HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The school worked throughout the
week to secure 1000 in the Junior Red
Cross.
Thursday afternoon the Waugonian
Club entertained at Christmas party.
An impromptu program was given and
then each girl was presented with a
gift by Mr.. and Mrs. Santa Claus. The
rest of the afternoon was spent in
dancing.
The triangular debate will be held
Friday, February Is with Marshfield
and Grand Rapids. The subject for
debate is: Resolved that the open
shop be maintained in industry"
Wausau will be represented on the
affirmative by Stewart Manson, jose
phine Coates, Walter Graunke and
Harold Hollis alternate and on the
negative Ivan Levenhagen, Stella Zim-
merer Edumund Wetzel and Robert
Helling alternate.

THE great war, tragic and wasteful as
it was, did more for the develop
- ment of the aeroplane and the
fifty years of peace.
Men are now seeking to make the dis
coveries and skill developed during war
useful to peace and commerce. There
fore, it will probably be but few weeks
or months before tfansoceanic flights
through the air begin.
A trip to Europe from America in less
than forty-eight hours; voyages over the
now almost inaccessible portions of the
earth, freight and passenger traffic as the
crow flies between the cities of western
Europe and those of our own country and
of distant India, China and Australia are
only a few of what are now more than
probabilities.
Whether the heavier-than-air machine or
aeroplane. or the lighterthan-air machine

Zeppelin-will be the future vehicle of the

dirigibles for supremacy as aerial liners.

1t has just been reported from Paris that
large merchantmen of the Zeppelin rigid
dirigible construction have been built for
service between New York and Hamburg.
These reports have been confirmed at the
Aero Club OF America, New York. The
following statement was made on the sub
ject by the clubs president, Alan R.
Hawley:
I'VE have been reliably informed that
large super-Zeppelin type rigid dirigibles
have been constructed which will contain
100000 cubic feet OF gas, having five
motors and about 800 feet in length.

performances Of these lighterthan-sir
craft which are striking in the larse
mileage they have made and in the Ienrth
OF time they have remained in the air
without a stop
One performance that was especially
noteworthy was that OF the German zep.
pelin which started from a point in south.
ern Bulgaria In the taIl OF 1916 and nav
to Portuguese East Africa and returned
without stopping.
In making this voyage the craft covered
at least 1000 miles and probably a little
more. Much Of it's cargo-carrying capacity
was unquestionably given over TO addi.
uonal fuel supply. Experts in this country
point to this as an illustration OF the
cruising ability OF a giant ship OF this
type.
The purpose Of this long trip was 10
rescue General Forbeck. who was opposing
the armies Of the Allies IN Africa. Gen.
eral Forbeck was likely to be captured at
any moment and Germany wished to use
his abilities in the western theatre OF war.
A point had been designated for the land
ing and the transfer OF the General, but
before the Zeppelin arrived the British
forces had captured both the landing
place and the radio station.
So far as known the dirigible took the
following route: From Bulgaria across the
Mediterranean Sea, thence between the
river Nile and the Suez Canal, crossed the
Red Sea and followed the West African
coast until it reached South African ter.
ritory. From there IL proceeded 10 Ger.
man East Africa and Portuguese East
Africa.
One of the most interesting secrets that
was learned through the capture Of the
German LAG in France was the scheme
of guidance. These facts are now in the
possession Of American experts. Through

in comparison to those built in Great Brit.
ain, France, Italy and Germany. The largest
American airship-a non-rigid type-has
a capacity of only 171.OO0 cubic feet of gas
and carries a crew Of four men.
While this type has been highly salts
factory for purposes that it was designed
for, it is far too small for transcontinental
cruising. One great contribution that this
country has made for the future develop
ment of the lighter than air craft is the
discovery by American army officers, in the

ments, OF a gas called "Argon," which is
inert and non-infammable This, It is re-
ported, can be produced in sufficient guam
titles to meet all demands of the dirigibles.
Hitherto the greatest weakness of this
type has been the highly inflammable
character OF the hydrogen gas used to flI
the compartments. The slightest spark
meant an explosion and disaster. Even the
zeppelin, with its nineteen separate COM
partments was not safe in the event of an
explosion in any one
Although it is highly probable that some
Of the European countries will be the first
to make the trip across the Atlantic to
America in one OF these giant ships of the

produced on American soil and will exceed
in size and carrying capacity any that has
ever been built. Furthermore It will be Of

the millions. This is q factor that
must be considered. A gid Zeppelin,
should it have to descend either on
water, or land, is wholly at the mercy Of
the winds. In the air the machine is safe
from destruction by wind.
1T is a matter of common knowledge
that the Germans have lost a number of
their Zeppelins which were forced to land
and had no protecting hangers near. A
high wind or a heavy sea would soon re-
duce helpless dirigible into a mass OF
twisted steel or aluminium. You cant well

the neighborhood Of a million dollars.

According to the figures of American
experts it has been determined that for

Will lift 64.4 pounds. Taking the even
number of 65 pounds per one thousand
feet Of capacity, the American transatlantic
ship will lift about 325,OOO pounds. That
is to say it will Just lift it. In order to
permit the ship to rise to an appreciable
height and at the same time allow for
the reduction in bouyancy, or lifting power
as it approaches the less dense air levels
high above, this estimate should be halved.
Roughly speaking, the ship would have
