Senator Poindextcr says: "The pow
ers vested in League of Nations
must necessarily be exercised by men.
If we may suppose that the men who
will first be chosen to act for the
nations will be both good and wise,
men to whom we can trust our great
polices of state, our peace, security
and the honor Of our country, what
guarantee have we that the changing
personnel of the supreme council Will
continue to be wise, benevolent, charit'
able and humane? Good and great
men have been scarce in the history
of the world; and why should we as
sumo that the League will be domi.

Mrs. MediII Mccormick Makes
Some Predictions Concerning
the Presidency.

Washington, D. C.-(SpeciaD-Mrs.
Mediu Mccormick, Chairman Of the
Republican WoMen's National Execll-
tive Committee, in a. interview today
stated her belief that no man can be
nominated by the Republicans in 1922
who opposes wolhen's suffrage.
"The fact should not be overlooked
said Mrs. Mccormick, that over
twenty states have decided to let their
womtn vote for Presidential electors
In 1920. Fifteen of these states are
located west of the Mississippi. Prob
ably 100000 or 100000 women will
vote and they will be able to dictate
the choice of many electors, perhaps
quite enough to turn the result one
way or the other"

Dirigible Called
Airship of Future
Woodhouse Says Flight
Of R-34 Pr0ues Value
OF Type as Sea Carrier

Chairman Woodhouse, of the Aero
Club Of Americas committee on diri-
gible balloons and vice president of
the Aero League of America, had the
following comment to make last night
on the arrival Of the R-34 yesterday:
ut is q splendid achievement,
demonstrating what can be done by
dirigibles. The R-34 was at a dis
advantage on this trip because it is the
first trip across the Atlantic and there
was no definite data regarding weather
conditions and wind to assist the navi-
gators.
Reading the log of the R-s4 is very
much like reading the log of an ocean
liner, excepting that the dirigible did
not have to face rough seas.
Their ability to escape the angry
waves and their greater speed, are
two advantages which airships have
over ships of the sea.
Charts of Air Needed
Once the air lanes are charted. and
the prevailing winds are known and
suitable arrangements made to man
age the airships on the ground when
they land, aerial navigation by air
ships will be found much easier than
navigation of ships at sea.
I'VE must learn to consider ships
of the air as we consider ships of the
sea. We must learn to operate and
move airships in the air and only take

them into their sheds when it is nec-
essary to make repairs.
"Towers and masts are to take the
place of sheds for mooring airships,
and the sheds will be used essentially
as docks where airships are repaired.
with dirigibles of close to 5000 900
cubic feet hydrogen capacity already
in operation, and other dirigibles Of
100000 cubic feet capacity being
planned, the dirigible looms up as a
potential factor for military and naval
purposes as we'll as for aerial trans
portation.
War Good Teacher
owe have learned lot about diriei-
bles during the war, and when what we
have learned is put into effect we will
have in operation large dirigibles
capable of carrying 100 tons of useful
load each trip, and commercially oper-
ated and capable of staying in the air
for about two weeks without stopping.
"Dirigibles have progressed very
rapidly during the last eight years.
but even greater development is to
come during the coming three years.
We may expect to see dirigibles Of
100000 cubic feet capacity, of a
speed Of over 100 miles an hour and
capable Of rising to a height of 10000
feet when necessary to escape q storm
or to take advantage of favorable
winds"

R-34 and Sister Graft
Outclass Any Zeppelin
Dirigibles Are 672 Feet Long.
Garry T,Uenty Tons Each and
Speed Seventy Miles ass Hour

The R-34 and her sister ship, the
R-33, are the largest dirigibles in the
world. Each of them is 672 feet long
and 70 feet wide, or about equal in
size to the ocean liner Adriatic. The
two airships were built at Inchinnan,
near Glasgow. and the R-33 took the
air for the first time on March 1. The
R-34 had her trial flight a few days
later Work on the vessels began
many months before the armistice was
signed, but it was not until last Feb
ruary that the British Admiralty ad-
mitted that it had in prospect British
dirigibles even larger than the German
Zeppelins."
The British Air Ministry it is said
originally intended to have both ma
chimes attempt the Transatlantic voy-
age to the United States. One of the
vessels, it was planned. should take a
northerly course and the other attempt
to reach America by the southern
route, by way Of the Azores. 1t was

