"Pooh!" answers the Transpor-

posing the project, "it'll take at
least until 1947 to enlarge the out
let, and by then Britain's shipping
emergency will be past"
Even so, argue the schemes pro-
ponents, it'll be, commercially
Speaking, a magnificent thing to
have, as a permanent deep water
way.
More than half the time, dis

ton. it'll be no such thing. except
to skate on; from November until
May it'll be frozen over. And it'll
cost considerably above a billion,
which is lot to pay for a skating
rink.
You fellows forget, reason pro-
poRents, when you say that Brit
aims emergency may be past by
1e47, that Uncle Sans got to have
a two-ocean navy from now on.
Well, we have yards at Cleveland
Lerain, Chicago. Superior, Buffalo,
River Rouge, Ashtabula, Toledo
and Manitowoc that, with a bit OF
enlargement, can turn out war
craft ad lib. But we'll have to get
them to salt water, and how are
we going to do it without an i'm
proved st. Lawrence waterway?
Opposition's Stand
Better build them right on our
salt water coasts, rejoin opponents.
That's where they everlastingly
will be subject to being bombed by
plane, insist proponents. On our
lake shores our plants won't be so
easy for potential enemy bombers
to get at. In short, this waterway
development is vital to our ma
tional defense.
American railroads naturally
aren't friendly to the waterway.
If there's transportation to be
done. they want to do it; not 70
have it travel by water.
Ports like New York don't like
the idea, either. Their preference
is to have our exports funneled out
through their harbors.
Neither is Buffalo enthusiastic. F.

point. Maybe Buffalo, upon due
consideration, might be reconciled
to the notion Of being transformed
into a huge shipbuilding center
(much larger than 1t is now, but
It isn't reconciled yet.
Possibly such lake ports as Du-
luth and Milwaukee don't particu-
larly care.
Chicago's uneasy, though. It's
afraid that down-the-St. Lawrence p
suction would adversely affect the
water level in that harbor and
maybe dry up its canal to the
Mississippi.

Circus Train Pauses
AT Potomac Yards,
Heads for New York
Animals Are Fost Asleep
As Long Line of Cars
Rolls Quietly Out

n Of-Ldl u dlll vi OllN AblAAtSAAAAD
Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus,
billed as the greatest show on
earth" yawned its way north out
of the dirt and darkness of the
Potomac Yards, between Washing
ton and Alexandria, Va, at 4
o'clock this morning
1t rolled through the smoke and
steam from sleepy locomotives and
took to the wind and flying cinderS
of the open road, making little more
noise than ghost train. Shut from
view inside were the clowns, the
fat lady, the elephants, lions,
peanut vendors and all that goes
to make up a circus. They were
as fast asleep as the thousands of
youngsters they will entertain be-
fore cold weather rings down the
curtain on the saWduSt trail next
fall
The halt here was for only 31a
hours, brief layoVer after the long
trip from the winter quarters at
journey is Madison Square Garden
where the show will open on April 9.
Animals Miss Feeding.
There was no uniformity in the
schedule of the circus train this
time. 1t was late arriving and un-
certain about leaving. This incon-
sistency may have been due to the
fact that, for the first time in the
memory of trainmen and others
interested in the subject, the ami
mails were not fed III the Potomac
Yards.
ShoWmen said cold weather was
the reason the nosehagS were not
passed around Each animal. it
was explained, must be exercised
for an hour or more to warm it up
before it is permitted to eat, and
the cold air which chilled the rail-
road yards before daylight may have
had dire results upon the health of
such valuable performers.
On the train when it rolled to a
stop on the outskirts of Washing
ton. was DR.. William NJ. Mann,
director Of the National Geological
Park. He had been to Sarasota to
get first-hand information on the
circus menagerie.
Circus Fans Greet Train.
Though the train was two and
half hours behind time. quite an
interested gathering of circus fol-
lowers was on hand in the post
midnight chill to greet it. Chief of
these-and one of the most well
come to the shoWmen-was Melvin
D. Hildreth, local attorney and
president of the Circus Fans Asso-
ciation
But the story was different when
the train prepared to leave.
The long string of fatcars load
ed with wagons and animals waited
as still as night on siding north
of the hump" in the railroad yard.
Water had been distributed through
the cars when the train arrived,
and then the giraffes. the anteaters,
the monkeys and the dozens of other
members of the show had quieted
down to await dawn.
A few minutes before 4 o'clock the
long, silvery string of coaches could
be seen coming slowly along the
track from the direction of -Four
Mile Run. They were dark and out
of pace with the single freight cars
that drifted speedily down from the
hump on parallel siding.
Part of Troupe Is Awake.
Only here and there the light
from a late card game gave evidence
that the entire circus troupe OF
hundreds of persons was not asleep.

owner.
