The cylindrical body Of the Zeppelin
may therefore be said to have sixteen
sides on account of the sixteen Orders.
To keep these longitudinal Orders,
or ''stringers," in position there are
thwartship Orders, which run like
hoops around the ship and act like the
ribs of a boat. There are generally
about eighteen hoop Orders, spaced an
equal distance, one from another, and
they are braced across and across in
side each hoop to the next by wire
bracing, SO that they cut up the whole
skeleton into a succession Of compart-
ments, each Of which-except the end
compartments-has fat ends and six
teen sides.
In each Of these compartments is a
gas bag standing on it's edge. The
idea is that If one gas bag springs a
leak or is punctured by a projectile
only that one bag collapses, and the
weighing Of the ship is so arranged
that even If four or five gas bags are
entirely debated those that remain will
float the ship after all ballast, amnnuni-
ton and other nonessentials have been
thrown overboard.-London Standard.

Holdings Unrecorded,
Nordling's Discharge
From Bankruptcy Fought

Opposition to the discharge Of Geo.
Nordling, the contractor, who went
into bankruptcy several months ago.
was made before Referee John W.
Banks in a hearing this morning on
the grounds that Nordling had failed
to turn over to the trustees deeds
to certain houses which were to be
sold.
It later appeared that Nordling had
withheld these deeds through misun-
derstanding and upon their delivery
at the offices Of Shapiro & Shapiro,
attorneys for the trustees, this after
noon, it was announced that opposi-
ton to the discharge had been with
drawn. Judge Banks will sign the
release from bankruptcy today.
Trustees John J. Doyle. Charles Wy

three large lumber companies involv-

Constant Suffering
Without A Let Up
For Six Years
Mr.. w. Franklin, 113 Hillside
Avenue, This City, Says That
Lax-a-TOne Gave Him Inn
mediate Relief.

Too little food is just as likely to
cause indigestion as too much. many
aids for indigestion have resulted
from the crying need for them.
The most meritorious and dependa-
BILE of these remedies yet found is
the new system tonic Lax-a-Tone, the
purely Herbal stomach remedy which
has become a household word in
Bridgeport and also throughout the
United States. 1t gives the most
beneficial results of any preparation
ever placed on the market; for it is so
prepared from roots, barks, blossoms
and fibres that it is practically i'm
possible to take it into the stomach
without good results. More and more
Bridgeport people are becoming to
realize the truth of this assertion. Mr..
Franklin says:
IT have had indigestion of thesworst
sort form any months and for the
past six months have had continual
suffering and pain, and it is great
pleasure that I heartily indorse the
wonderful remedy Lax-a-Tone and
am sure that it will do for many
others as 1t has done for me-
Many people in Bridgeport are suf-
fering from malaria and that tired
out feeling that comes on with the
spring weather. They have torpid
liver, and sour acid stomachs, also
constipation. Why not give Lax-a-Tone
a trial? It will surprise you how
different you will feel in just one
weeks time.
Iax-a-Tone is for sale at Harti-
gan's drug store, 81 Fairfield avenue,
near Main street; also Main and Con-
gress streets ADV.

OF
CASE OF WRIGHT
BROTHERS HINTEO
Bridgeport Men Are on
Docket of Superior Court
For Tomorrow.

The cases Of Nathaniel Wright and
his brother Joseph G. Wright. charg-
ed with embezzlement from the I'm
ion Metallic Cartridge Co., are on the
list of matters to be heard before
Judge Burpee in the criminal super
Tor court tomorrow. The fact that
about ten other cases are on the list
has led to the belier that the Wright
brothers will not stand trial but that
their cases will be settled before the
day Is over. 1t is claimed that they
embezzled copper wire and other ma
terial worth about $4,000.
The cases Of William F. Fair and
Jack DeverauX of Darien, charged
with manslaughter in connection with
the death of Margaret Fair In Darien

been intended to start their trial to-
morrow but the court allowed a post
ponement of two days.
