Within year, If plans Of Akron
promoters hold true, giant passenger
dirigibles will leave their hangers at
Akron, o., bound for New York, Chi
cago, Omaha, Canada, Florida. Texas
and the Pacific coast.
And If these flights are successful
and the monetary returns are suffi-
cient, work will start upon giant air
ships, even larger than the Zeppelins.
capable of crossing the Atlantic, and a
regular passenger service will be es-
tablished between New York and Lon.
don.
These are not dreams. They are
the plans OF veterans Of air naviga-
ton. men who have spent years pilot
ing balloons, airships and airplanes.
and backed by corporation that has
been making dirigIbles for years.
! A dirigible 300 feet long, capable Of
travelling rs miles an hour In favor
able weather, and SO miles an hour
in windy weather, will open daily serv.
ice between Akron and Cleveland. o., q
distance of 35 miles.
| This. however. Is but the trial serv-
ice. If this proves successful. the
service will be extended, first to New
York and Chicago, and then through
out the United States"
Dock on Building Tops.
Landing places will be obtained In
the very heart of these cities, prob.
| ably on the roofs of the tallest hotels.
Unlike airplanes, which need a large
landing place. the airships need but
a small platform upon which to dock.
This was demonstrated recently,
when 160-foot army dirigible from
the naval station at Wingfoot Lake.
Akron, landed two passengers on a
| 30-foot platform on the roof OF the Ho-
tel Statler, Cleveland The airship
was 160 feet long.
The first of this feet of air liners
will carry II passengers.
1t is now under construction at the
plant of rubber company. who are
pioneers In the manufacture Of air
ships. and makers OF large percent
age of the ''blimps" and dirigibles that
were used by the United States dur
ing the world war.
Many secrets of the government
perfected during the war, have beer
placed at the disposal of the rubber
firm.
Promoters Have Much Experience.
The promoters of the airship pas
senger line are Ralph ii. Upson, fol
years aeronautical engineer at rub
ber company's plant, holder Of the
James Gordon Bennett balloon trophy
in 1914, and w. G. Young, veteran bal
loon navigator.
They are being given both financia
and mechanical support by the rubber
company.
The dirigibles will be from 300 Il
800 feet in length. They will carr.
from II to 100 passengers. The ex
press airships will carry about 10'
tons of express.
1t is estimated that the trip to New
York, about 600 miles. could be mad,
In eight hours. A trip to San Francis
co. over 1900 miles, and now takini
four days. could be. accomplished II
about so hours.
Rates, 1t is estimated, will be abou
three times the railroad fare.
Besides the fleet of air liners, tn
company has also under course OF. erec
ton sport model dirigible. Its cos
will be but $1,000. 1t will be about
feet long, contain $4,000 cubic feet o
gas. The motor will be able to 60
maximum of 20 miles an hour, but tn
average speed will be 80 miles.
1t will seat but two persons.

Manufacturing Concerns Consider
Advantages for Branch Plants.

Two manufacturing concerns, one
making paint and the other envelopes,
are considering establishment of
branch plants in Washington to- serve
the southern territory, according to
Charles ]. Columbus, secretary of the
Merchants and Manufacturers AS
sociation.
The paint firm is located in New
York and the envelope company is in
Chicago. The paint firm. if it car
ries out its plan for Washington,
would employ about fifty people here.
The envelope project probably would
be bigger.
The three District Commissioners
have accepted an invitation to attend
meeting of the factory-boosting
committee of the merchants asso-
citation to be held at a downtown
hotel Monday afternoon.
At this meeting the committee will
decide on what forms of advertising
will be used to acquaint the business
interests of other cities with the
articles that are already being made
in Washington, and also with the
opportunities which exist here for
further commercial development.
The committee also hopes at this
meeting to convince the people of
Washington that the plan for build
ing up small industries in the Dis
trict will in no way conflict with the
designs for the extension and beauti-
fication of the National Capital

turned from overseas. where she has
been singing in the camps.
Possessed of a voice of beautiful

the favor of the audience. which de-
| manded additional numbers after each
appearance, her most striking success
being made in when Chloris Sleeps"
! by Homer Samuels; "Smilin' Through"
by. Arthur Penn. and There Are
Fairies in the Bottom of Our Garden"
by Liza Lehman. after which she
gave three encores., By request she

gram opened with his "Wanderer's s
Evening Song" and was followed by
"Andalusian Love Song" by Herman;
Moonlight" by Schumann- -Saar; ITO
Sylvia" by SchubertSaar, and On
dian Summer" dedicated to the club

a quartet composed of Elsie Carle-
ton Small, Mary NJ. Thompson, Flor

ing without accompaniment from the
balcony opposite the platform, alter

compartments. both for the club and
the soloist, which were always amply
sustaining without ever being OBJ
trusive.

JoIts "Within-Party" 0pposi-

Champ Clark gave a severe jolt to

ing to an Associated Press dispatch.
he urged all Americans to support
President Wilson and his conferees in

This is the first direct reply made

the league of nations and is not sup
porting President Wilson. His critics
have challenged him to make a direct
statement on these points.
