Melvin Vaniman floated his alrship

the Atlantic Ocean, out of the
hangar early today and after cir

for nearly an hour made safe
landing. After he had the great
gas bag again safely slowed away
in the shed he expressed himself as
satisfied with the test.
The ship is the same in which he
made a flight over the city last fall,
with improvements. During the
trip he met with slight accident
which might have proved disastrous,
Very few persons saw the fight,

ors of the ship.
Vaniman had been out half an
hour when the accident occurred.
The dirigible had performed splen-

of the navigator instantly. Then he
tried out new guide rope expert

pound weight attached was lowered
and permitted to drag in the water
In some manner Calvin Vaniman
made a wrong move with the pro-
pellers. The middle blade in the
string of three caught in the trail

the under-strufture went under
water, damaging one of the side
planes.
When temporary repairs had been
made the balloon went aloft once
more. Faniman had difficulty in
controlling the balloon. His young
brother, while the craft was 500
feet above the water, clambered out
TO the end of the slender propeller
shaft, 90 feet from the side of the
dirigible, to adjust the damaged
propeller.
Vaniman finally had everything
ship-shape and after circling over
the bay for short time, pointed
the ship toward the hangar and
made a perfect landing.

was the message received yesterday
from Mayor Parsons. If we don {
win out it will not be due to any
failure on the part of the mayor

aid from the government and if the
plea fails, the individual members of
the committee will suffer greater
personal disappointment than any
other persons concerned In the sue

Congress has been almost mig
gardly In its treatment OF the flood

in lending financial aid to the
stricken districts. nor should there
be an haggling over figures. Ads
