SAYS PRICES ARE roo HIGH
Cardinal Gibbons Thinks "Scmethine
Is Evidently Wrong"

Washington, Jan. 18.-"Most Of the
prices of food products are clearly out
of all reason" said Cardinal Gibbons
in an interview, land the people can
not go on paying such prices when
they are NOT earning any mere than
they were some years ago when
prices were not SO high"
The cardinal was unable to assign
a reason for the high prices that pre-
vail, but he said something evidently
is wrong when many of the common
est necessities in food are priced at
such enormous figures. Something
must be done soon to put prices OF
food on a reasonable basis and any
method which will bring this about
endorse"

CAPT. BALDWIN
PLANS D|R|G|bLE
FOR LONG TRIPS
American Aeronaut Believes
Zeppelin's Airship Is Too Big
for Successful Flights.

MINEOLA, N. Y, June 24.-Count
zeppelin's feat of i~naugurating a pas
senger-carrying airship line may soon
be duplicated in the United States, il
the hopes of Captain Thomas S. Bald
win, who built the United States army
dirigible No. l, are fulfilled. Given the
necessary capital, Captain Baldwin is
confident that a fleet of d~irigibles could
be put into commission within three
months, to travel on a regular schedule
between New York and Chicago.
In spite of Zeppelin's success says
Captain Baldwin in an interview given
out today, Il still pin my faith on the
non-rigid type. BY this | mean the
balloon type, made of rubber silk. in
stead of an aluminium envelope with
many compartments. The bag mea-
surfing 100 feet would hold $4,000 cubic
feet of hydrogen gas in three COM
partments.
Personally, | think the first dirigible
to make the trip will be the smallest
in the world ever built for endurance
work. In my opinion. this craft will
not be over $50 feet long, and will be
driven by a so horsepower engine.
With such d ship, l could transport
six persons and their baggage from
New York to Chicago in thirty hours,
and | would be able to navigate in
winds up TO thirty miles an hour with
perfect safety. A craft of this kind
would not exceed in cost $50, 900, against
the $500. 900 which is the price of the
Zeppelin"
