MINE TOWNS OF
 THE WEST SHOW
 PROGRESSIVENESS
(Continued from Page one)

Continued from Page One)
 Dodge Corporation at Dawson, New Mexico, makes an interesting compari- sen, because good housing in coal mining camps is unusual This com pany adopted its standard two years before the government undertook to make any standards. All of the fea- lures provided as requirements in government construction are included in the Dawson housing, and in many cases they have been improved upon. While the government requires 20 feet between buildings, and a back yard of 20 feet, a condition which is re- garded as revolutionary, Dawson has 30 feet between buildings and a 90 foot back yard.
 Additionally, coal pining camps are places of abominable living and sanitary conditions, and while the camps of Virginia and Pennsylvania are gradually following the pace set them by the western camps, the pro- gressiveness fthe west is illustrated by the fact that their housing stan- dards of years back are even better than those set by the government as an objective, and regarded by eastern industry as almost revolutionary.

It is now under construction at the plant of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber O., pioneers in the manufacture of airships and makers of a large per centage of the ''blimps" and dirigibles that were used by the United States during the world war
 Many secrets of the government, perfected during the war, have been placed at the disposal of the rubber firm.
 Promoters Long in Air Flight Game
 The promoters of the airship pas senger line are Ralph H. Upson, for years aeronautical engineer at the Goodyear plant, holder of the James Gordon Bennett balloon trophy in 1914 and w C. Young, veteran balloon nav igator
 They are being given both financial and mechanical support by the Good year Tire & Rubber Co.
 The dirigibles will be. from 300 to 500 feet in length. They will carry from 12 to 100 passengers. The ex- press airships will carry about 100 tons of express.
 It is estimated that the trip to New York, about 500 miles, could be made in eight hours. It now takes aobut 16 hours. A trip to San Francisco, over 2OO0 miles, and now taking four days, could be accomplished in about 50 hours.
 Rates, it is estimated, will be about three times the railroad fare
 Besides the fleet of air liners, the company has also under course of erection a sport model dirigible. It's cost will be but SSOOO. It will be about 90 feet long, contain 35,OOO GU bic feet of gas. The motor will be able to go maximum of 70 miles an hours, but the average speed will be 50 miles.
 It will seat but two persons.

ALL ABOARD! AIR LINE FOR CHICAGO, OMAHA, NEW YORK, PACIFIC, WAYPOINTS

AKRON, O., June 7.--Within a year if plans of Akron promoters hold true, giant passenger dirigibles will leave their hangars here. bound for New York. Chicago, Omaha, Canada, Flor ida, Texas and the Pacific coast.
 And if these flights are successful and the monetary returns are suffi- cient work will start upon giant air ships, even larger than the Zeppelins, capable of crossing the Atlantic, and a regular passenger service will be established between New York and London.
 These are not dreams. They are the plans of veterans of air naviga- tion. men who have spent years pilot ing balloons. airships and airplanes, and backed by. corporation that has been making dirigibles for years.
 A dirigible 300 feet long, capable of travelling 75 miles an hour in favor able weather, and 50 miles an hour in windy weather will open daily ser vice between Akron and Cleveland, O., a distance of 35 miles.
 This, however. is but the trial ser vice. If this proves successful, the service will be extended, first to New York and Chicago. and then through out the United States.
 Landing places will be obtained in the very heart of these cities, prob ably on the roofs of the tallest hotels. Unlike airplanes, which need a large landing place, the airships need but a small platform upon which to dock
 This was demonstrated recently when a 16O-foot army dirigible from the naval station at Wingfoot Lake, Akron, landed two passengers on a 30 foot platform on the roof of the Hotel Stater, Cleveland. The airship was 16O feet long.
 The first of this fleet of air liners will carry 12 passengers.
