W. Coles, 2224 Vanderveer Place. St. Francis. College ADVERTISEMENT The performance of the Queen Mary In crossing the Atlantic In the time of four days, 12 hours and 24 minutes Indicates that she Is ble to break the speed record any time her owners think a new record is In order.

Saturday afternoon she was driving along, well on her way to set-; ting a mileage record for the sec- ond day. And then the fog, shipping's oldest enemy, closed in. The 200,000 horse-power engines were throttled down and for 10 hours the Queen Mary nosed her way through the fog, her whistle roaring out a warning every few minutes. Made Up for Lost Time But that fog, which cut nearly 100 miles from her day's run, only gave the new ship a chance to show what she could really do. Running at a speed that was unofficially said to have touched 35 knots at time, she more than made up for the lost time and reached Fire Island shear! jr of schedule.

ij And there she was slowed duwn. While passengers crowded the up-J per decks expecting to see a last minute spurt for the record she crept along at a 10-knot speed. One 1 more hour's steaming at normal speed and she could have coasted to a record. But the arrival had been set for ft scheduled time and much to the amazement of the passengers and the reporters on board it was discovered that the British really meant It when they said they were not trying for a record. Vibration No Factor Vibration, which has always been an unwelcome addition to giant liners in the past, will never cut down the Queen Mary's speed or cause discomfort to her passengers.

There Is vibration, of course, Just sis an outboard motorboat vibrates, but in the Queen Mary it will never be a serious factor. On her maiden voyage during the past five days it was more the noise of vibration than the actual feeling itself that attracted the attention of passengers. Open to Public Tomorrow The public will be admitted to the Queen Mary between 9 and 11 a.m. and between 2 and 4 p.m. tomorrow and between 9 and 11 a.m.

Thursday. Admission of $1 per person will be charged, the proceeds to be given to the Seaman's Church Institute. No tickets will be sold In advance and sightseers, It Is expected, will form long lines at the Cunard North River pier at Slst Manhattan, to purchase admittance. When the Queen Mary sails at 10 a.m. Friday, only two visitors will be admitted to the ship for each passenger.

In cases where husband wife sail togther the line has consented to issue four passes.
