COMFORT ON OCEAN LINER

CABINS OF NEW CUNARDEB COSTLY’ EXPERIMENTS ASHORE 1 A cii-tlv experiment, but one that is expected to prove worthy of the exI pcnsi’ and trouble, is being carried out in connection with the construction of 1 tho mammoth Cunard liner ‘‘s34” which is to be launched next month—to ensure the comfort of passengers Sixteen full-sized cabins, replicas of those on board, are being built on shore and tested on a variety of com fort-loving people who have been invited by the Cunard Company. The staterooms are being set up in an attractive section of the Clyde Rivet shipyard of the builders. The cabins will be taken care of by regular bedroom stewards, each room having hot and cold water, electric heaters and fans, . all appurtenances necessary to the well-being of up-to-date steamship accomodation. Every type from the super-luxury suite to the third-class room for two, three and four will be built and thoroughly tested. Not a detail is ‘omitted, even tho walls will slope tn the degree that the great superliner s sides will slope. When the ginnt vessel is launched tho King will pronounce the name of the ship and then press an electric button, which will start the liner down | the ways into the Clyde River.
