AlRSHIP LANDING
FOR A CHURCH
Atlanta EdIfice to Have Roof
Available For AerOpIanes.
LARGE STAIRCASE TO THE TOP

Prominent Members Scheme to Ao-
commodate Communicates Sailing to
and From Services--How the Land
ings Should Be Lighted For Safety
of Aviators.
Anticipating that airships will be in
common, everyday usage twenty years
hence the board Of stewards OF the
Wesley Memorial church. in Atlanta.
an edifice rapidly nearing completion,
has adopted a motion snstructing the
building committee TO so arrange the
roof Of the building that there will be
no difficulty in adapting it to commodi-
Gus airship landings.
The committee was requested 10 see
to it TINT a large staircase shall run
all the way to the roof and that the
electrical wiring be so installed that
proper lights can be displayed about
the landings, with wire taps conven-
tent for recharging exhausted dry bat
teries
The, suggestion concerning the land
ings was made by Fred Miles, prom
inent member of the board of stew
ards. Mr.. Miles is the city electrician
and is thoroughly posted on scientific
matters in general.
He told the board that he firmly be-
lieved that within the brief space OF
twenty years the communicates Of the
church would sail to and from services
in airships. just as they now speed
there in automobiles.
Precautions at Landings.
He thought inasmuch as the church
was erecting structure that would
stand for fifty or hundred years it
should be modern in every respect and
that it was not stretching the imagina-
ton too far to prepare for airship land
ings.
MI Miles declared that about these
landings should be distributed red and
green lights. The green lights would
designate to the aviator where to alight
and the red ones would show him
where it was dangerous to descend.
The red lights would be placed about
the edges of the roof and the green
ones around the landing platforms.

John s. Ouden who was more serious
ly burned than Others. will undoubted-
Iy recover. Assistant Manager Brown
of the Fore River Co. said today that
the accident was not so serious as at
first reported. 1t consisted he said
only in the splitting of one Of the four
inch tubes for the length of seven and
one half inches. Although the group
of four boilers were temporarily drawn
out of commission the repairs were
soon made by rolling in new tubes.
The North Dakota's boilers are of
the water tube type. which locally linn
it's the effect OF the rupture and are
identical with those installed on her
sister ship, the Delaware.
