet, the Iguazu River empties into
the Upper Parana River, the waters
foam and fret and leap and bound
over a perpendicular cliff some 213
feet high, forming one of the great
cataracts of the world. In grandeur
and scenic beauty the Iguazu Falls
compare favorably with Niagara.
The Iguazu Falls are fifty feet
higher and have lateral extent of
1,250 feet greater than their North
American rival. But Niagara has a
greater volume of water.
The Iguazu Falls, it is estimated,
have an energy of 100000 horse
power. The government of the Ar
gentine Republic is now giving SER
ious consideration ITO the problem of
harnessing portion Of this tremen-
dous horsepower and transmitting it
in the form of electricity thousand
miles to the Argentine capital, Buenos
Ayres. DR.. Tomas A. LIE Breton,
ambassador of Argentina to the
United States, has submitted to his
government a report on the water
power development that has been done
and is contemplated in the United
States, including the work at Niagara
Falls, where the great power has been
harnessed and used to produce cleo
tricity to run factories and mills in
manufacturing centres.
The World War showed Buenos
Ayres the danger of coal shortage.
and it is now estimated that electric
power can be carried from the Iguazu
Falls and sold at a price that will
bring it in easy competition with the
cheaper grades of coal. The present
plan contemplates using 100000
horsepower, which later can be in
creased to 100000. Four lines will
be built, each one being capable of
carrying the entire amount of cleo
tricity needed, so that in the event of
breakdown on one line the others
can carry the current and there will be
no interruption of the service to the
public. Other cities where the cleo
trio power can be distributed are Par
ana, Rosario, Corrientes, and Santa
Fe. The project will cost from $780,
100000 to $40,000,000.
AS the Iguazu Falls lie on the
boundary line between Brazil and
Argentina, decision as to the amount
of water power to which each coun-
try is entitled must be made, the same
as Canada and the United States de-
termined their respective water-power
rights from the Niagara Falls.
At one time both Brazil and Ar
gentina laid exclusive claim to the
Iguazu Falls, and the matter was
part of boundary line dispute that
was referred to President Grover
Cleveland of the United States in
1894 for determination says the KAN
sas City Times. In his "missinnes
award" he held that the boundary
should run from where the Pequiry
river empties into the Uruguay river,
up the Pequiry to its page 8. 0ol -

tended tor the most part. His craft
cost close to quarter of a million
dollars, and to boatman she is the
prettiest thing that ever tripped the
waves.
The Speejacks is SO feet long, 100
tons, II feet wide and draws six feet.
Everything below the water line is
made Of bronze, and all of the upper
works are teakwood, especially i'm
ported from India, at a cost of about
five times that of mahogany. Even
the decks are teakwood. Inside, the
Speejacks is finished in natural waxed
mahogany, and for completeness and
elegance she is without rival. Her
driving power comes from two $50
horsepower engines, operated either
by gasoline or kerosene, capable of Is
knots an hour, with cruising radius
of 5000 miles.
The Speejacks carries $500 gallons
Of gasoline and 1000 gallons of
water. AS this last would be only
three weeks supply for the party
aboard, condensers were installed to
obtain fresh water from salt. These
will produce SIX gallons an hour. A
refrigerating machine will turn the
distilled water into ice as needed.
The Speejacks carries $4,000 feet
of moving picture film, and 100000
feet additional will be picked up en-
route. There are two cameras aboard
and an expert photographer, who will
take complete film history of the
whole trip.
The 'Speejacks' radio has a trans
mission range of 1000 miles, and will
receive messages from any distance.
She carries wireless telephone outfit
with radius of 600 miles. The Spec
jacks has four of the latest type ma
chine guns, firing up to 1000 shots
minute, and an arsenal of small arms.
Mr.. Gowen plans to 60 inland in
the Straits Settlement, Siam, southern
China and West Africa after game.
Aside from being a jaunt around
the world, the voyage of the Speejacks
has historical and scientific phase.
Mr.. Gowen has collected no less than
$40 charts for his trip, and he expects
to bring back some notable improve
'ments in maps, particularly those of
the South Sea islands, which still re-
main unexplored to a great degree.
AS representative of the National
Geographic society and the Field
museum, Chicago, he will endeavor
to obtain new information on wild
life as he finds it.
Bernard F. Rogers, Jr., of Chicago,
Yale, 1918, an expert photographer
and amateur taxidermist, is the right
hand man of Mr.. Gowen on the trip.
The Specjacks will be manned for the
most part by friends of the host, in
cluding Frank Trevor Hogg, Prince
ton, 1917, former football captain
and the yachts master. Jack Lewis
of Cleveland, the chief engineer, is an
expert yachtsman. David William
son, New York broker, has shipped as
a sailor, and James Sterling, the as
sistant engineer, formerly was first
grade lieutenant in the navy. Ira ].

tary, and two cooks make up the re-

- VERYBODY dreams about slip
4 ping their anchor one of these
days and going down to the sea
in a snug little boat, outward bound
for strange far-away lands. To all
who love the water this is an uncut
page of romance, the thing they al
ways hope to do and never quite ac-
complish. But recently the ebb tide
carried 98-foot motor yacht through
Ambrose channel on trip around the
world and marked the beginning of
dream to come true for at least one
man. His craft is the first of its kind
and size to undertake such voyage,
which is expected to last a year and
half. 1t carried the flag of the Ad-
venturers' club, writes James c.
Young in the New York Times.
The sailing of the Speejacks, as
this modern argosy is named, was the
first step in realization of a castle
built in the air two years ago by Al
bert Y. Gowen, Jr., of Cleveland,
yachtsman and big business man, who
has been visualizing soft southern
skies and the "feel' of the swelling
tide between deals in the workaday
world. Mrs. Gowen joined in the
dream, and now she is aboard the.
Speejacks as the yacht travels south
ward, the only woman who ever
started on $4,000 mile trip in
craft not much larger than many
motorboats.
But the Speejacks is miniature
ocean liner, said to be the most COM
pletely equipped vessel of its sort
which has come off the ways.
After stopping at Norfolk and
Kingston, Jamaica, the Speejacks will
cut through the Panama canal and
start across the Pacific for the Mar
quesas islands, distance of 3,729
miles, which alone represents record
attempt for boat Of this kind. From
there the route lies via Tahiti, Society
islands, thence to Samoa, FIJI, the
New Hebrides and New Caledonia.
Mr.. Gowen plans to cruise through
the South Sea islands, many of which
are practically unknown and isolated
from anything called by the name of
civilization.
The party plans to spend Christ
mas in Sydney, Australia, then on to
Java, Borneo and Manila. From
there they will go to China, Siam,
India, Arabia, and spend their second
Christmas in Cairo. Once more un-.
der way, the Speejacks will visit Tur-
key, Greece, France and Spain, before
turning her nose southwark to West
Africa. Then the long trip across the
Atlantic, reaching home again about
April, 1923.
Two years ago Mr.. Gowen decided
that he needed vacation. He had
built four yachts, and set about plan
ming fifth which was to be unlike
anything ever constructed, for
cruise which nobody ever had at
tempted. He put in year on the
plans before commissioning a Harlem
River yard to lay the Speejacks' keel.
Another year was spent in the work,
which Mr.. Gowen personally superin-
