VANIMAN BALLOON
WAS DEFECTIVE
Expert Says Gas Exhaust
Was Located Over the
Engine Exhaust.

Atlantic City, \. J.. July 13-The
explosion of the gas envelope of Mel
vim Vaniman's airship here on July 2,
which caused the death of its crew of
five men, was due not to the action of
the suns rays as at first appeared. but
to a fault in construction, which al
lowed the expanding gas to exhaust di-
rectly over the exhaust of the propeller
engines, thus igniting it. This is the
conclusion reached by Charles Hillman
an expert who has just concluded an
investigation. Mr.. Hillman made an
examination of the balloon on June Is,
and one Of the first things that struck
his notice was the arrangement of the
six exhaust valves in the gas en-
velope by means of which the gas.
when it began TO expand was allowed
to escape This was Mr.. Vaniman's in
vention to prevent accidents. These
valves, according TO Mr.. Hillman, were
placed three on each side of the en-
velope in a horizontal line slightly on
the lower side of the bag. -Four of the
valves, he said. were located directly
over the exhaust of the propeIlers. Con-
seouenuy when any one of the valves
was opened, the rush Of air would
quickly come into contact with the ex-
haust and the hydrogen would ignite it
This theory. Mr.. Hilman thinks is
borne out by the fact that one of the
exhaust valves. which has been found
was smoked showing signs of the ex-
plOSion.

Sauer Kraut Makes You Live Longer

Americans formerly called saurkraut de

this term, unflattering though it is, is not
misapplied- But the very same thing that

Sauerkraut, like sour milk, contains GER

We know what happens in a house il

everybody in the house is liable to contract
typhoid OF some other fever. The digestive
organs perform the same functions in the
human body as the plumbing does for the

Not only serious diseases, such as typhoid
and malarial fevers, are due to an inspired

human body, are due to the same cause. A
