ZION CITY, Ill, Nov. 4.-From

the aim of Albert w. Lawson, aero
plane manufacturer, who has under
construction what he considers the
present "1ast thing" in airships.
According to Lawson, 1t Will be
everything desired in comfort and
speed.
.The new ship will have a speed
of 12o miles an hour" said Lawson.
"She is equipped with tanks which
carry 500 gallons of gasoline on the
regular trips of twelve hours each,
but in case the airliner should need
to make a fight of from twenty-four
to thirty-six hours duration, auxiliary
tanks could be placed on for such
purposes.
"Fhe new ship could go into the
air at San Francisco at p. m. Mon
day and not come down until she
arrived in New York City on Tues
day evening at 6 O'Clock or there
abouts.'
The new airliner, which Lawson
believes will surpass the German

by jury. He gave bond to pay So
monthly for the child's maintenance
for twelve years and SIS to the nurse
who attended its mother.
On Monday the case of Eric G..
Johnson VS.. Howard Brown, was put
on trial before a jury. The suit
grew out of the sale of mill prop
erty and 80 acres of land, near Cal
vert, owned by the defendant, to the
plaintiff, through the Oxford repre-
sentative of the Strout Farm Agency.
The plaintiff alleged that warranties
were given in the contract or agree
ment fort sale as to the good con-
dition of the mill machinery and the
dam which misrepresented their con-
dition. Mr.. Johnson bought the
property for $4,000, paying $4,000
and giving mortgage for $4,000.
Later he brought suit for damages,
claiming $4,000. The original con-
tract or letter of instruction TO the
Strout agent at Oxford was not pro-
duced, and counsel for the plaintiff
entered a non-suit.
Court then adjourned until the
third Monday in June.
