What smooth. happy world

On the contrary, to take life

thing to do. And yet an over
Whelming majority of us fall far
below that standard of human
conduct and endeavor. Why?
Largely because we are perVerse,

Of interest on the part of the American
people have made the work OF the Signal

made this year for aeronautical work, and

The flights at Fort Myer last week with
the motor balloon are preliminary to the
aeroplane tests and other trials which
will be held later in the season. While
ii is the most improved airship in this
country, the army dirigible is far behind
those of Europe and can be considered
nothing more than training ship or .
toy. 1t will be used TO familarize the
officers of the aeronautical division of the
Signal Corps in the handling of motor
balloon and to accustom them to the
vagaries of the air. In the event of war
with another country the United States
could place little dependence in this small
airship, but it is beginning which
should be followed up by the construc-
tion OF several ships or the Zeppelin type.
