AMERICAN ZEPPELIN
Plans for An American Airship That
May Surpass The German Zeppe-
lin Aluminium The Essential Factor
An Interesting Article From A
Washington Correspondent.

The first American Zeppelin"
which the Navy Department is now
planning, is a subject of keen interest
in the Army and Navy national capi-
tai circles generally.
Rumor has it that the exact mea-
surements and 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 military
dirigible may show several features of
Germany's latest model, with at least
one great American improvement.
This particular German super-Zep-
pelin was $50 feet long and " feet
across the beam. With its six 240
horsepower engines, its crew of about
twanty-two men, guns and all, it
weighed only fifty tons---less than a
single gtwelve-inch gun on an Ameri-
can warship.
The secret of Count Zeppelin's sue
cess in building this war-ship 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
German 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
acteriEed as nothing less than start
ling, will, it is said, enable America
to surpass the German Zeppelin both
In speed and carrying power.
Four nations are responsible for
the aluminium airship. More than a
century ago, Sir Humphrey Davy, OF
England, first advanced the theory
that there must be a metallic base in
clay. Woehler, a German, later was
the first to succeed in extracting the
metal A French metallurgist, Devil
le, by name, so modified and improved
Woehler's process as to make alum
mum a purchasable commodity, the
price then being 800 pound. But il
remained for an American, Charles M
Hall, q student at Oberlin College, to
discover, in 1886, the process of pro-
ducing aluminium by means of elec-
tricity, which made possible the pro-
duction of aluminium on a commercial
scale. The lead America thus gained
in the production of Aluminium has
been maintained and the group Of al
minimum alloys known as Ignite is to-
day the finest aluminium produced
anywhere.
While popularity known as "the stuff
they make cooking utensils out of,
aluminium has many and varied com
mercial uses. The fine aluminium alloy
known as Ignite, is used extensively
in automobile motors and for many
other parts, where, through reduction
in weight, It effects an immense saw
ng in gasoline, tires and the general
DC ndi"g-to-pieces of the car pre-
viousb' resulting from heavy cast iron
construction.

Better Save a Dollar
a Week

and do it EVERY week,
than save more once in
a while when the spirit
moves"
Because when you know you're to
save one dollar every so often, you'll
manage somehow to do it.
But if you wait until the spirit
moves you to save larger sums, you'll
wait until every feeting trivial want is
satisfied.
Any bank would rather have thou
sand people saving dollar a week
than a. hundred people trying" to
save ten.
Those people who come as regularly
as clockwork are the ones that you can
count on to accomplish results.
Get the "Once-a-week" habit
with dollar or more.
1t will do you good.
