1EEDF0RD II AIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD, OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27. 1935. PAGE FIVE E IS FOR MAIDEN TRIP Luxury Ship Gets Finishing Touches in Bid for Sea Supremacy Over French Decorators at Work GLASGOW (UP1 Greet Britain's new mlatreu of tbe sea Is being rushed to completion by 3,000 work-; men for it maiden voyage to New , York next May 27. j Tho 3,000 workers who go aboard each morning are only a part of the great army finishing and equipping the Cunard White Star liner. Queen Mary. Other thousands In factories are making 13 miles of fabric, six miles of carpets and rugs, 16.000 pieces of cutlery and tableware and 200,000 pieces of earthenware, china and glass. When the Queen Mary puts out to sea next spring it will bid for the glory which the French Line's Normandie took last spring. It is 11 feet shorter than the Normandie and lt 73,000 gross tonnage is slight ly less than that of Its French rival. ' The Queen Mary will carry the flag of the White Star line, replac ing the Majestic, largest Bhlp afloat until the Normandie was launched. Launched fn 1934 Since September, 1934, the finish ers have been working on the Queen Mary. It slipped down the ways with the blessings of King George and Queen Mary. . The 40.000-ton hull has been fill ed with luxury In the more than & year It has lain in the fitting harbor off the River Clyde. Fifty varieties of wood from over the world decor ate the principal suites and public rooms. Beautiful moslacs adorn the walls. Painting the great hulk's SO acres of surface will require 70,000 gallons of paint. When completed It will have a black hull, a white upper deck, and funnels of red with black tops and three black bands. The size of the ship is staggering. It Is 1.018 feet long, 34 feet longer than the Eiffel tower If It could be laid down beside It, 90 feet longer than the Lincoln memorial and the Capitol at Washington laid end to end. Any of the vehicular or rail road tunnels that carry New York's traffic under the Hudson river could be placed in any one of the three huge funnels of the Queen Mary. One of the promenade -decks is twice the length of the facade of Bucking ham palace. Equipped With Double Hull A double hull extends 40 feet up the side of the ship. There axe 160 air-tight compartments between the outer hull and the inhabited hull. The huge power plant of the Queen Mary is built for speed and smooth operation, designed to elim inate vibration. For geared turbines will drive the four propellors. Al ready some of the oil furnaces have been fired, for the long and tedious breaking-in of the .gigantic engines. Huge electric generators will pro vide current sufficient for a city of 300,000 population. Commanding the new superllner when It satis May 27 will be Capt. Sir Edgar Britten, R.D., R.N.R., pres ent commander of the Berengaria and commodore of the Cunard White star fleet. He is a veteran of 40 years with his apprenticeship served on a barque that rounded Cape Horn on each voyage. The Queen Mary is not expected to try for a new Atlantic record un til its second voyage scheduled June 17. Then It will try to better the record of four days, three hours and 13 minutes set by the Normandie on Its maiden voyage when it docked In New York last June 3. life Boat Record Claimed Already the Queen Mary claims a new record for launching Its life boats. A 7', -ton lifeboat loaded with 22 tons of pig Iron, equivalent of the weight of 136 persons, was launched In 64U seconds, nearly two seconds better than the Normandle's time. The ship is a floating city. There Is a drugstore, a fire department, many salons and bars, and a tele phone exchange that will make con nections with any section of the civ ilized world. There Is a radio trans mitting station with four large transmitters, capable of maintaining continuous communication with both sides of the Atlantic through out the voyage, operating on 32 wavelengths t1 using nine separate aerial systems. Rough seas will not affect the superllner. Its builders declare. It has reserve power sufficient to maintain It speed through any weather. The Queen Mary, most majestic and regal of Great Britain's years of maritime production, is more than Just another ship to proud Britons it Is their hope to wrest from France the ribbons and trophies of glory for the finest and fastest ship afloat.

(UP) The way 18-year-old Josephine Gardens looks at it, Mrs. Alice Hayden. 23, "took it like a good sjort." Josephine had nothing but praise for Mrs. Hayden, mother of a two-year-old girl, who commit tted sulclic yesterday when her husband told her he lovd Josephine. Mrs. Hayden had asked him to choose between them in a spangle bedecked living-room m which the lights of a Christmas tree oast a soft glow over all. Hayden chose Josephine and his wire went into her baby's room and shot her self. Josephine wouldn't criticize Mrs. Hayden in any way. (lest Wo iimn wins. "It was Just a case of may the best woman win," was the way she sum med It up at the coroner's inquest today. She was wearing an imitation fur coat Hayden gave her. "She took ,Jt like a good sport," Josephine continued, adjusting a half veil that ended at her nose. "She said, "All right, if that's the way it Is, I won't stand In your way. It's no use .'

W VO )WW I B0MflBT YOURS X-X4 : DOCTORS RESTORE! VIRILITY OF MEN BY NEW TECHNQiUE Tightening of Muscles Proves Effective in Nine Out of Fourteen Cases No Grafting Process Used By pan Rogers (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK. Dec. 27. (UP) A delicate new operation developed in experiments at New York hospital restored virility to nine out of 14 men who previously were impotent, It was revealed tonight. The modern "foun tain of youth." described simply as a tightening of muscles, was said to be effective In two types of cases those where impotency is caused by Injury, or in particular Instances, by ad vancing years. The operation was described by Dr, Oswald Swinney Lowsley, a member of the hospital staff, department of urology. The technique, still in tho experimental stage, was developed In the department of experimental sur gery at New York hospital. Tried On Dogs After successful experlpientntion on dogs, tho operation was tried on 14 men, whose ages ranged Irom 22 to 66 years. Some had not led the phys ical life of young manhood for years. "The results were perfect in nine cases,' Dr. Lowsley said. The operation consists of tighten ing of muscles through the use of chromic ribbon gut, and It does not Include any process of grafting or In troduction of foreign tissue Into the body of the subject. Dr. Lowsley de scribed It In these words: "The ribbon gut Is used to tighten the bulbocavernosus muscle over the corpus spongiosum by application from side to side, two or even three sutures being used. The lschlocnvorn osus muscle on each side Is similarly treated. "The operation has been performed upon 14 men whose ages were 22. 20, 31, 33. 38, 39. 40. 42. 45, 47, 58, 63, 65 and 66 years respectively."

"The operation must be skillfully performed," Dr. Lowsley said, "with Just the right amount of shortening of the muscles to accomplish the de sired result." If the muscles are too tight, he ex plained, pain will result; if not tight enough, the rejuvenation will not be accomplished. Tho operation Is too new, Dr. Lows ley was careful to point out, to de termine how long the rejuvenation may be expected to continue. But the operation, even though still in the experimental stage, stands as an Im portant new weapon pointing the way for specialists to restore virility, he said.
