With the greatest reconditioning job in maritime history now nearing its final stages, the world's largest passenger liner, Cunard's 83,763-ton Queen Elizabeth, is being prepared to launch the .career postponed by war for more than six years. ; . Transformed into a new ship, the Queen Elizabeth will make her maiden voyage starting regular service from Southampton to New York on Octo- ber 16. The return voyage from New York is scheduled for October 25. The gray war paint that shrouded the ship when she slipped across the Atlantic in March, 1940, on the first of many vital war missions, has been replaced by the colors of peaceshiny black hull, gleaming white superstructure, red and black funnels, colors of the Cunard line. Thirty tons of paint were required to cover the ship's million square feet of exterior surface. Decks worn by the tramp of 811,-000 811,-000 pairs of military boots have been relaid. Blackout paint has been scraped off 2,000 portholes. Miles of temporary wiring and piping have been dismantled. The ship has been stripped of such military appurtenances as 10,000 standee berths, temporary sanitary facilities, facili-ties, bulkheads, storerooms and troop fittings. The reconversion job began im mediately after the Queen Elizabeth completed her final voyage as a war transport last March 6. - - Now a luxury ship, the Queen Elizabeth will be furnished with equipment and decorations ordered or-dered and delivered before the advent of war, then stored In the United States, Australia and other places throughout the . world for the past six years. Fittings include 21,000 pieces of furniture and equipment, 4,500 settees, set-tees, 4,000 mattresses and pillows, 8,000 curtains and bedspreads, 2,000 carpets, 1,500 wardrobes and dressing dress-ing tables and 10 miles of carpets. As the final step in reconversion, the ship will enter the graving dock for examinations of the four propellers, propel-lers, each weighing 32 tons, the giant 140-ton rudder and other underwater un-derwater parts. One-way rates will start at $165 for tourist class, ranging up to $365 tor first class. One-man School Expands as Veterans Flock for Ratings DENVER, COLO. The traditional tradition-al old one-man school has been put on a wholesale basis here, giving giv-ing 2,318 veterans the equivalent of a high school diploma in the last 10 weeks. Operator of the school is a gray-haired, gray-haired, scholarly little man, Dr. John C. Unger, whose main job is that of superintendent of secondary education for Colorado. His present pres-ent task is to put into practical operation op-eration one of the primary guaranties guaran-ties of the G.L Bill of Rights the opportunity for each veteran to continue con-tinue his education. He has turned the senate chamber cham-ber of the state house into a school room with men and women of an average age of 21 sitting at senatorial sena-torial desks and doing harder thinking think-ing than most state senators ever do. In co-operation with the Veterans' administration and armed forces institute, in-stitute, Dr Unger interviews and tests veterans from all over the state to provide them with certificates certifi-cates showing they possess knowledge knowl-edge equal to a high school education. educa-tion. With such certificates, the veterans veter-ans go confidently to employers to apply for jobs or enroll in colleges to study anything from the ministry to aeronautical engineering. The two-hour tests in grammar, mathematics, science, literature and social studies are not required of all applicants. Credits are allowed for training received in the service. Oldest man to take the tests was a 47-year-old Trinidad naval veteran and the youngest was a 19-year-old Denver youth, who enlisted in the army when only 16. Dr. Unger tests men still in the service who come in from such posts as Camp Carson at Colorado Springs and Lowry Field in Denver. He has visited Fitzsimmons General hospital several times to examine patients there. Those who can't pass are given friendly counsel on what they need to study to qualify for certificates.

Wedding Drinks Tip Most Britons Off Wagon LONDON. Why do people take to drink? . Drinking toasts at weddings is the principal reason tor tipping a person per-son off the wagon, say Britons who like a quick one now and then. Teetotalers, however, say "not wishing to be different" is the hardest hard-est push off the wagon. Twelve hundred young people, including doctors, parlor maids, government clerks and miners, gave the answers to a questionnaire sent out by the British Temperance league. Tipplers gave these four main reasons rea-sons for their weakness: Toasting at weddings, loneliness, not wishing to be different and enjoyment of the drinking fraternity's company. AH the reasons were among 17 "possible causes" suggested by Herbert Jones, league secretary, who is a non-drinker. MOLOTOV WALKS OUT . . .
