NEW DIRIGIBLES ARE
Goodrich Company rushes Construc.
ton Of Two Blimps for Navy
Department

Department
The recent award of a Government
contract for the construction Of two
Of the Blimp type dirigibles, the total
number bid upon by The B. F. Good
rich Company, developed the inter-
esting fact that this big Akron Rub
Der company has for a number OF
years been conducting experimental
work in both the manufacture Of bal
loon fabrics and in the building Of
dirigibles and kite balloons.
The potentiality of the dirigibles
has been more strongly emphasized
during the two past years and a half
Of the European war. The possibil-
tiles for defensive proposes have
grown in excess of those for offensive,
particularly for aircraft Of the Blimp
type which embody the combination
Of balloon and aeroplane principles
but with distinct advantages over
both of these individually. The great
dominance of the Blimp dirigibles in
its ability to ascend with the ease
Of the common balloon, remain sta
tionary as it does, or o about at
the will Of the pilot with the aid Of
the powerful propeller by a gasoline
motor. This motor is capable Of driv-
ing the huge aircraft 45 miles per
hour, and is mounted forward in the
car.
The experimental work Of the Good
rich Company in it's Akron factories
has been greatly supplemented since
the outbreak of the war in Europe,
by the contract which the engineers
Of the French factory Of the Good
rich company at Columbus have had
with the practical development and
use Of this type of dirigibles. Their
observations have been so thorough
and their experience in aeronautics so
concentrated upon the dirigible type
that this knowledge will more strong
ly fortify the Goodrich Company in
becoming the most important factor
in the United States in the building
Of this type Of dirigible for our own
government.
When the Goodrich Company re-
Gently offered its immense resources
to the United States Government in
the event of war there were but few
who had any conception Of their vast
ness. This voluntary offer, however,
was prompted by the invaluable aid
which the French factories Of the
Goodrich Company have been since
they were taken over by the French
government early in the war. The
French engineers who are now in
charge of the dirigible building at the
Goodrich plant were called to America
with the consent of the French govern
ment, long before the recent orders
for the Blimps were awarded.
The shape Of the envelope of the
Blimp dirigible somewhat resembles
that Of a cigar. The entire length,
from tip to tip will be 160 feet and
the maximum diameter 3l.5 feet, but
the maximum width over the tail fins
will be 36.2 feet. This huge envelope
will displace 1900 cubic feet.
Suspended from the envelope will
be a rigidly built car, spacious enough
to carry a pilot, an observer, the ne
cessary accessories for determining
altitude, speed, etc and a 100 horse
power gasoline motor Of the latest
Improved type. Provisions is also
made for carrying ballast, which, when
thrown out will enable the diripible
to reach an altitude Of $500 feet with

HAROLD SALISBURY TELLS
OF HIS SCHOOL AND TOWN

In letter asking for literature in
regard TO The organization of a Par
ent-Teachers Association, Harold Sal
isbury writes from Chester, Idaho.
under date of November 18th:
I'VE have organized here and are
anxious to join the state association.
We have very fine little school
here. We have three teachers and
an enrolment of nearly 100. Our
building is strictly modern, steam
heat, sanitary drinking fountains, ell
ectric lights, hardwood floors, and a
fine Victrola. We are very proud of
our school, and have a cause to be
as we have such beautiful build
Ing and fine pupils.
This is great farming country
up here. Not far away, we can see
the mountains in the Yellowstone
National Park; also we can see some
mountain peaks called the Three
Sisters" which are in Wyoming.
The altitude of Chester is much
greater than Meridian, being 51OO
feet. The community is solid Nor
mon, but / haven't found nicer peo-
pie anywhere. They are very loyal to
our country in Its trial of warfare,
and many Mormon boys have gladly
volunteered for service.

HAD A Wild PLAN

New York, April 27.-EXposure of
a plot to kidnap President Wilson and
hold him as a hostage and to organ
ize German reservists here into an
army for an invasion of Canada has
been announced by Judge Rosalsky in
the court of general sessions. The
originator of the QuiXotic scheme, he
said, is serving a term for bigamy in
the New York state penitentiary.
The details of the plot became
known thru application by the com
missioner of corrections for a parole
of the prisoner, which Judge Rosalsky
denied. 1t was charged that the
scheme involved organization of 150.-
900 German reservists in this country.
Some time ago | sentenced a man
named Max Lynar to the penitentiary
for bigamy." Judge Rosalsky said.
The commissioner of corrections rec
commended placing him on probation.
But United States authorities and the
police department wanted to prevent
that.
Il am told that this man Lynar
made arrangement to seize the per-
son of the president of the United
States and hold him as hostage and
organize an army for an invasion of
Canada. / don't believe such a man
should be allowed his liberty at the
present time"
