Ship Builders Problems

It is not generally realized that an
Atlantic liner Of 10000 tons, although
perfectly suitable for its own regular
voyage, would be unsuitable for trips
to Australia or India, unless 1t trav-
eled by way Of the Cape. 1t is the
Suez canal that makes the difference.
The cross-sectiOn of boat using
the Suez canal is roughly U-shaped,
whereas an Atlantic liners section Is
V-shaped. This difference is necessi-
tated by the limitation which the depth
Of the canal imposes on ships using it.
The difference in shape makes a diff
ference in speed, for the V-shape is a
factor in favor of sped.
But even if the liners were of sim
liar build, it is improbable that those
sailing to Australia and India could
compete in speed over given mileage
with their Atlantic rivals, because the
colder water Of the Atlantic is great
factor in favor Of speed. 1t makes for
better condensation than the warmer
temperature of eastern waters.-LOn-

Honors Paid Leader
of Woman Suffrage

Representatives of womens organi-
cations in Norway recently gathered
together to pay tribute to the memory
of the birth. 100 years ago. Of Aasta
Hansteen. one Of the pioneers OF the
woman's movement in that country
and personality SO original that she
has been the model for Norwegian
dramatists and sculptOrs.
Aasta Hansteen was the gifted
daughter of Prof Christopher Han
steen Of the University of Oslo
(formerly Christianity. A university
career was at that time unthought
OF for woman, and the only career
which was deemed possible for wom-
an was art, writes the Oslo CORE
spOndent of the Christian Science
Monitor. Aasta Hansteen therefore be-
came painter and studied at Copen-
hagen. Dusseldorf and Paris, but she
soon left painting for literature and
also to work for the liberation Of
womanhood in her country. Her point
was that woman as we'll as man Is
created in Gods image and this she
argued with her seemingly narrow
minded contemporaries.
Aasta Hansteen lectured publicly on
this favorite idea of hers and people
scorned her and ridiculed her. In those
days 1t was an unheard-of thing for
women to speak in public and the
doors of her friends and relatives
therefore became closed to her. 1t
was then that she felt she must leave
her native land and she went to the
United States, where she stayed in
Boston for nine years between 1880
and 1880.
Meanwhile Norwegian women be-
came active, suffrage clubs and So
cieties were formed and when Aasta
Hansteen heard Of what was going on
she returned to Norway, radiating with
zest and in fighting mood. When the
woman's suffrage movement was pro-
crossing Aasta Hansteen became less
militant, and when she heard in 1907
that women had got the vote she took
the news at first with an impressive
silence. Later she said. Remember
that the woman's movement goes
further than to get the vote; it aims
at the spiritual liberation of all hui
mainly"
1t now seems hardly possible that
fifty years ago a woman was out
lawed in Norway because she spoke in
public. Progress certainly seems to
have been rapid.

Opinion on the decision was di-
yidcd. One sports critic, who halls

fight belonged to Bcrcot all the way
but other experts" at the ring
side leaned toward Hart.
The bout was lacking in thrills.
1t was a boxer against slugger, II
combination that rarely swings into
action. Bercot led the fight the en-
tire distance, but the shifty, scien-
tific work of the easterner told in
points.
Hart used right to Bercot S
head with telling effect during the
first of the fight and then, when
the end approached, switched to
left and right swings to the body.
out i'll the seventh and eighth rounds
but Hart, clever and quick OH his
feet, kept out of danger and built
up his score.
The gallery howled disapproval at
the decision. Bercot's desire to
fight made a hit with the boys on
the shelf. They had little use for
the brainwork of Hart.
