Advantages of Airships.
1t should be noted that for pur-
poses of short distance pleasure trips
from, for example, South Coast towns,
it would not be necessary to establish
large stations at each town, but the
following principle. which has been
found most economical and successful
during the war, might be adopted.
This consists of building station pro-
vided with permanent sheds, quarters,
ETC., at some convenient centre, and
forming temporary bases consisting
merely of a small cheap portable shed
and a few tents or huts at other
places, from each of which one or two
airships are run; main supplies being
drawn from the parent" station
where all large repairs are effected.
In addition to the use of portable
sheds at sub-stations experiments
have been carried out in mooring out
airships in the open, which have had
such large measure of success as to
promise well for the future.
An airship has been successfully
moored out for six weeks in perfect
ly open expanse to q specially de-
signed mast. Only two or three men
are required to look after the ship and
winds up to 81 phi. have been ridden
out without any damage whatever re-
sulting. There seems little doubt that
with this system an airship could live
out in the open for many months at a
time.
Up to the present this method has
only been tried with small non-rigid
airships, but it is on the point of being
tried with rigids, and there seems no
reason to expect other than equal sue
cess. The possibilities of using float
ing sheds on water are also being en-
CURED into, and appear to be promis-
ing.
improvements to Airships in the
Immediate Future.
It should be noted generally that
greater reliability as well as decreased
cost will undoubtedly be attainable by
improvements resulting from careful
research and experiment.
For example, the use of a mooring
mast will very greatly increase the
regularity of any airship service, as
the chief difficulty at present consists
in taking airships in and out of sheds.

COMMERCIAL
DIRICIBLE USE
IS UNLIMITED
According to the Report q
Great Britain.

An outline Of the report Of the
British Air Ministry which was read
recently bfeore the Aero Club of
america by Henry Woodhouse, chair
man Of the dirigible committee Of the
club, gave interesting data on the fu-
ture development Of airships for COM
mercial purposes.
Mr.. Woodhouse said: Eve must
learn to consider ships Of the air as
we do ships of the sea-" He also
pointed out that the developments Of
the lighter than air end Of the aero
nautical industry will be . great boon
10 the world. He also contended that
the Germans were not the only ones
employing the dirigible to any great
extent during the war for naval pur-
poses but that on the contrary the
British used them more extensively
than did the Huns.
The British Report.
In view Of the different characters
tics Of airships and aeroplanes, it APP
pears that the future uses Of the two
types for commercial purposes will
not conflict.
The airship is essentially long dis
lance weight carrying craft as COM
pared with the short distance high
speed aeroplane. It should be noted,
however, that even in the matter Of
speed the airship of today, with =
speed Of 77.6 m.p.h., can be considered
slow only relatively to the aeroplane,
as she is unquestionably fast in COM
parison with land and sea methods Of
transport.
In addition to this the airship has
The advantage of not being dependent
upon her speed through the air for
1er ability to remain aloft, and is not,
therefore, liable to forced descent in
:ase Of engine failure, as is the aero
plane. Quite large repairs to engines,
such as the changing Of q cylinder,
IRE possible in an airship.
The airship, then, is worthy Of con-
sideration for commercial flights over
sea or land of a wooded or broken ma
.ure, such as to be unsuitable for the
landing of aeroplanes, and on journeys
involving nonstop flights Of 1000
niles and upwards.
In addition to this, airships are the
most suitable aircraft for the carrying
IF passengers, where safety, comfort
and reliability are essential. An air
ship can remain aloft while engine re-
pairs are effected; she always remains
On an even keel, and there is therefore
no danger in flying at night or in fog
or clouds, and the great lift permits

Rear Admiral Bradley A. Frisk
u. 8. N, (retired), in an address be-
fore the Aero Club Of Amreica, p0inte
out that the United States should be
the leader in maritime aeronautics.
He has been an ardent supporter Of
aviation for some time and his work
as been noticeable in. international
aviation. His address was as follow
s:
To those Of as who read the first
message that came voer the Atlantic
cable, who saw the first electric lights,
electric motors and telephones, and
who watched the coming and the
progress Of the wireless telegraph, the
fight that tho Wright brothers made
at Kitty Hawk in 1908, seemed simply
the most recent event in long pro-
cession.
To those Of US who cruised In the
old sailing Ships carrying short
smooth-bore guns, and who saw those
ships expand into the super-dread-
naughts and the battle cruisers Of to.
day, and watched also the addition OF
new kinds of craft, destroyers, hos
pital ships and submarines, the ascent
Of large aeroplanes and air craft to
supplement the work Of water craft, it
comes as the browning touch Of tri-
umph. It comes as the browning touch
to q work greater than any other work
that the world has ever done; for in no
other department Of mans endcavor
has his intellect and his will power
and his foresight shone so splendidly
as in his conquest Of the sea.
One must be on his guard when
speaking of aeronautics to keep his
imagination in firm control; for the
temptation to let It slip away from
him is great The man who can handle
his imagination more skillfully than
any other man is the inventor: for the
inventors whole successful work is
done with his imagination which must
be carefully trained lest it lead hin,
into error; and it is as an inventor
that I speak to you. I feel little
temptation, however, to let my in,agi-
nation soar; because the possibilities
Of aeronautics are we'll known to you
and hold up pictures sufficiently beau
tiful and inspiring.
This is especially the case with
maritime aeronautics. The same
causes as those which brought about
a great number of comparatively
small number of great vessels to move
over the sea, will bring forth ocean air
craft larger and more powerful than
number. And as the greatest tri-
umphs of engineering have not been
on the land, but on the sea, $50 the
greatest triumphs of aeronautics will
be on the sea; and it is to maritime
aeronautics that we must look for
those beneficent achievements that
will most glorify aeronautics, and
most brilliantly justify its claim to the
gratitude of men.
Let US not forget that hte sea covers
three-quarters of the surface OF the
earth, and that the sea separates peo-
pies from each other much more wide

