tor cars come to take up more and
more OF the time. The old delight
of cruising down to Rio in a one
pound brig with the trade winds
whistling through her match stick
rigging soon passes into the limbo
of forgotten joys.
But in this respect young Gibbs
differed from his fellows. Born in
Philadelphia Of a long line of farm
ers and merchants. there was no
tradition Of sea-faring ancestors to
account for the grip ships had upon
him. Yet for him ships of every
kind kept throughout the years their
pristine glamor and romance.
His miniature crafts were more
than playthings. He studied their
construction. He took them apart
and put them together again. He
tried always to improve their de-
sign-their speed. their seaworthi-
ness, the beauty Of their lines.
A Call for Ships
The year 1917 found America pre-.
pairing to throw her mighty armies
into the wild weller of war on the
battlefields Of France. But to trans
port the fighting men, the munitions
and the supplies America must have
tships-must build ships, for already
the worlds supply was taxed to the
! limit of it's capacity.
William Francis Gibbs, growing
out of boyhood, had studied at Har-
ward and. Columbia. After that he
had spent two years in special re-
search. and in learning all that for
eign shipbuilders could teach him
And all his studies had but served
to strengthen the fascination that
lay for him in the stately ships that
ride the deep sea surges Of the
oceans of the world
The First Great Success
So it was that in the Spring of 1917
young Gibbs stood beside the ex
perimental tank of the Navy Depart
ment intently watching a model OF
his own design as he had watched
the Cappadocia when nine-year-old
boy.

Thirty Years Later

Thirty Years Later
Three decades have rolled by since
the launching Of the Cappadocia in
bathtub which the imagination of
boy had invested with the huge
berths, the towering cranes, and all
the other titanic activities of busy
shipyard. For the last seven
years the man who was that boy has
been recognized both at home and
abroad as one Of the most brilliant
ship designers this country has ever
produced.
From playing with toy boats to in
ternational fame as a marine archi-
tect! From the family bathtub to
a famous shipyard on the Atlantic
Coast, where this marine architect
is busy today constructing the Ma
lolc, the largest and fastest high
powered passenger steamship ever
built in the United States! They
seem like long jumps. They are,
too. But not so long as they seem.
Most people will tell you that it is
good thing for boy to have a
hobby. William Francis Gibbs will
go further. He will tell you that he
would not be supervising the con-
struction Of great liner today but
for the boyhood hobby that led to
the launching of the Cappadocia.
All of his success in later life goes
back to that hobby. The hobby horse
he groomed so carefully as young
ster has proved the steed to carry
him to fame and fortune.
The Boy Gibbs
Thousands and tens Of thousands
OF American boys have built them
selves toy boats and have sailed
them in anything they could find,
from the bathtub to the ocean.
Caught by the beauty and the mys-
terry Of ships, boy needs only his
fertile imagination to people his
craft with staggering crew and
stuff her hold with the treasures of
Cathay.
In the case of most boys, however.
other things soon come to seem more
interesting. Games. the movies, mo-

to two and one-hslf inches in
thickness, the working having been
extended to experimental testing
for commercial concerns with the
arsenal apparatus. The new high
pressure steam power plant line near
Boston was among those so examined.
At the Aberdeen, Md, proving
ground General Williams said, impor-
tant research was being conducted by
means of a camera, obscura in sclen-
tific study of the flight of bombs
dropped by aircraft. The expert
ments were started as an incident to
the testing of the bombs but have
disclosed data which will permit the
plotting of the trajectory and develop
ment of a suitable range table for use
by aircraft troops.
