GREAT DIRIGIBLE
NEARING COMPLETION
The R-38 Being Constructed for the
American Navy BY the Royal
Airship Works in Eng
land

Washington, d. c., Aug. l3.-Latest
reports received at the navy depart
ment are that the dirigible, R'3s, now
being constructed for the American
navy by the Royal Airship works at
Bedford, England, is more than so per
cent completed and probably will be
ready to take the air by the latter part
OF November.
When the great dirigible, which will
surpass in size any airship ever con
structed, thrusts her nose out OF the
hangar at Bedford for the first time
there will be a trained .to-the minute
American crew aboard to put her
through her trial flight Several train
ing cruises on the British dirigible
R.33. offered by the British government
for that purpose, already have been
made by American naval personnel who
will form the R-38's crew and tho
mammoth airship will be manned by
experienced sailors of the air when she
sets out on her trans Atlantic fight
which, officials say, will be made next
April or May.
With a gas volumne of 2,724o00 GU
bic feet, the R-3s will surpsss, in size
the largest rigid airship yet turned out
by the Zeppelin Co, the LII by So4,
600 cubic feet and the British dirigi
bic R-34, which crossed the Atlantic
las, year, by 7ll,oOo cubic feet. Her si'
engines will develop 1850 horsepower
o. 1880 more than the most powerful
Zeppelin craft and drive the great ga
bag at an estimated maximum speeC
OF rs miles an hour.
To accommodate the 694-foot stretei
OF the K SO, the naval airship hangs
at Cape May, n. j., already had beer
heightened TO 700 feet and also in
creased in height. The two large han
CARS now under construction at Lake
hurst, n. j., probably will not be com
pleted until July, 1921, or after tn
r ,3s's arrival.

CHILD LABOR ON
INCREASE IN CHICAGO
There Are Said to Be Over Four Thou
sand More Children Working
Now Than a Year Ago.

Chicago, Aug. l3.-Four thousand
more children are working in Chicago
to-day than year ago, according to
CLYDE A. Brown, acting director of the
city vocational guidance bureau. The
increase in child labor is said to be
general in the middle west but excep-
tions are noted in Missouri, Kansas
and North Dakota.
Necessity of the child helping the
family meet the high cost of living, the
pulling power OF higher wages and
scarcity of adult labor together with
i the discovery by employers that women
and children often could take the place
of men were cited by Mr.. Brown among
reasons for a similar increase in child
labor in other parts OF the United
| States.
| Minnesota officials report that child
labor is nearly doubled in that state.
The greatest increase, they say, is
among children of the white collar"
class whose parents have been forced
by rising prices to permit their chill
dren to work About 1900 under III
wears of age are now at work in Min
nesota.
| Wisconsin statistics on child labor
| for the year are not yet tabulated but
officials say enough returns are in to
| indicate considerable increase over
previous years. Some boys under 10
years have been reported receiving 500
| a month
T. C. Jennings, Texas state labor
commissioner, reports an increase Of
about 10 per cent in Texas child labor
over last year. Postponement OF com
pulsory school attendance he says has
been factor.
State Labor Commissioner Claude h
Connally of Oklahoma says more viola
tions of child labor laws have beer
brought to the attention of his Office
this year than previously, from which
he deduces an increase in Juvenile work
ers. Connally said the increase in viola
tions was probably due to the fact
that there was 80 per cent more job
in the state than workers.
| A. L. Urick, Iowa state labor com
missioner, recently reported that ap
proximately 1000 more permits hat
been issued in the past year to chill
dren between the ages Of IA and u
than in the year previous.
Kansas and North Dakota repor
child labor in those states as slmos
negligible. st. Louis reports decrease
Children now employed in that city ar
stated to number 5000, which is 15I
less than were at work there yea
ago. The state factory Inspectors OF
fee says the decrease is general al
over the state. The federal tax on chill
labor is given as the cause of the de
crease.

The New Haven railroad stepped Tn Friday afternoon to add to the diffi- culties which the Shore Line Electric Railway has had in maintain ng troll ley service on it's suburban lines from this city, and as consequence there were no trolley cars on the line to Jewett City after the middle of the afternoon.
 A big drift beyond Round Hill in the town of Lisbon where the trolley line uses the ra lroad tracks was making trouble and the trolley road had it's snowplow and crew ready to send out. to break way through, but the New Haven road ordered them not to try it, but leave the work to the railroad snow blow which was to go north ahead of the late afternoon train from here. The railroad officials were afraid that the trolley snow blow would get stuck and hopelessly tie up the railroad traffic. The New Haven road train from the north due here at 1929 on Friday morning did not reach here until in the afternoon. but at m d. night Friday it was reported from the New Haven stat on in th.s city that they did not know of any trou- ble on the line then. The. southbotind boat train due here at 9.47 was still at Webster at midnight, held up, it was reported, by bad steaming con- dit ons because of the intense cold, and it was not known what time it would get here.
 From the report from the New Ha- ven station the prospects seem to be that the Jewett City trolleys can be

 Moatville Line Trouble.
 The Montvile trolley line had it's troubles all day Friday. Drifts piled up near the tuberculos sanatorium that called for work by the snow blows to clear the line there was an- other bad spot near Fitchs corner, and the worst spot of all was at Thames View. south of Richards grove. where the drifts were nine feet deep.
 City Lines Blocked.
 Two spots on the city lines also called for the servicss of the snow blows. One was at Park church on the Yantic line and the other was near St. Mary's cemetery on the Taftville line
 A car with passengers got stuck in drift at Preston Pla ms on the Westerly line about 4.30 Friday af- ternoon and had to have a snow blow sent after it to bring t in winch was acco Lplished after about an hour of work.
 The trolley company kept four snow blows working all day Friday and kept cars running over the res all Thursday Il ght to keep them open. The fight with the snow in or . der tos ID y all the service poss ble to the public is costing the trolley company a lot of money and it would be no surprise to the officials if the operations for February show a def cit of S20090 when Reuaiynr Robel w.
