YOUNG CANADIAN
TOFACE GAR WOOD
James R. ArdieI, 20, to Pilot
HydropIane Against Detroit
Veteran.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT. January "A youth of
20 years, who was hardly out of swad-
ding clothes when the gray-haired Gar
Wood began winning speed-boat hon.
ors, is the latest to take seriously the
adage, youth must be served"
James r. Ardiel, who lives across
the Detroit River in Windsor, Ontario,
and Is a veteran of the bobbing out
board motor boats, although still just
short of legal age, hopes to pilot Ca
madam challenger against Wood in
this years Harmsworth Trophy races.
He doesn't say he's going to win, but
he does promise ''to be stepping en- 1t
all the way.
Pitted Against Skillful Pilot.
He will have to step on it." for he
will be pitted against the worlds fast
est hydroplane and the shrewdest and
most skillful pilot in motor boating.
Wood and his Miss America x estab-
lished the existing world water speed
miles an hour, year before last.
The youthful Canadian and his as
yet unbuilt hydroplane, in seeking to
beat Wood, are attempting feat that
proved too much for such pilots as
Kaye Don, Hubert Scott-Paine, Bert
Hawker and Betty Carstairs, all Brit
ish speed-boat aces.
1t was four years ago that Ardiel
entered his first big-time outboard race,
at Clear Lake, N. Y
In all, he has been in 106 outboard
races, and won 102 Of them, captur-
ing Just about all the flonors available
for amateurs. Among his triumphs
was a class F record of 54 miles an
hour, set at Manistee, Mich, two years
ago.
Won Upton Trophy.
He has won the Sir Thomas Upton
Trophy and twice captured the Lord
Wakefield Cup, emblematic of the Brit
ish empire outboard championship.
The young pilot-he was only when
Wood brought the Harmsworth plaque
back to the United States-concedes
that he has much to learn about ma
neuvering heavy hydroplanes, to get the
maximum speed out of the huge craft
a Canadian syndicate is having built
for him, but he believes he can get the
feel" of it in plenty of time to uphold
queen Of Woods fleet of Miss Americas,
next Summer.
His boat, according to unofficial re-
ports, will be nearly as big as the
queen Woods fleet of Miss Americas,
which measures 80 feet over all. If
the two converted 20-cylinder aircraft
motors to be built for the challenger
develop their theoretical 5000 horse
power, the Canadian boat will be good
match for Miss America x in that re-
spect, too.

BOARD ROOM SPACE
IS GIVEN TO C. W. A.
More Than Half of Quarters for
Public Hearings to Be Set
Aside for Units.

More than so per cent of the space
in the board room at the District Build
ing. frequently used for public hearings
and for meetings of various organiza-
tionS, Is to be converted into temporary
quarters for units of the District Civil
Works Administration.
The many activities incident to the
employment of nearly 10000 persons
under the new emergency program has
so cramped space in the District Build
ing that this expedient has been
adopted.
More than 125 of the $50 seats now
in the auditorium are to be removed
and desks will be placed there for clerks
handling accounting work dealing with
purchases of supplies, rental of equip
ment and work rosters for the c. w. A.
The principal difficulty Of this ar
rangement will arise with well attended
zoning hearings and public meetings.
No change has been made in the

Word Lone Clue.
The war with Spain delayed his re-
turn for several years and when he did
come back he found the settlement de-
serted and in ruins. The vanished
colonists left no hint of their fate save
the word "Croatan" carved on a tree.
From that tragedy have grown many
legends. Some historians have taken
the view that the carved word on the

as meaning the Croatan Indians cap
tured the fort and carried the colonists
to their own villages far across Crotan
Sound.
A later legend had it that 100 years
afterward certain members Of the In
dian tribe found in the vicinity of Cape
Hatteras had blue eyes and light COM
pleXionS. The inference was that they
were descendants of the captive colonists
who had interbred with their captors.
But none Of the stories ever were
substantiated and the lost colony" went
down in history as the first unsolyed
mystery concerning the English speaking

Way of an Eagle

Birds which are most faithful to
their nesting places are golden
eagles and buzzards. These birds
have the queer habit of building
two nests, or eyries, in the same
locality. often not more than a mile
apart. Both nests are visited and
repaired each spring. and the birds
don't make up their minds until the
last minute which they will use.
Some eagles nests have been used
for scores OF years-eyen perhaps
for a century-and they grow to
an enormous size. Each pair OF
eagles, II unmolested, hunt across &
certain territory which, by bird law,
seems to belong to them. They do
not invade the hunting ground Of
other eagles.
