OF I
Normandie Striking Con
trast to Tree Trunk of
First Savage Rivalry
Helps Speed Development
WASHINGTON, D. O. (Bpaclal)
When the Normandie, largest ship
float, steamed into New York har
bor, another thrilling chapter waa
written In maritime history.
Her quick crossing from Havre to
New York, her air-cooling system.
Illuminated glass decoration, im
mense swimming pool and scores of
other outstanding features will sat
isfy the modern traveler's craving
for speed, size and luxury.
"In every age, ships have mirrored
the culture of their era," saya a
bulletin from the Washington, D. 0.
headquarters of the National Geo
graphic society.
Slaves Propelled Ancient CJnlley
"It's a far cry from the stream
lined Normandie to what wm prob
ably the first boat, a tree trunk to
which a savage olung. Transitions
from a log, to a dugout canoe, to a
boat made of planks calked with
pitch were made early In civilization.
Soon armored Vikings In thetr sturdy
boats of riveted, overlapping - oak
timbers rode the green combers of
stormy, northern seas, and the oars
of long, low galleys flashed In the
sunny Mediterranean. Many of the
galleys scudded along under a square
sail, but they were propelled chiefly
by the efforts of weary slaves. Galley
slaves persisted a late as 1830. when
captives still manned the ships of
Bar bury pirates.
"The Phoenicians, first sailors to
explore the full length and breadth
of the Mediterranean, modified the
galley. Afraid of being swamped by
following seaa breaking over It, they
raised the stern of the craft.
"During the Middle Ages, the de
sire to travel longer distances led to
the abandonment of oars for the
crowded sails of the Spanish and
Portuguese galleons. In galleons, the
high stern reached exaggerated
heights. These picturesque but clum
sy craft were built primarily to
transport large quantities of gold and
other precious spoils, not for speed.
FlRhtlng Ships Painted Red
"Built for rougher waters and to
chose fleet schools of fish, northern
boats were sturdier and swifter.
Some of the boats which darted like
wasps around the ponderous Spanish
Armada were the small, fast boats of
Sngllnh fishermen.
"Since the time of Alfred the
Great. England has maintained a
navy to protect her from attacks by
aea. That the King's ships meant
business is shown by the fact that
until the end of the 18th century,
their Interiors were painted red to
make the bloodshed In naval battles
less obvious.
"After Vasco da Gama sailed
around the Cape of Good Hope fifwl
reached the Malabar const, fleetri of
East Indlamen began sailing ovV to
India. The ships carried 30 p.- 30
guns, were massive and rathur slow.

"Ships built to run to the West
Indies, on the other hand, were fas
ter, because they carried what cyni
cal captains referred to as 'perishable
cargoes' fruit, and slaves packed in
'spoon-fashion1 below decks. Trade In
slaves, opium, and tea, as well as
gold rushes, led to rivalry among
American and English shipyards in
building large, fast sailing ships.
These found their climax in the clip
per ships, the first of which was
built In Baltimore about 1830. Most
of the clippers from New England
shipyards carried tea from China,
gold seekers to Ban Francisco and
Australia.
Dramatic Races on Mlsslnnlppl
'With the opening of the Suez
canal and the growing use of steam
boats, the popularity of clipper ships
waned. In 1807, Robert Pulton's Cler
mont steamed up the Hudson at five
miles an hour, while a man on Its
deck ran about listening. Wherever
hiss told of escaping steam, hi
stopped up the leak with molten
lead. By 1818, steamboats reached the
Oreat Lakes, and by 1832 they moved
up the westernmost tributaries of
the Missouri, carrying passengers In
to the great Northwest. Fueling these
wood-burning boats was a problem,
as cottonwood trees near the banks
made poor fires, and to saw wood in
land meant risking attacks by In
dians. "In the latter part of the 19th cen
tury, over 2.000 steamboats regularly
plied the Missouri, Mississippi and
Ohio rivers. From I860 until the
Civil war the winding reaches of the
Mississippi resounded with splashing
paddle-wheels. Rivalry was Intense
between passenger steamboat cap
tains, who engaged In rsces as dra
matic as those between clipper ships.
Steamboats dashed past ench other,
furnaces stuffed with tar and resin
ous wood belching flames that lit up
the night skies. In one famous race,
when fuel gave out, stateroom parti
tions, benches, and even fine furni
ture fed the boiler fires of the win
ning ship.
"Although primarily a sailing pack
et that used Its sails most of the voy
age, and steam only part way, the
American ship Savannah is general
ly credited with being the first
-steamship to cross the Atlantic. In
IU. wake came a long line of ocean
going liners built In rapid succession
and culminating in the present crown
of modern maritime achievement, the
Normandie."

SALEM, July 18. (AP) Opposi
tion to the proposed milk Inspection
ordinance for the city of Portland,
in which costs for the work would
be assessed against the dairyman,
was voiced today by Solon T. White,
director of agriculture.
The ordinance proposes the state
department of agriculture make the
Inspections for which fees would
range from 95 to 9100 a year for
grade B milk producers, depending
upon the distance from Portland
the milk is brought.
White stated the ordinance was
111 -advised, and adds that while he
does not desire to take part In af
fairs outside his own department, he
feels that dairymen "are overbur
dened with financial responsibilities
and Inspections and why single out
the most defenseless class and ask
them to contribute special funds
toward a work which Is not for
thetr benefit."

JAPANESE TRADE
Semi-Of f icial Newspaper
. Sees Land of Milk and
Honey Awaiting Civiliz
ing Work of Europeans
ROME. July 18. (AP) As Italy's
army masses In east Africa, the semi
official publication "L'Azlone Colo-
nlale" (Colonial Action) calls Ethi
opia a land of tremendous wealth.
ripe for development by the "civili
zation work of the European."
The Azlorie Colonlale has found In
a survey of Ethiopia's potential
wealth these resources:
Rich pasture for Innumerable herds:
fertile land suitable to the cultiva
tion of wheat, oats, flax, bananas,
cotton and coffee: forests; gold, plat
inum, mica, coal, cinnabar, Iron, cop
per petroleum, potassium and rock
salt.
These resources have not been de
veloped, the Azlone Colonlale report
ed, because of the reluctance of the
population of the highlands to do
hard work, diffidence of the natives
toward enterprising strangers and
lack of communications.
While acclaiming the riches of
Ethiopia, the Azlone Colonlale at the
same time expressed uneantpss at
the penetration of the rich region by
Japanese commerce. The paper's sur
vey estimated 70 to 75 per cent of
Ethiopia's Imports In the fiscal year
1932-1933 were Japanese.
Stating that Japan accompanies
her economic work by cunning dip
lomatic action, the Rome publication
added:
"Ethiopia and the Red sea have
constituted and constitute for Eu
rope too sensitive a point for the dip
lomats of the empire of the rising
sun to overlook. They have taken
care to lay the bases, however small,
for the day In which a great war
might break out.
"Ethiopia represents Eden. It rep
resents the route to the Orient which
to Japan ts necessary for her defense
and for eventual offense. Mussollrl
has foreseen this danger and launch
ed the warning to European states
to call a truce to petty rivalries and
unite against the common danger." 1
