BRITAIN. STARTS BUILDING
WORLDS FASTEST WARSHIP

Clydebank, Scotland, WP)-
Work has begun on Great Brit
ian's $30,O0O,O00 battleship, des-
tined to be the fastest in the
world.
The frames which will intersect
the lower sections of the vessel
were electrically welded, and prep
arationS made on a berth for the
keel. 1t will be numbered No. 554
and will be constructed in the
shadow of the Queen Mary's sis
ter ship, No. $50.
Although weighing $4,000 tons,
it will be bigger than any ship of
similar weight, as electric Welding
will displace rivets in all sections,
thus reducing weight. 1t will be
the fastest battleship in the world
and will provide employment for
5000 men for six years. a special
power station is being erected for
welding.

alton of their countrymen
and if Washington is No. l
American then Lincoln is in
evitably No. 2.
AS for No. 3, two names
are pretty certain to come to
your mind and you'll find it
difficult to choose between
them for this honor. But it's
not likely that anyone will
seriously dispute your choice
if you give that place to
either Benjamin Franklin or
Thomas jefferson and assign
No. 4 place to the other.
No. S? All, here's where you're
going to have difficulty in decid-
ing and even after you do, how
many people do you think you
can find who will agree with you?
If, from the other 36 possibilities
you should decide to name the
man who guided this nation
through the greatest war in his
tory, your choice will have the
support of man who is regarded
as something of an authority on
American greatness.
He is DR.. Dumas Malone, di-
rector of the Harvard University
Press, and among the reasons
for calling him an authority are
these facts: q.
Back in 1922, at the suggestion
of DR.. Frederick Jackson Turner,
one of the leading historians of
the country, the newly-organized
American Council of Learned So
cieties, composed of members
from various colleges and uni
sites, decided to sponsor the
compilation and publication of
number of volumes of American
biography which would be the
'1ast word in this field. To ac-
complish this meant at least 10

NOT IN THE BOX SCORE:


ID LIMO CARNERA has written to
a close friend that he is cOnsid-
ering returning to this country as
a wrestler. Judge Lands favor
lite dish is Spanish bean soup. He
refuses to talk about it but wealthy
friends insist that Bill Terry's dear
est ambition is to be president and
part owner of the Brooklyn baseball
club. One success secret of
Jockey Harry Richards, who is rid
ing so many winners this year, is
that he never shifts his hands on
the reins. 1t also was a success
secret of Isaac Murphy, who prob
ably was the greatest American
jockey of all time, and is earnestly
recommended to those riders who
pester good horses by continually
fiddling with the reirs.
Fight Manager Jimmy Johnston,
Jr., is a candid camera addict. He
takes pictures of his babies daily. i.
Friends say Paul Schissler undoubt-
eddy would consider an offer to take
on college head football coaching
job. Schissler had an excellent rec
ord at Oregon State and, consid-
ering the handicaps under which he
worked, an even better one during
his two years with Brooklyn's pro-
gridders. American leaguers are
complaining about Bill Dineen, once
a great pitcher and umpire. They
say the veteran can't move and is
practically no umpire at all when
not behind the plate. If the Davis
Cup committee pairs Bobby Riggs
and Joey Hunt for the doubles
match against Japan it will be like
hitching dog and cat in tandem,
for they have just about that much
love for one another. Still, so far
as doubles ability goes, it would
be a good team and might prove as
successful as that celebrated, nom
speaking double-play combination
of Joe Tinker and Johnny Evers.
Bob Pastor boxing in California
gets cool S12,5OO for meeting Bob
Nestell, while waiting for Louis,
Schmeling and Braddock to settle

KOhlbecker, who once caught for
the Dodgers, now does swell job
as road secretary for the Cleveland
Indians. Lefty Weisman, Cleve-
land trainer, used to sell newspa-
pers in Boston and pal around with
a young Red Sox pitcher named
Babe Ruth. The New York State
Athletic commission should give
more work to the very able young
referee, frankie Fuliam. James
Corrigan McCarty is on the third
freshman crew at Yale. The first

Giants to Dish Out
Lots of Hard Luck
Before Season Ends
g New York Post.-wNU Service

DROBABLY the other National
L League clubs knew it all
along, but no matter. 1t will do no
harm-and, incidentally, will be a
big help in getting this piece started
to remind them to avoid black cats,
putting hats on beds, walking under
ladders and other innocent seeming
yet dangerous pastimes this season.
The reason is the Giants. In spite
of occasional spring rumors to the
contrary there definitely will be no
need for the Cubs, Pirates and
Cards to saddle themselves with
extra jinxes just to be sure OF get
ting some competition when they
come to the Polo Grounds. Instead,
judged by what they have showed
thus far it is obvious that the league
titleholders are going to continue
furnishing more than enough hard
luck for all other contenders.
By that 1 do not mean that the
mere statistics of early season tri-
umphS over the SecOnd-diviSIon
Dodgers is proof that Bill Terry has
another pennant winner. l doubt that
he has, but it nevertheless is plain
that he does have just such club
as won two flags for him when bet
ter opponents faltered.

"Look! There's not a woman

''Why should there be Is states

did he rank Ulysses S. Grant

anyone "who wishes to do so

fact, throughout his article in
Harper's the Harvard professor,
who refuses to be dogmatic in
his selections except in the case
of the first five, offers the reader
suggestions for other substitu-
tons.

suggestion that "for the diver

Ochs, the late publisher of the
New York Times. 1t required
only one short letter and one in
terview to persuade him to fl
nance the undertaking and under
the direction of DR.. Allen john
son of Yale university the work
was started.
A Monumental Work.
One of the editors who joined
DR.. Johnson's staff in 1929 was
DR.. Malone, a native of Missis-
sippi and at that time profess
sor of history at the University
of Virginia. When DR.. Johnson
died two years later DR.. Malone
was chosen as his successor and
under his direction the Diction-
airy OF American Biography was
completed last year when the
twentieth volume was issued.
Characterized by competent crit
les as 'the greatest work of his
torical scholarship yet produced
in this country" the Dictionary
contains the biographies of 1858
Americans who, in the opinion
of DR.. Dumas and the 1000 BIZ
ographers who aided him in the
work, were important enough in
the history of our country to en-
title them to place in this per-
manent record.
Since DR.. Dumas Malone has
spent seven years of his life in
compiling such a record and in
that time has had an opportunity
to ponder much on the question
of what is greatness?" it would
seem that he can be safely re-
garded as an authority on the
greatest Americans. So one of
the first things he did after COM
pleting his editorship of the Die
tionary of American Biography
was to draw up a list of the 40
greatest Americans.
Then he wrote an article about
it which was printed in the April
issue of Harper's Magazine
and Immediately a great num-
Der of Americans who have their

safely dead, though enlivening
jokes about contemporaries need
not be discouraged"
His article ends with this
statement: cit is interesting to
speculate about an additional list
of immortals which might be
drawn up a generation hence. But
I do not propose any such specu-
lation to hostesses and their din
ner guests. In fact, I do not
even propose to them the max

Most-Dressed Women

Women of Nepal, in the Himal-
ava mountains, are said to be the
most dressed women in the world.
When they get costumed for an
afternoon function they wear a
dress composed of yards an d
yards of the sheerest muslin
sometimes as much as 100 yards
of it. The dresses are plated in
the form of a huge fan-shaped
bunch in front with the back tight
and plain. Every imaginable
shade is used-purple, pale green,
blue, carmine, orange, white, yell
low, turquoise and deep red.
