‘The return to Edinburgh was made
under pleasanter conditions, sun-
shine replacing mist and snow. That
evening dinner was followed by one
of the m interesting and certainly
most discussed addresses of the tour.
This was the talk by Dr F. A. B.
Crew, Director of the Animal Breed-
ing Research Department, Edinburgh
University, who spoke on “Animal

ing—Some Scientifls Aspects.'!
Dr. Crew's address was remarkable,
hot only for the skill with’ which he
traced the discovery of sc’entific
laws and set forth the limitations of

j tended, had their beg’nnings in the

Some day the heat of the sun may

Giant Dirigible Flight Delayed

British Machine Will Not Be Ready
For Flight To Canada This
Year

The giant dirigible R-100, which
Great Britain is building in compett-
| tion with the German LZ-127, will not
fly to Canada and the United States
this year, Commander C. D. Burney
told the Associated Press.

Failure of contractors to deliver
parts on scheduled time and the ne-
cessity for extended trial flights have
caused postponement until next year.

Commander Burney said that the
| winter would be no deterrent to the
flight and if the R-100 is ready by
the early months of 1929 she will
make the flight by the southern
route.

Trial flights will take at least two
months and there is no chance of
their beginning before December.
