FOR COMFORT AT SEA
Seasickness and other discomforts of ocean travel
in stormy weather will be eliminated when the new gy-1
ro-stabilizer comes into general use.
This stabilizer, which is really a huge top made to
spin at high speed, has been developed to a practical
stage, and several have been ordered for installation in
new vessels. Undoubtedly time will see them installed
in setamers operating to Alaska.
The largest so far made weights 120 tons and its
rotor is capable of being spun at the rate of 930 revolu
tions per minute by means of a 200-horse-power motor.
It takes , an hour to get the rotor up to full speed, and
it will continue to spin for two hours after the power is
shut off*
Engineers say that a stabilizer of this size will pre
vent a 450 foot ship from rolling more than two degrees
in a heavy storm.
A new 45,000-ton Italian liner now being built will
have three huge gyro-stabilizers, it is understood, and
it is expected that this device will be adopted for use gen
erally in the finest ocean passenger ships of the future.
Stabilizers have been successfully used for some time on
yachts and other small craft, and it is believed that they
will be equally effective on the largest ships.
If expectations are realized ocean passengers of the
future may be able, regardless of the weather, to eat
their meals in comfort and, best of all, retain them after
they are eaten. j
Sir George Paish says the way to fight communism
is to make the world more proseprous; 120,000,000
Americans will agree with him.
The alleged “iceberg”—Alaska, which Secretary of
State Wm. H. Seward purchased from Russia for the U.
£., will one day feed the world with beef.
The Washington Monument, 555 feet high, must
look like a hitching post post beside the 1,250 foot office
building recently opened in New York by A1 Smith.
What Price
Prescription?
C<- •*'. rVi*
An investigator who had visited
3500 drug stores was present when
a druggist was being berated for
charging 85 cents for a prescription
which contained an expensive drug
and which took 40 minutes and ex
treme care to compound. His gross
profit was 35 cents. The same day
the druggist paid a glazier $1.25 for
putting in a pane of glass. Cost of
glass, 30 cents; time for putting it
in, 20 minutes.
dons they would hesitate to ques
tion the price of a prescription- The
druggist must spend years in college
and in training in order to learn
how to fill prescriptions. And to
be ready to fill them requires a
considerable investment.
