Uncle Harry Tells About Tie zeppelinS

to stop and sink enemy merchantmen
by dropping bombs on them. No. This
is what | have in mind: Ever since
we began to propel our warships by
steam. we have used fast cruisers to
do the scouting work. We have built
cruisers capable OF speeding thirty
miles an hour and better and assigned
to them the task of locating the en-
emy and reporting to the slower-mov-
ing fleet of battleships where the
enemy ships are. OF course. being
on the level of the sea, these cruisers
are not able to see the enemy more
than twenty miles away and then only
in very clear weather
Now the Germans on the other
hand have appreciated that by using
Zeppellns as scouts, they would be
able to learn the position of the
enemy long before the enemy could
learn of their position. You see, the
Zeppelins accompany the warships,
miles high in the clouds and pracu-
callv invisible, and from that great
height discern the enemy eighty miles
away.
And that gives them a great ad-
vantage. doesn't it?" asked mother
Indeed It does. Alice" answered
Uncle Harry. 1T gives them all the
advantage in the world-the very ad-
vantage. boys, you have over the fell
low who is it playing blind-man's-
buff. The German Zeppelins were IN
this way of the greatest possible help
to their warships during the recent
battle in the North Sea. They knew
lust whore the warships of the mar
British fleet we're because they could
see them and they could notify their
own-the German warships, by wire
less. Then. when the main British
fleet came close enough to make i
uncomfortable for the German fleet
the Zeppelins gave the signal and tn
German warships retreated 10 IN
shelter Of the German mine held.
How many Zeppelins has Ger
many?" asked Jimmy.
1T is hard to say definitely Wnel
the war started, Germany had abou
twelve and several more building
France. I believe. had one with tw
more building, and Great Britain ha
none at all. although she was expert
lmenting with them.

And how much does the air weigh
that the bird displaces?'
why. nothing at all-or hardly
anything"
Then" said Uncle Harry. "the bird
weights more than the air it flies in"
so it does" Joe was thoughtful
a moment
"And I suppose" said he that
aeroplanes and other heavier-than-air
machines can fly because they beat
the air downwards with their planes
Just as the birds beat the air down
with their wings
That's it," answered Uncle Harry.
You can see how different the aero
plane which is a heavier-than-air ma
chine is from the lighter -than-air ma
chine which is generally called a Yep
pelin because Count Zeppelin, a Ger
man, has been very active in the de-
velopment of this particular type Of
airship."
which is the better, Uncle Harry,
the aeroplane or the Zeppelin?'
asked Jimmy.
at depends, Jimmy. on what you
expect 1t to do. For short flights,
saw up to fifty miles. and for fighting
in the air over the trenches, perhaps
the aeroplane is the better because
it can be driven so much more quickly
and turned around in much shorter
space. whereas the Zeppelin can get
under way only with great preparation
and can turn only in the space OF
mile or so.
"If you are going to drive through
crowded city traffic. you would pre-
fer an automobile because II can turn
so much more quickly, whereas If you
are going on a long cross-country tour
YOU would prefer a long wheel-bast

Now Great Britain sees that her
mastery of the seas is threatened, un-
less she has eyes for her fleet. just
as good and as far-seeing as the eyes
of the German fleet and consequently
is making plans to build a great many
Zeppelins.
You see. in the old days, the mas
terry of the seas meant everything to
a nation that was situated on an
island, but in these days man is able
to send the ships under the water and
through the air Consequently the
island-nation that has the most pow
erful navy is not necessarily secure
unless she is as strong in airships
and submarines as her adversary"

BELIEF IN GOD

1t is natural to believe in God. The
evidences are too numerous and con-
vincing not to believe in His exist
ence. Some men try to doubt or dis
believe the fact of God, but they do
it without any good reason No one
lives long without God. He may
proclaim his unbelief abroad, declare
he has no use for any world but the
material world about him, and depend
upon the aid except that which he
can secure himself. But wait. Sun
denly around some corner he comes
face to face with. God. 1t may be a
new JOY, an unexpected sorrow, an
impending crisis orthreatened death
itself that brings the revelation; but
1t comes. 1t is better to cultivate be-
lief in God in youth and have its sup
porting influence throughout the
years of earthly life and it's blessed,
luieting, comforting effect in death.
Friend.

THE PRINT PAPER SITUATION.

Testimony brought out before the
Federal trade commission is TO the
effect that paper manufacturers have
unduly raised the cost of white paper
TO newspapers. Frank P. Glass, of
birmingham, vice-preSident of the
Newspaper Publishers association
says that he is morally certain that
here is collision among manufacture
erS and that he will be able in a short
time to present the proof. The manu-
facturers, of course, claim that the
extreme high cost of paper is due to
an increased demand and a shortage
Of supply. The fact remains, how
ever, that the manufacturers do sup
ply the demand, though there is fire.
luently delay about it, and the out
side indications are that they are us

says the Nashville Tennesseean.
Witnesses before the commission
.estified that, at the present rate, the
cost of paper will drive many papers,
particularly dailies with less than 90
200 circulation, into bankruptcy. They
declared that there is discrimination
between papers, the discrepancy some
lines running as high as six cents a
pound, 1t was also testified that there
S practically no competition, that
newspaper cannot get quotations ex-
:ept from the mill from which it or
linarily buys.
Such testimony as that indicates a
most pernicious combine. In a sense,
It is much worse than any other com
pine with which the Federal govern
nent has dealt, because it strikes at
The most powerful educational agency
in the country. The Standard Oil
pany and other combines that the gov
eminent has undertaken to dissolve
affected only monetary interests. A
print paper combine would limit the
educational opportunities of every boy
and every girl in the United States.
The investigation should be very
thorough and, if the facts arc estab-
hshed, prompt and effective steps
must bettaa2en to break up the COM
bine.

MAKING PERGURY IMPOSSIBLE
Commercial Appeal

One of the sublimest things in this
world is the plain truth. nan
who is honest himself instinctiveiy
hates Il liar. He may entertain a
spirit of compassion for a safe blow
er or a porch climber or for The con-
fidence man who is clever enough to
put something over. In his he;rt,
however, he has feeling of con-
tempt for a liar. Yet truth is sa ly
neglected in the courts of this en-
hghtened land. Purgery has ceased
to be matter of crime. Purgory
has come to be a matter of coul Sc
Gu laws are good enough, but oul
enforcement of law is lax. TOO fie-
quently witnesses under oath have
an utter disregard to tie veractty
of their sworn testimony. They re-
gard the present, forgetiul of the
hereafter. Men and Women. OF
seeming good standing. unhe stating
ly lie on the witness stand and pay
so little attention to the ! ,lsity OF
their testimony that one cant OF help
but believe tina. their conscience has
hong since become atrophied.
TO restore 4 commonplace truth
to its first uncommon lustcr you
need only translate it into action,
nd t1,iut ic uyb Now Va,.ly Cnnlst
of General Sessions seems anxious
to do. At least this high tribunal
has struck a high blow at perjury
which is likely to prove Of ine5ti-
mable value in causing respecs fol
law in the Empire State. 1t should
be taken as a serious exanr'e by
authorities in other sections of the
country, where giving false lesti-
mony is considered so lightly that
the oath of the witness counts fol
absolutely nothing and at the best
is only regarded as a tiresome d,'a
in court procedure.
1t was only few days ago TIA
a witness under oath testified to ha

AS they say in the sage grass coul
try, God Almighty hates liar an,
any clean-hearted man does the
same thing.
Any legislative action tending tC
eliminate perjury in the courts
means that the law of the land will
be more sacredly re gardcd and that
the spirit of truth will be susta' !
