The Prospective
"World Beater”
(Special Air Mail Service)
London, Nov. 15.
If Moscow's latest hopes are realised, some of the world's boxing or Wrestling titles may presently fall to a Soviet champlor..
The prospective world-beater is known as "kin, the Human Crane." As the sobriquet suggests, he has hitherto displayed his prowess only i the industrial sphere.
Reports of Glikin's strength are astonishing. He can lift 2,000, and dally carries, loads of over 1,000lb..
He has been for years regularly employed under contract by Soviet Trusts to move machinery needing delicate handling.
Though he undertakes to do the work of at least five porters, Glikin is a costly "crane" To keep up his phenomenal strength he needs ten breakfast and ten dinner ra- tlons dally-when he can get chem.
Too Old At 377 Though Glikin has now been sent from Leningrad to Moscow for training in the ring, there is some doubt as to whether he is not too ald to begin a boxing on wrestling rareer. He is 37.
Yet he is anything but the bail- recked, muscle-bound glant one might expect. He is a normal. neatly bullt man in appearance, weighing only 13st..5lb.
Hitherto he has never dared to strike a man or give him a real squeeze for fear of killing him,
Like so many Russian pheno- mena. Glikin's strength, does not admit of any rational explanation. But it appears to run in the family. His two-year-old son already swings two heavy laundry dat irons round his head.
LORD HAIG
Memorial Window In Aldershot Church
(Special Air Mall Service)
London, Nov. 15.
A memorial window to Lord Haig will be unvelled in St. "An- drew's Garrison Church, Aldershot, on Sunday, November 18, by the Duke of York, who is Earl of In- verness and, Honorary Colonel of the 4th (Territorial) Battalion, The Cameron Highlanders. The Rev. Dr. Archibald Fleming. of St. Columba's, Pont Street, Loa- don, will dedicate the window, which is -to be in the chancel. The cost has been defrayed by money raised in Scotland, largely from officers and men of the Scottish "divisions who fought in the Great War. Lady Halg will attend the service.
Mr. W, J. R. Cook, of Edinburgh, is the artist, and his final design has been passed by the memorial committee, advised by Sir D. Y. Camerpa. The subject of the window is the supreme sacrifice of British soldiers as symbolized by the crucifixion of Christ, which occupies the central part. At the base of the Cross "the mother mourns her Son, while a second woman prays and a disciple, set- fing out to carry on the work of
This group represents the country Christ, endeavours to comfort both. mourning her dead and preparing to carry through the cause for which the men died, that their death should not be in vain.
War Scenes
At the base of the window, sur- rounded by the names of battles of the Great War, are the arms of Lord Halg, with crown, helm, crest, and supporters, and the Order of the Thistle underneath. Springing from behind the scroll of battle names is the Tree of Life, which encircles a mourning Scottish soldier kneeling on the poppy-covered grave of a comrade

The alternative route is by the West Coast of Africa. It is 1,000 miles shorter, but runs over the Sahara Desert and uninhabited jungles of the Belgian Congo:

There is now Thornycroft petrol and heavy oil engines suitable as power units for internal combustion callcars, air compressors, electrical gene:- ators, 'power crushers and mixers, also engine conversions of either their own or other chassia, In every case a great deal of exper- lence has been earned with these engines in road vehicles, and, in the case of their 4-and 8-cylinder compression ignition units, they have been the basis of two marine productions which have seen ser- vice with many satisfied users. This in itself is a particularly strong point in their favour wher It is remembered that in marine work absolute rellability and the ability to work for extended per- ads at very nearly full throttle "are the characteristics most re-
quired.
The designs have been prepared by Mr. Percy Metcalfe, the heads of the King and Queen on the obverse after special sittings granted to the artist by their Majestles.

For industrial power purposes. the case of their 4-and 6-cylinder or without clutch and gear box and in each fase electric starting can be provided.
Dynamos suitable for starter battery charging only, or alter- natively, for larger outputs, ac- cording to the size of the engine can be supplied if desired.
In connection with railcar work, Thornycrofts recommend their 6- cylinder units in connection with the following different types of transmissiori.
A single plate clutch and gear box.
(b) A Vulcan-Sinclair hydrau-
ic fluid flywheel, type of coupling used in conjune- tion with a "normal gear box. (c) A
Voith-Sinclair Turbo Converter and coupling. This unit is a torque con- verter in the truest sense and displaces both ordin- ary clutch and gear box.
In connection with (c) the fol- lowing outstanding advantages are made possible:-

1. The drive is
from start to Anish; thereby rapid acceleration can be obtained.
2. There is no vibration due to gear changing to cause passengers "discom- fort. Also the life of all working parts is consider- ably increased. 3. Control 1s
exceedingly simple and almost fool- proof.
4. The engine and Turbo Converter can be placed in the chassis to suit other accommodation require-
ments.
5. The use of a Büld coupling in preference to one of the rigid type at cruising speeds, Le, when the Con- verter is out of action, prevents shock due to rail unevenness being trans- mitted to the engine and other transmission parts.
At the present time Thornycroft engines are being installed for rail- cars in South America and Po- land, and also for air compressor work in London,"
