SQUAT LINER'S SPEED MARK SEE SECURE FOR 4 YEARS ould take four years to bulld a ship which might threaten her trans-Atlantio speed mark. Captain Nicolaus Jchnson (inset) commands the liner. By HARRY P. KELLIHER (A. P. Staff Writer) NEW YORK, May 1.—Bon voy- age ‘has come to mean fast and Snappy. ‘The speed spirit of the age has been extended to the once leisure business of transatlantic travel, and Germany flaps the fleetest wings. The Bremen last summer smashed the long-standing record of the British Mauretania, and three | |months later bettered her own mark. | The Europa on her recent maiden {trip improved by 18 minutes the |best time of her giant sister. The jEuropa's 3,100 mile voyage from | Cherbourg breakwater to Ambrose lightship outside New York har- |bor was accomplished in 4 days, 17 |hours, 6 minutes, an average speed of 27.86 knots. In the wards of Captain Paul | Koenig, former submarine com mander and now marine superin tendent for the North Germar Lloyd line, those 18 minutes savec the 50,000 ton Europa from being “just another boat.” Proud engineers of the Europa say that competitors would require four years to place a new fast {steamship in the North Atlantic -|trade, and until then the Bremen or the Europa would not be forced beyond 285 knots, although each has done better than 20.1. Engi- neers have sald that with engines broken in and more moderate weather both ships would do 30 {knots, more than 35 land miles an | hour. When the Bremen and the Eu- ropa set speed records, the world began to ask: “What are the others going to |do?” The answer 1s nothing—for the present. The White Btar line has defer- |red work on the Oceanic, projected {at a cost of §25,000,000. | Other proposed vessels, save the | Oceanic, are not beyond the paper |stage. Meanwhile the N. G. L claims 94 per cent of its pre-war tonnage. At that time the Levia- ithan was the Vaterland, the Beren- |garia the Imperator, and the Ma- |jestic the Bismarck—all German boats SIAMESE TWINS IN FROGS MADE BY SCIENTISTS IOWA CITY, May 1—Twins are produced at the University of Iowa | by a surgical operation which grafts two young animals together as | Siamese twins or other combina- tions hitherto unknown. This grafting is done only on alimals of a low order, principally tadpoles and newts. Its purpose is to show certain relations between the sexes, particularly the domi- nance of male over female charac- teristics. Making these strange twins is reported to the American Associa- tion for the Advancement of Sel- ence by Prof. Emil Witschi of the university's department of zoology. ‘The operation is called parabiosis. “The animal may be united side by side so that they appear like Siamese twins or one behind the other, forming chains,” Professor Witschi says. “Often in parabiosis only one ani~ mal will feed. Nevertheless its co-twin grows at the same rate, proving that the latter recelves an abundant food supply throygh the establishment of blood connec- tions. If the two animals of & pair are of the same species they T BCEEALTD R R AN means, in this shop, Just exactly what the dictions ary sayseoeo “THE ART OF PRINTING"” The same care, the same thought, the same exact- ness of balance, harmony of eolor and choice of me- diums is used by us on a piece of printed matter that the artist uses when be is painting a picture, Tue completed work is & real piece of art, pl | totheeye, easy toread yacht is said to be largest pleasure craft in the world. ;row and differentiate at the same -ate.

They normally take four months for development, but they | cut this time in half when “twin- ned” with wood frogs, which have a faster growing period. : Professor Witschi finds definite dominance of male over femaie ‘elements.
