STORAGE BATTERIES
ON LEVIATHAN HOLD
EMERGENCY POWER
Supplemental Radio Set Is
:. Equipped With
~ =. Exide. II.

Elaborate precautions are taken to
maintain, in the event of emergency.
uradio communication between the
Leviathan and the rest of the world.
This system of emergency radio on
the Leviathan is explained by II. +.
Brunnemann of the local Exide Bat
terry Service station. Should the
main set, which is the greatest ships
radio in the world, become disabled,
an emergency set will provide the
means of communication with the
nearest stations. This set is equip
ped with an Exide battery of GO cells,
which is held in reserve, ready at all
times to furnish the current that may
- be needed in case Of trouble to send
broadcast the call for help.
This emergency power equipment,
according to Mr.. Brunnemann, is not
the only provision made to insure I'M
interrupted service from the electrical
equipment of the Leviathan. Incl
dentally, its electrical equipment is
probably the most elaborate Of any
ships today. For instance, 600 inter-
cabin telephones furnish facilities for
the passengers to converse with one
another from their staterooms. These,
as well as the interior communication
system, are operated by Exide bat
teries.
Another Of the many emergency
units of storage batteries is that held
in reserve in the event of the failure
of the mighty generators. which sup
ply the current for the thousands of
lights throughout the ship. Should
these generators fail. a sufficient part
of the lighting load would be auto
matically taken up by an Exide bat
terry of 100 cells. Thus, confusion
and possible panic that might follow
the failure of the lights would be
prevented.
One of the many devices which
make the Leviathan the safest ship
in the world for ocean travel is the
"clear vision screen" This is n glass
@disc, electrically driven at 1000 revo-
buttons per minute. 1t enables the
Leviathan's officers to see through
rain and mist. Exide batteries. float
ing on the power line. insure unfail-
- ing power for this and many other of
these devices with which the Ievia-
than Is equipped for safety purposes.

an aggregate cargo of 100000 tons
and paying tolls of more than $780,
100000, have passed through the Pan
m canal in the nine years of it's OPP

largest increase was in vessels of the

the largest ~intercOastal trade, which il
part was due to the development o.
the California oil fields.

DREMIER MUSSOLINI one day last
L week declared to his cabinet, and
to the world, that If the League of
Nations insisted on considering and
deciding the Italo-Greek embroglio,
Italy would withdraw from the league
and refuse to recognize its decision.
He also asserted the seizure Of Corfu
was not a war measure, but that the
Greek island would be held until Italy's
demands had been satisfied. How
ever, Greece's appeal to the league was
taken up by the council in Geneva,
and Signor Salandra, the italian dele
gate, read a statement from Rome that
indicated MussOlini was cooling down
considerably. 1t was merely that
'the Italian government irrevocabiy
expresses the opinion that the council
should not proceed to take the action
requested by Greece"
The general belief was that the
French and British representatives
had induced the Fascist premier t.
go slow. The council, however, post
poned action on the matter until the
council of ambassadors should decide
what it could do, and the latter body
also delayed, pending further accord
between London and Paris. Lore
