Many old-style Chinese boats
have had eyes painted on the front
or prov. and a Chinese once ex-
planned this by saying If boat no
have eyes, 1t no can see"
Perhaps 1t was the same idea
which led some of the ancient
Greeks to decorate their boats with
eyes. The eyes were of large size
being more than q foot wide in
certain cases. With an eye on each
side Of the prov, the front Of the
boat looked rather like the head of
swimming animal. -
The rivers In Greece played only q
small part in the country's commerce
in ancient times. Thousands of
miles of sea coast were within easy
reach Of the people and their boats
were used chiefly for sailing on the
sea.
With passing time the Greeks
ended the old custom of painting
eyes on thek vessels. Yet they cut
holes in the sxme places. veil above
the water line. and passed anchor
ropes through the holes.

The goddess Athena was supposed
to give special help to Athens. This
led sailors from that city to carry
small statues of Athena aboard
their vessels. They believed. the
goddess might tell the gods of the
sea to keep storms from raging
while they were sailing.
Most of the sailing in those days
was done within easy distance of the
coast. The sailors feared storms SC
much that they wanted to keer
within range of land.
/. Yet the Greeks did at times brave
the dangers Of the open sea. Some
Of them sailed far to the west and
passed through the Gates of Her
cules Then they went northward te
Britain, crossing an edge Of the
Atlantic. The same deed had beer
performed by other ancient sailors
the Phoenicians.
The sides Of Greek vessels haG
holes for two or more rows Of oars
When there were several rows, the
lowermost oars appear to have been
about feet long. Tha6esnext above
were about 10 feet long and in the
third row they were about 13 feet
long.

South won with the jack.
South realized that East's bid had
shown possession Of the. ace Of

be knocked out before . diamond

would be cleared and could be run
when East got the lead In spades.
South therefore Immediately play.

East won 1t and cleared the heart
suit, South would then simply have
played another spade and made his
contract with three spade tricks,
two hearts, two diamonds and two
clubs.
As it happened, East chose to
duck, whereupon South cleared the
diamond suit by ducking the second
round, and had nine tricks with

Not The Principle

Nine hundred flying instructors i've al
ready been cut loose by the Civil Aeronautics
Administration, another 1000 are expected to
be out by June 80. A similar number now
studying to be instructors may wind up with
nobody to teach.
All this is reason enough for the House
committee investigating Civil Service to take
close look at the Women's Air Force Serv-
ice Patrol training program: 500 receiving in
struction, 500 signed up and ready. The girls
ferry planes, tow targets, etc. It seems fool
ish to pay for their training when experienced
men pilots, unfit for combat service, are be-
ing turned off,
It isn't the principle Of the thing. It's a
matter of &c. $780, 900 for WASP training.

Business For All Three

Railway Age bemoans the fact that while
there is great discussion and activity in Of
fetal Washington for further development OF
aviation and highways little or no attention
is being given the nations railways, and 1t
is true that rail systems are not receiving
help in proportion to their Importance or the
tremendous job they do in Transporting armed
forces and supplies far beyond their normal
and in many cases their safe capacity. Many
of the wrecks that have come during the war
period have been traceable to overworked and
exhausted crews or outworn and unreplaced
equipment.
But we are convinced that Railway Age is
unduly alarmed over the position the rail-
ways will occupy in the postwar world. No
amount of thought and planning for expan-
sion of highways and anyways can relegate
them to the scrap heap. There will be enough
business for all three transportation methods
for many years to come. There is freight
that neither trucks nor airplanes can trans
port. There are more passengers than buses
and planes can accommodate 1t may be
necessary for economic reasons to do away
with competitive parallel rail lines. But this

Farm Planting

The Department of Agriculture's tabulations
on what farmers intend to plant in 1914, in
dicate that the so-called guaranteed support
prices failed to coax them into seeding, more
oil crops such as soya beans, peanuts, flax
seed or dietary standbys such as peas, beans
and potatoes. Flax paintings for linseed oil
are down sharply. Apparently increased acre
age will go into feed grains because of short
age of livestock feed last year.
Failure of farmers to 60 along on some
of the War Foods programs" says Business
Week, sis due to fear that there will be too
few hands and new machines. Dairy product
needs cannot be met; milk output for months
has consistently been behind year-ago levels. "
Farming has long been hi professional
'fixer's' plaything. Let us hope that it is
not thrown too far off center by the theories
of Thine parlor cowhands.
