R-Sl Left ROOseveA Field Last Night
for Second Trip Across
the Atlantic
THOUSANDS GATHER
TO SEE SHIP LEAVE
Airship Presents Beautiful Picture ~
She Rises Into Sky with All
Lights Burning and
Heads Out to Sea

Mineola, N. Y, July 10.-The Brit
ish Transatlantic air cruiser R-S4
left Roosevelt Field ut 11:65 last
night for the return trip to England.
The ship was not scheduled to leave
until 8 or 4 o'clock this morning, the
early departure being ordered by
Commander Scott when he received
a report from the United States wea-
ther bureau warning that winds dan
gerous to O moored craft would likely
sweep the field within q few hours.
The craft, which was held in leash
by 1000 American soldiers, was re-
leased at 11:55 and allowed to rise to
a height Of 200 feet before the mo-
tors were started.
Three great searchlights playing on
the ship made her clearly discernable
to the thousands who had gathered to
bid her bon voyage. With three en-
gines-port, starbOard and forward
running, and two others in reserve,
the R-S4 glided of toward the south
then swinging in q westerly course
bringing her nose in the direction OF
New York.
Took 8 Minutes to Rise
Il took the R-S4 about three min
utes to rise to the height at which she
began cruising. At 11:6O abe was
about 500 feet up, barely discernable
and with no lights visable, was skim
ming along at a speed Of about thir-
ty-five or forty miles an hour.
Brigadier General Lionel Charlton,
British aviator attache in the United
States, said that the ship would en-
ploy only the three engines on which
she started unless unexpected condi-
ton arose.
The great ship presented a beauti-
full picture as she drifted up into the
sky, bathed in the white light Of three
powerful searchlights. Just as she
nosed out of Roosevelt Field the moon
appeared from behind black Clouds
partially lighting up the dark field
A few rain drops fell.
At 1901 lights along the deck OF
the dirigible, which runs virtually the
entire length Of the envelOps inside
were switched on and the great ship
herself appeared a long streak OF
light swimming in the radiance OF the
searchlights.
Disappears from View
Up to 1901, the R-S4 had drifted
sideways in the current Of q south
west wind. At this hour she nosed
into the wind, now sailing at about
900 feet and one minute later disap-
peared from the view Of he crowds at
Roosevelt Field. It was just 1850
o'clock when bell rang aboard the
R-S4, signalling that the hour Of de-
uarture was at hand. An officer with
a meRaphone yelled: "All clear"
Major Scott, leaning out Of the port
window forward, cried, "cast Of" and
the R-34 was headed for home.

The victory at Chateau Thierry-
that furious engagement which turned
the tide of the war forever In favor of
the allies-was made possible through
the performance of a single motor
truck. How this came about is relat-
ed by Capt. Guy A. Whitcomb OF the
motor transport corps.
Every Driver Volunteered.
"The marines, who were smashing
the last German offensive, were run
ming short of machine gun ammuni-
ton" said Captain WhitcOmb. "Their
commander telephoned back for more.

ADJUSTMENT OF CARBURET0R
Mistake Made by Many Car Owners
in Performing Task While the
Engine 10 Cold.

A great many car owners make the
mistake of adjusting the carburetor
when the engine is cold. Now it is
always best to make adjustments to
the motor after it has been run long
enough to get thoroughly warmed
through, and this applies equally to the
valve tappets, etc. 1t is quite probable
that the cold motor may operate very
well on certain adjustments that will
not agree at all with the hot engine.
