|lpon Theodore. Roosevelt was that he was impulsive and impetuous, that he acted without thinking He would have been the last to claim infallbility. His head did not turn when fame came to him and choruses of admiration sound ed in his ears, for he was neither vain nor credulous. He knew that he made mistakes and never hesitated to admit theu~to be mistakes, and to correct them or put them behind him when satished they were such. But be never wasted time in mourning, explaining or vainl, regretting them. It is also true that the middle way did not attract him.

AMERICA ID BUILD
 ZEPPELIN TYPE 0F
 RIGID DIRIG|BLES
Improvements Would Be Made and the Subject Taken Up Where Ger
 many Left Off
By Associated Press

Washington, February 9.--A project for the construction of an experimental rigid dirigible balloon of the type familiarity known as the Zeppelin, was in cluded in the plans of the navy department when the pending naval appropriation bill was submitted to Congress. It would have cost several million dollars and a part of the scheme would have been the bringing to the United States of one of the most modern German air cruisers as a model.
 The House eliminated this provision from the bill but naval officials said today they hoped the Senate would re- store it They believe future develop ments with lighter-t -than-air craft Will be great both for military and com mercial purposes, and are anxious to
  European countries may do in this re- gard.
 The premature announcement yester- day of the departments plans for a transatlantic seaplane flight brought out the fact that the navy is looking forward to the lighter-t than air devel- opment as well as extended usefulness for seaplanes. No additional details of the coming flight were available to- day but it was clear that the depart ment's experts regard the attempt as practically certain of success.
 Commander Tower, whose assign ment to the transa tlantic flight pro- ject disclosed the story, has not mads any announcement of his plans. Based on the use of existing equipment, the present intention Is to stop at the Azores for refueling, but naval men said today that important improve ments now being worked out might make possible a crossing in one sus- tained flight of 20 hours or there- abouts.
 DETAILS OF EXPERIMENTS
 Details of the experiments under way have not been disclosed but they are known to include efforts to in- crease the power and fuel economy of the big trlple-motored planes of which the navy already has several In actual
 
 tor to obtain this result are involved.
 As~to the proposal to build Zeppe- lin. 1t was learned that British plans for a transatlantic flight with this type of aircraft, recently much dis cussed in the British press. have been indefinitely postponed. It is regarded as probable that unforeseen difficult ties have arisen with the first of score or more Zeppelins Great Britain ordered before the war ended.
 During the war a joint army and navy board had under consideration by direction of Congress the question of Zeppelin building for the Ameri- can forces. AS the army had no inn mediate use for this type of craft, how ever, the project was ultimately turn ed over to the navy. Officials decided that for war purposes 1t was too ex- perimental to Justify any considerable diversion of building facilities and ma terials but now there is an oppor- tunity to start from the point where the Germans left off. It was said that if Congress finally authorized con struction the effort would be to turn out an improvised cruiser. not to copy the German designs.

about were lofty mountains. As the
shades of evening settled down upon

tains and pinned them with a star, the
bold outline of the noble range stood
out in impressive silhouette against
the southern sky. Nearby a tinkling
trout stream flowed over leagues OF
pebbly shore on its way to meet the
sea. In the distance n waterfall, heecy
as bridal veil, fell in tumbling cas-
cades down the rough face Of a preci-
pice. In the arching concave Of the
heavens hung the dim crescent Of the
silvery moon.

evening darken, darken, darken into |

ed to brood across the world. Sudden
ly, from far up on the sloping sides of |
the mountain, we heard mournful,
wailing call that mingled with the
winds like the blare of u |
far-of bugle. From still higher on the |
shoulder of the great mountain wall
came an answering note that was borne
on the night breezes like wandering
echo.