pairing the R-33 for the trip would take
several months, and the decision was
reached to send the R-34 alone across
the Atlantic.
Weighs Thirty Tons
The R-34 weighs about thirty tons
and 1T can carry twenty TONS Two
million feet Of hydrogen gas are re-
quired to fill it's gas chambers and it's
gasolene capacity is 5000 gallons
Four Sunbeam motors, generating 275
horsepower each, drive the vessel and
permit speed Of seventy land miles
an hour in good weather. Four glass
inclosed gondolas, built of aluminium
and wood contain the engines and liv-
ing quarters for the crew. The gon-
doas are connected by a passageway
constructed within the envelope of the
craft. They are equipped with electric
stoves, on which the crew NAV cook
their meals. Heat is supplied from
the motors and hot water from the
radiators.
The vessel is navigated from the
foremost and largest gondola in which
there is wireless set capable of send
ing messages 1900 miles and of receiv-
ing them from any distance.
The vessel normally carries a crew
OF about twenty-five men. On the trip
across the Atlantic the dirigible was
manned by four-hour watches, with
half the crew in each watch.
Gaudy in Colorings
The envelope of the R-34 has a Pc
culiarly blueish gray tinge, which
varies tn shade in each section of
plates. 1t has not glistening appear

tween both those extremes.
The five national air markings on the
envelope give the ship somewhat
gaudy appearance. About the nose of
the ship is the blue, white and red

red circle, is a red crown.
Blue, white and red circles are on
either side of the ship amdships and
another on the top of the envelope in
the centre. The tail of the ship is
streamlined into a fine points. The ex-
treme tip Of this is finished in vivid
red, which is preceded in turn by

About thirty feet in front of the
forward car there is fairly large hole
in the under part of the envelope. It
is through this that the drag ropes
are dropped, and the water ballast re-
leased. A similar hole is in the tail
of the ship behind the rear car.
On the top of the envelope there are
number of ports sticking up. Four
cars are suspended from the envelope,
the largest one forward. This is the
navigating car, and has huge glass
windows in front and half way around

 Since Sweden and Norway were sep arated in 19O5," said Larsen-L Ledet, "the friendship between the two countries has increased and has been immensely strengthened by the war.
 'Denmark and Norway speak practi- cally the same language-differing only as the English spoken in England and in the United States differs. Sweden is a trifle different, but still every Nor wegian and every Dane can understand Swedish. and every Swede can under stand Danish.

Sacramento Hill
 Being Removed

The April record of 176,OOO cubic yards for the removal of Sacramento Hill of the Copper Queen at Bisbee, exceeds all previous marks. Up to date approximately 2,0O0,O00 cubic yards have been removed, or about 40 per- cent of the total amount to be moved before sufficient ore will be uncovered to maintain a steady sup ply of ore for the new mill
 The work of taking down Sacra- mento Hill is one of the largest min- ing projects of the world; every day eighty trainloads of dirt and rock are hauled away to get rid of the waste which covers this ore body. It is a task which involves millions of dol lars, and is only possible by large operations.
 The work on the big concentrator which is to handle the ore from Sac" hill was stopped last October because of the inability to secure machinery and building materials during the war, but inasmuch as the mill prog ress was ahead of that of the mine, the delay in the mill will probably not delay the output.

COPPER
 INVENTORIES Now Rapidly Becom- ing a Live Asset Six Months Ago Was a Liability

So efficient did the copper produc- ing industry respond to wars needs and the demands of the government that, as will be recalled, the output of this country was increased by 50 per cent in 1916 over that of the previous year, and after the United States entered the war, every pos sible effort was made to stimulate production, with the result that the government was at all times plenti- fully supplied. The result, say Hay den, Stone & company, was that when the war suddenly came to a close, it found the government and the copper companies with a large surplus of the metal on their hands
 At the close of the year all the copper companies were carrying large i9yeRtariess of the metal which. at tilat stTfi1ef was practically unsaleable Iqewas therefore, entirely proper for tHem to- carry this copper at cost, or ia. lowfixed price, as their. policy might be.
 Six months ago a large block of copper was looked on as in the light of rather a liability to be lugged 9fON6 as lHlSuI pest pc OOne. The larger the inventory, the greater the burden.
 'Now~this is rapidly becoming live asset; and the greater the inventory the greater the asset The difference between the price at which copper IS carried and that at which it is sold will appear in most companies state ments as a part of the 1919 profits.
 It becomes of interest. therefore. in view of the probability of the dis, posal of this copper at a good price, to figure what this item will amount to as respects the individual com panies, which we have attempted to do in the following table:
