signed on present principles art definitely known. Technically, it + an accepted fact that an airplane cannot be produced which is capable of transporting a commercially ade- Quate load for a longer nonstop flight than 1000 miles. For practical purposes 500 to 800 miles are re- sarded as the workable limits
 But the prospects of airsh1ps ar+ much less easy to diagnose. It Is recognized that rigid airshirs can fly for distances of 2,50O miles carrying a commercial load of approximately fifteen tons and that they are enabled to undertake long flights now be- Neved to be impossible Of attainment by airp1anes.
 Every increase in the size of air ships is accompanied by greater rela- tive efficiency, but the medium sized airships have greater advantages, l. is said, than is generally supposed. For example, the North Sea class of 800 horsepower is capable of transporting a load of more than three tons, whereas the four engined giant airplane of HOO horsepower is able to lift less than four tons and burns twice as much gasoline.

Sooner or later the storms shall beat, Over my slumbers from head to feet Sooner or later the winds shall rave In the long grass above my grave. I shall not heed them here I lie Nothing their sounds shall signify, Nothing their headstones fret of rain, Nothing to me the dark days pain. I shall not feel in that deep laid rest The sheeted light fall over my breast, Nor ever note in these hidden hours The wind-blOwn breath of tossing flowers. Sooner or later the stainless snows Shall add their hush to my mute repOse; Sooner or later shall slant and sniff, And heap my bed with dazzling drift. Chill though that frozen pail may seem Its touch no colder can make the dream That rocks not the sweet and sacred dread Shrouding the city of the dead,
 Sooner or later the bee shall come And fill the noon with it's golden hum, Sooner or later on half-p0ised wing The blue-birds warble about me ring Ring and cbirrup and whistle with gIee, Nothing his music shall seem 10 me; None of these beautiful things shall know How solemn their lover sleeps below Sooner or later far out in the night,
 The stars above me shall wing their flight: Sooner or later by darkling dews
 Catch the white park in the silver ooze- Never day shall part the gloom
 That wraps me round in the kindly tomb; Peace snail be perfect for lip and brow
