MUSIC IN THE AIR
ISN0HAREALITY

! PULHAM ST. MARY. England. oct.
II Music In the air" is no longer
fgurative phrase.
No longer does the serenading lover
have to stand below AIilady's veranda
and play romantic music All he has
70 90 now Is to go get himself an
airship' locate himself over his
lady-love's home and while his pilot
| Juggles the ship, he can serenade.
Also on hot summers evening-if
the suitor can afford it-instead OF
canoeing up river while he plays
the madolin, he can rent an airship
ana tWang his instrument as he
whizzes through the air.
Excursion steamers will be back
numbers. Excursion airships which
will ny from London to Paris. New
York to Nigara Falls or Detroit,
chicago to- st. Paul, Minneapolis or
Des Moines in a matter OF a few
hours, will be the big attractions
they viii have everything to iffer the
steamer can, such as dancing. sing
ing, food, moonlight effects, etc.
This is the prediction Of A. Z. Hal
ford bandmaster of the British air
ship, R-33, which boasts the worlds
first aerial band.
HalfOrd, who has been in the Brit
ish army for twenty years, and
played under shellfire at the British
Front In France in 1917, says that
within three yor four years huge
supef-airships viii be built whicn
win furnish dancing and concert
music for passengers.
AT present space aboard the R-85
and R-aH Is too cramped to permit
or more than a military band of
twelve aboard" said Halford. Il have

chine gun platform Of the airship.
We gave our first concert when we,
new over London during the recent
victory loan campaign. Though some
or the men had to hang on with one
hand, we managed to give a credit
ably good performance The band
consists Of a drummer, two side
drummera, huters, and clarionettes.
1t Is hardest to play as the air
ship leaves the ground. The fitting
ance' but that viii be attended to in
time.
Music aboard airships viii be com
mon within year. When the manu-
featuring Of airships has reached the
stage where 70 will compete with
ocean liners for travel, orchestras can
be placed aboard for concerts and
dancing. The airship rides steady
and dancing win be as easy aB on
liner.
TO play aboard an airship at pres
ent, IL requires strong lungs, as the
air iB different than that encountered
on the ground. The breathing Is hard
and as the ship moves the air rushss

and it takes strong blowing to put

RETAIL MEAT PRICES
DROP IN KANSAS CITY

KANSAS CITY, June 14.-Retail
prices on better cuts of fresh beef
have dropped three to five cents on
the pound since Monday. Another de-
crease is looked for by the buyer
OF one of the big markets again next

Almost simultaneously with the de-
crease in the price of beef the mar
ket on broilers has been lowered from
ten to twelve cents on the pound in
the last forty-eight hours.
The lack of export demand and
diminished buying are said to be the
chief reasons for the drop IN beef.

crease of from five to six cents in
the wholesale price of better cuts of
beef Monday.
