Our First Scouting Dirigibles

The United States is building ssBlimps," the new type of scouting dirigible originated by the British. The main feature of the American 'Blimps" is the addition of blower driven by a cyclemotor and of sec ond airbag or balloonet with valves to shift the air at will from one bag In front to another bag in the rear. As q result, the ship can be trimmed (that it is. the flotation in front or in the rear can be increased at will by driving the gas where there is less air) even while it is at rest and the elevator or verti- cal rudder Is powerless. Cautiously enough, there is no provision for driv- ing the blower from the main engine. Hence, the fate of the American Blimp depends on the doubtful endurance of two horse power cyclemotor. Enough water and sand ballast are carried to permit the craft to rise the better part of a mile; the safe altitude is actually given as one and one-quar ter miles. With the help of the power full airplane action of the aircraft. an altitude twice as great should be at tained if the airbags are large enough to compensate for the loss of gas.

There are still many persons who
prefer to go to dentist who will not
advertise - probably because they
think it is wrong for a professional
man to use publicity.
The people have been taught this
through a generation because of the
fact that when dentistry was first
generally practioed. it was necessary
to avoid prominent publicity because
physicians had never done 1t and the
dentists of those days desired TO have
their profession placed on an equal
basis with that Of a physician.
The result has been that dentistry
was instantly recognized as a calling
in almost every way equal to that of
the practice of medicine. As the
science of curing and preventing bod
lily ills progressed, hospitals we're
founded throughout the world and the
practice of medicine was given pub
licity that would today cost millions
of dollars, while the dentists had TO
"plug along" as best they could.
For the reason that dentistry is
only called upon when a person has
gone beyond the means Of some
simple home treatment for the tooth
ache, it has progressed more slowly
than medicine, and only recently have
Dental Clinics been given proper con-
sideratiOn.
To overcome this unfortunate lack
of publicity, many dentists have
boldly advertised their service
through many mediums and have be-

LANSING, Mich. April 24.-The

For the benefit OF those who could

of liquor by druggists in q way de-
signed to prevent drug stores from
becoming booze centers. The drug
gists hrst must apply for q permit
TO handle liquors for medicinal pur-
poses. When he has the permit he
may sell liquor only on the written
prescription OF a physician.
No prescription may be refiIled
and no prescription can call for
more than eight ounces OF "booEe."
The druggist must keep all prescrip-
tons filled by him. showing the
name and address OF the person for
