A Baby Plane attached

The most remarkable feature of these
huge airships will be the arrangements
for fast delivery Of special express mail
packages and letters. Beneath the huge
mass of the airships frame a special
equipment will hold a high speed air
plane, capable Of an average speed of
40 miles an hour.
When within few hundred miles Of
its destination the airship will release
this eirplane, which will then proceed
at top speed with the special mail
aboard. saving two or three hours in
time.
Another feature that the British COM
bine is basing its plans upon is to enter
into open competition with the cable
companies serving distant countries.
This is best illustrated in the words of
the official report of the British Air
Ministry on this phase of aerial naviga-
tion, which reads:
"The cost of electric cable communi
cation, say, to johannesburg. at fS los
(s4250 per 100 words, a message TAX
ing twenty-four hours to reach its
destination), can be contrasted with
the cost, say. of 2s Cd go cents) of
sending a letter of 5000 wo1s to the
same spot in six days by airship."
Remarkable as these facts are, they
will be surpassed by the remarkable
construction Of the future airship sta
tions which will be erected just out
side all the large cities of the world.
These stations at first glance will have
the appearance Of huge oil territory
under rapid development. Everywhere
huge towers, like the Eifel Tower in
Paris, will rise above the surrounding
buildings. Standing straight out from
the tops of these towers, at right
angles, will be impossible looking poles.
Closer inspection will reveal the MAN.
moth airships moored by the nose at
different towers.
In the natural circumstances, these
aerial stations will be situated out

ship constructors have had to be con-
tent to install airplane engines on
their craft. The power problem Of the
airship is entirely different from that
Of the airplane. There is no need for
the very powerful single units so nee
essary to the airpisne. Moreover, the
engines Of the airship can be silenced,
thus eliminating the terrible effect
upon the passengers caused by the con-
tinuous noise OF high powered engines.
The airship's power plant can be split
up into many units.
While the ship is passing over large
cities, or beautiful country, the pas
senger may go to the observation car.

Sophie Chotek remained at her fam

Ferdinand could endure it no longer.
he contracted a secret marriage with
the pretty Bohemian baroness. Only
two of his immediate female relatives

Sophie Chotek was a sincere Czech.
She loved her people. They were long
oppressed by the %aristocratic German
and Magyars. She had great inhu-

the Bohemians and other Czechs and
Slavs within the dual empire.
This did not please the governing
Germans in Austria and in Bohemia,
and their counterparts. the naughty

present fears were their fears for days
to come when Franz Ferdinand would
be emperor and Sophie would be, IL
not his legal consort. at least a power
behind the throne. Sophie loved her
people.

as yet the German and Magyars did
not greatly fear Sophie Chotek. They

that she was his wife. And il they did

By time Sophie had a daughter and
a son. The old emperor was forcing
a wife on Franz Ferdinand. The lat
ter avoided a fat announcement of his
state as long as he could. When he
could avoid it no longer he Mortified
Francis Joseph by admitting that he
was married and had children. among
them a son.
Francis Joseph was a Hapsburg and
once was young himself. He. too. had
his affairs Of the heart. He had come

over sixty years. 1t would be al right.

Francis Joseph was fond of Franz
Ferdinand. So he set about making
the best Of a bad Job. He knew the
law on royal marriages. While the
Austrian law made it illegal for a
prince OF the blood 10 marry a woman
OF less noble rank, the law In Hun
gary and in other states OF the dual
monarchy did not forbid such al

Francis Joseph was in a dilemma.
Outside Of Austria the Bohemian
baroness could become queen. Her
son could become king.
