The World and All

Foes Of tall buildings do not make much progress
IN New York. There are several associations and clubs
that work necessarily for laws to prevent the erection
u tall buildings in certain districts, and at least one
powerful organization that wants the height Of build
ings restricted all over town.
OF course. there are certain restrictions, but for
ali that, an imaginative and wealthy builder may 90

ted, with certain technical conditions based upon
ground area and other considerations

busy hole in the ground near Grand Central tsrminsl,

(By Central Press

NEW YORK, July 19.-TranSat-
lantic air records temporarily are
forgotten as the first new steamship
speed contender since the war
flashes through the water. With
Germany'S new greyhound of the
waves, the Bremen, making her
maiden voyage from Bremen to New
York, the entire transatlantic liner
complexion changes over night.
For the Bremen represents a new
r Of speed and luxury.
Spurs Competition
The challenge she makes has
spurred France, Italy and England
to order vessels that these nations
hope will surpass the Bremen and
her sister ship, the Europa. The
Europa'S completion has been de-
layed several months by a fire
aboard.
The Bremen averaged 28.5 knots
on her trial trip. The days record
run for transatlantic liners is held
by the Mauritania British, 27O4
knots an hour, made in 1911. The
Leviathan (U. S. made 1904 knots
for a short distance in a trial run
in 1923. The best speed record
across the Atlantic belongs to the
2~2-year-old Mauretaina. She has
averaged 1925 knots all the way
across.
A knot is 1.151553 miles.
It may be guessed, from these
figures, that eve though the
Mauritania and the Leviathan
Speeded up, the Bremen and the
Europa, fresh fro:2 the builders. are
likely to pass the older vessels.
The Bremen and Europa are not

Transatlantic Liner Speed Records Expected TO Be
Broken by Bremen, Boat ON First Trip Across

the Berengaria being taken by the
English following the war, and the
Leviathan by the U. S. The Olym-
pic and the Aquitania are English.
The new steamers displace the
Columbus, $4,000 tons, as the larg-
est German built vessel operated by
Germans.
The Bremen probably is the most
distinctive vessel to enter New York
harbor. She has a dubious DOW and
a rudder shaped like the wing Of
an airplane on streamline principle,
the invention of DR.. Max Oertz OF
Hamburg, for several years aSSocl-
ated with the late Count Zeppelin,
airship designer.
All lifeboatS + motorized and
have alright compartments to keep
them buoyant CT bobbing waves,
and can be launched with the
steamer at an angle o. As degrees
by means of a new kind of davit.
To Speed Her Up
The Bremen's superStructure is
rounded to break" the wind and
gain speed, and her huge tunnels
are egg-shaped for the same reason.
There are 10000 spots on the YES
sci from which to use buttons and
telephones for communication, and
there are four electric elevators to
the ten decks.
She is 938 feet long and 20 feet
wide and carries 5000 passengers
and a crew of $50.
Her accommodations, of course,
are luxurious, being probably as
striking in design as the modernis-
tic French lie de France.
Not the least of the Bremen's
equipment is a seaplane, which is
catapulted from deck and saves q
day in mail delivery.
