PRESIDENT BELL
TALKS AIRSHIP
Head of American Security
and Trust Company Visits
Cousin.
INVENTOR HARD AT WORK
Prof. Alexander Graham Bell Hopes to
Solve Problem of Aerial
Navigation.

Charles J. Bell. president Of the
American Security and Trust Com
pany. recently spent two weeks at the
home Of his cousin, Prof Alexander
Graham Bell, the inventor, who is now
prominent in the public eye as the in
ventor Of an airship, by which he hopes
to solve the problem OF aerial naviga-
ton. Mr. Bell spent considerable time
studying the curious mechanism OF the
unique dying machine, and contends
that it is a masterful piece Of work. In
discussing the invention and its great
possibilities, Mr.. Bell said,
In the construction of the massive
kite-shapcd airship. Prof Bell has eN-
pended much study and labor. He has
already perfected the frame Of the ma
chine. but is still delving deep into
the problem incident to the construc-
ton OF a motor Of sufficient size and
lIghtness with which TO propel II when
soaring through the air. The principal
necessity in connection with the crea-
tfon OF this motor, Prof. Bell contends
is 10 construct il so that il may have
