automobile trip to New York City, but
the men were informed that this plan
might be called off by starting the
return flight late today, or making a
flight to Washington instead.
Major Scott, his fellow officers and
American naval representatives at a
conference today were to determine
whether the proposed flight to the
capital should be made. In case this
trip we're made the dirigible would
fly over New York City, Philadelphia
and Baltimore.
During the forenoon the wind fresh
ened and the R-34 was hauled down SO
her gondolas rested about five feet
from the ground. The cables attached
to the concrete anchorages were re-
Taxed and man power substituted In
holding her. Nearly 500 were en-
ployed for this. Later some We're re-
lieved by three heavy tractors.
A rise in temperature caused the
gas in the RIA to expand shortly be-
fore noon and she suddenly arose to a
height of about 300 feet. The haw-
sers held and she was pulled back
after a struggle Of half an hour. A
rent was torn in the ose Of the gas
envelope, but the gas bags proper
were not damaged.

MINEOLA, L. l., July THE Brit
ish dirigible R-34, which completed a
transatlantic flight yesterday, will
start on her return trip at 8 o'clock
tomorrow morning, if conditions are
favorable.
This announcement was made here
this afternoon by Brigadier General
l.. E. Charlton, atache of the British
air ministry at Washington. He add
ed that the airship probably would
precede its homeward flight by a
circle over New York City at a low
altitude. The return trip, Charlton
said, is expected to be made in much
faster time than the westward voy-
age. since the R-34 will then be aided,
rather than retarded, by the prevail
ing winds.
American army and naval officials
inspected the airship this afternoon.
Charlton also said that Mrs. William
G. McAdoo and Mrs. Francis Sayre,
daughters of President Wilson, We're
expected to accept the invitation of
the R-34s officers to visit the airship

DEVICES OF fHE BODY.
The Cough. snsezs and sisa ~
Measures OF Self Protection

One Of the most interesting fact
about the human body is its pow "a
of self preservation--its power Of
evading or overcoming the thoa-
sand and one conditions which, un.
less corrected, would be injurious
or destructive.
Among the most commcn Of
these acts of self preservation are
the cough, the sneeze and the 81 h.
Every one is familiar 18th these
acts, yet few people ever ask them
selves the cause, AM fewer still
could explain Them.
One of the simplest Of the bodys
devices for self protection is the
cough. The cough is merely blast
of air propelled from the lungs in
such a manner as to forcihly dis
lodge some foreign substance which
has been drawn into the throat, the
vindpipe or the tubes leading to
the lungs.