If an airship is left permanently ready
at a mooring mast in the open it will
be possibl eto fly in any wind up to
the speed of the ship.
In the same way improvements in
the fabric for non-rigid envelopes and
outer covers of rigid airships will re-
suit in decrease in running costs by
reducing the hydrogen consumption,
and generally frightening the life Of
the ship.
Similarly, a system Of recovering
water ballast during fight would OBJ
viate waste of hydrogen by preventing
the ship becoming eight" owing to
the consumption Of fuel during long
voyage. 1t will be understood that as
an airship becomes light she tends to
rise, which causes the hydrogen to ex-
pand, so that it must be allowed to
escape through the automatic valves,
or the gas bags would be burst by the
internal pressure. This tendency to
rise must be counteracted by taking
in weight to counterbalance that lost
in the fuel consumed.
During the last four years sufficient
experience has been obtained in the
construction and use of rigid airships
TO enable future developments TO De
forecasted with some assurance of ac-
curacy; and it is, therefore, possible to
consider the lines along which prog
ress should be sought, and the per-
Torrance which, within the next few
years, can be obtained from6igid air
ships.
In view Of the widely-held opinion
that the development of the large
aeroplane will ultimately kill the large
airship, it is necessary to institute a
comparison between the future posi-
bilities of both types. The result
shows that in each case certain inher-
ent qualities govern progress, and that
these qualities, being widely different,
will cause the two types to cover diff
ferent fields Of utility. It appears also
that whereas increase in size Of aero
planes brings many difficulties in its
train with no compromising improve
ment in efficiency, increase in size of
airships results in a reduction Of the
difficulties experienced at present, and
gives improved efficiency, thereby
opening up future possibilities of ex-
traordinary value.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1919-03-30

of much more comfortable accommo-
dation being provided than is possible
in an aeroplane, there being room to
move about In the case of rigid
airship, Tor example, walk of 400 or
800 feet may be taken along the keel:
The fact that the envelope is filled
with an infiammable gas need not
cause any misgivings as to safety,
when one remembers the large NUM-
Der Of motor vehicles which have been
used during the war carrying bags
filled with equally inf3ammable coal
gas at no greater distance from the
engine than in the caseoof an airship.
Official statistics snow that only one
airship has been lost in this country
owing to catching fire in the air, al
though 81, 800 hours have been flown
and over 2h million miles covered
during the war. In the case referred
to the fight was an experimental one
with new type Of ship, and the cause
has since been ascertain and eiim:-
mated.
Conditions Favorable to Airship
Transport.
Il appears that for commercial
purposes large rigid airship stations
should be established at distances of
2,OOO-3, 900 miles apart, mainly for
trans-oceanic traffic, while the aero
plane would be used for bringing pas
from neighboring countries. For ex-
ample q continental airship service
could be run. from Lisbon to New
York, passengers being taken to Lis
bon from Paris, Rome, ETC., by aero
plane. In this way the aeroplane
would compete with the train and the
airship with the steamship, over which
she would have the advantage Of re-
ducing the average time of transit by
at least 500.
In addition to this airships would be
used for linking up the railways in
such places as Central Africa, where
the country is difficult both for aero
planes and land transport.
airships are generally considered to
be fair weather craft, up to the end of
November there were only nine days
In 1918 when no airship flight took
place in the British Isles-which are
notorious for possessing almost the
worst weather conditions of any coun-
try in the world. The airship is able
to fly on days when fog or low-fying
clouds are prevalent, which might be
considered unsuitable for aeroplanes.
In long voyages, advantage could be
taken OF favorable WINDS ana the
routes chosen accordingly. Owing to
her long endurance, an airship could
afford, should depression be met
with, to fly either over or around it.
The latest German rigid airship has

Bide Dudley, Lyricist,
Discloses the Secret
Of Creating Lyrics

There are three essentials in the
1rake-up of the good writer of lyrics.
lie must have a sense of rhythm; he
must know rhyme when he meets
one, and he must have the ability ito
sav something in his lyrics.
"If he is writing for musical show
what he says should have a bearing on
the story, provided there is one, or
should at least have a good excuse
for projecting itself into the show"
Bide Dudley, who supplied many of
the lyrics for Abraham Levy's produc-
1ion of the Harbach Friml-Dudley mu
steal comedy, THE Little Whopper,"
1T the Casino, made the foreg,ino
statement when asked to discuss lyrics
Tor the Sunday Tribune. Mr.. Dudley
says he lays some claim to the rating
of poet" since it was only after he
had slipped some of his own poems
into the paner that he wos fired from
''The Atchison Globe" the Ed Howe
Kansas paper. some twenty years ago.
However, as you keen mutteri.ig as
vow ascend the Woolworth Building
that's another sto---" Well, never
mind
"In writing lyrics Tor a musical
comedy" Mr.. Dudley continued, "the
iyricist has to be guided in his selec-
ton of subjects by the book The
writer of the book-in the piece that
