PLANS FOR AN AMERICAN
"ZEPPELIN

Washington, Jan. 31-The first
American Zeppelin" which the Navy
Department is now planning, is sub
ject of keen interest in the Army and
Navy national circles generally.
Rumor has it that the exact meas
urements and a detail description of
the German super-Zeppelin, recently
brought down in Essex, England, are
in the hands Of American authorities
and that the first American dirigible
may show several features of Ger
many's latest model, with at least one
great American improvement.
This particular German super-Zep-
pelin was ESQ feet long and 72 feet
across the Jean. With its six 240
horse loTer engines, its crew Of about
% men, guns and all, it weighed only
so tons--less than single 12-inch
gun on an American warship.
The secret Of Count Zeppelin's sue
cess In building this warshlp Of the
air so light, English engineers say,
lies in the wonderful construction of
its skeleton framework through its
myriad Of aluminium girders and
hoops. Wonderful as this is, Ameri-
can engineers say they can go the |
Germans one better. That is in the |
secret processes known only TO certain |
American manufacturers for produc-
ing finer aluminium alloys. These pro-
posed improvements, which are char
acterized as nothing less than startl-
ing, will, il is said enable America TO
surpass the German Zeppelin both In
speed and carrying power.

NJ. Hall student Of Oberlin College,
to discover, in 1856, the process "
producing aluminium by means Of cicc.
lricity, which made possible tie pro
duliion Of aluminium on a commercial
scale. The lead America thus gained
in the production Of Aluminium has
been maintained and the group of
aluminium alloys known rs Ignite IS
today the finest aluminium produced
anywhere
While popularity known as "thc stuff
they make cooking utensils out Of,
alumiDum has many and varied com
mercia uses. The fine aluminium al
10y, known as Ignite, is used extern
sivcly in automobile motors and for
many other parts, where, through re
duction in weight, it effects an inn
mense saving in gasoline, tires and
the general pounding to-pieces Of tho
car previously resulting from heavy
oast-iron construction.
The use Of this construction in auto
mobiles, one automobile engineer has
said, makes it possible to take | 1000
pounds weight off car and still give
the car an equal amount Of strength
and even more power. Thus 1000
pound car is reduced to 5000 pounds
Experiments are now being conducted
to ascertain the exact saving Of tires

Ignite pistons alone promises to revo-
lutionize an important feature Of the
industry. Small as the
piston in the motor may be, il makes
5000 crank shaft revolutions min
starts and 5000 stops, and
the substitution of this light, strong
metal has increased the speed greatly
and lessened the shock and wear on
motors.
1t is said that, owing to the advance
made by American manufacturers in
aluminium construction, Secretary
Daniels has decided not to undertake
he construction Of the Zeppelin in the
navy yard, as first con
but will let the contract to
private organizations.

NORWICH UNIVERSITY CADETS
SET HIGH MORAL STANDARD

Considerable criticism has been
made within recent years concerning
the moral standards at educational
institutions of higher learning. Some
Of it no doubt has been well founded,
and great deal Of it has been OK
aggeraton. 1t is not believed that
Norwich University has at any time
been subject to this criticism, but
there has been, in common with other
institutions, cases where such criti-
cism might be warranted. However.
whatever the past may have brought
forth in the way Of criticisms Of any
institutions, the fact remains that
Norwich University is at this time
taking the lead to establish the high
est moral standard. 1t is an unfor-
tunate argument, or an excuse rather,
made by many young men that high
moral standards are not always evil
dence of the highest physical develop
men and manhood. The fact that
Norwich is now standing for the high
est standard is the strongest refuta
ton for any such argument or excuse.
Ii there is red blooded school in the
United States it is Norwich Univcr-
sity. 1t is decidedly mans school.
1t is school where red blood, rather
than blue blood, is recognized. The
physical development, say nothing
about the high / telloctual standard, Il
probably not excellcd by any other
educational institution of collegiate
grade in the country.
Now, this is what Norwich Univer-
sity has recently done. At chapel ex-
ercises on January 31st, President
Reeves, in short talk on moral stand
ards, occassioned by recent ease Of
discipline, intimated that the cadets
at Norwich University should take adj
vanced ground, and do it in the decid
ed manner in which Norwich has al
ways done things. After the presen-
tation of the matter the entire corps
rose simultaneously as an evidence Of
unanimous obligation ION the word Of
honor" of every individual cadet to en-
force the following principles:
"To refrain TO the best ability from
the use of foul, profane, and obscene
language at the university.
ITO refrain from introduction or use
IN any form Of intoxicating liquor at
The university, or at any time while ia
he uniform Of the college"

Greater care than commonly is OK
crciscd should be taken in peclInf
potatoes. Very often 20 per cent q
The potato il pared away This result,
not only in the waste of considerable
potato bat also in the loss q one Of
one q the most valuable portions Of
the tubrr, since the soluble mincra
salts are present in the material near
/ tho skin, which would be removed and
thrown away. These salts can be pre-
served by a more careful removed Of
the skin, MS by shallow pairing or rub
bing, and also By boiling or baking the
potatoes in their jackets.
PAIRING before boiling, however, may
be the most desirable method Of cook
ing potatoes which through an undue
exposure TO light may have acquired
bitter taste, or those which have
been kept until late in the spring,
since in this way more Of the disagree
able flavor is eliminated. Such pota-
toes may also be soaked before cook
ing.
While these methods may be desir-
able with potatoes which have been ex-
posed to light, they result in the loss
Of considerable food value without
compromising advantages when APP
piled TO new or well-matured pota-
toes. II such potatoes are boiled after
pairing, they should be dropped into
boiling water instead of being placed
on the stove in cold water By the lat
ter method there is twice the loss Of
protein, or tissue building elements,
from the former The loss
of mineral matter is about the same
by each method. There is no loss Of
starchy material in boiling unless por-
tons of the tuber break off.
Practically the only loss when po-
tatoes are baked in their skins is Of
the water which escapes as steam. The
more or less common custom Of prick
ing holes in the skin of baked potatoes
Or breaking them is explained by the
fact that unless the steam which is
formed inside the skin is allowed to
escape it will change back into water
md produce sogginess.
Potatoes which have turned green
md sprouting tubers have present
quantity of solanin, an
lcrid poisonous substance which,
hough not dangerous in the quanti-
les ordinarily met with, gives a dis
agreeable flavor. 1t is best, therefore,
o avoid such potatoes or to cut out
.reen or sprouting portions.
