Dol. Hensley Tells About Airships Which Now Maintain Regular

By Associated Prs

 Washington, January 17.-commer- eial air navigation is coming and the United States must prepare to meet that issue, declared Colonel William c. Hensley in a report to the air ser vice, United States army, from Ger many, where he is studying dirfg- ibles.
 "Airships are now possible in any kind or condition of weather" Colo mel Hensley wrote "No weather con ditions, except a strong -cross hangar wind prevent the Bodensee, the com mercial air-liner built since the ar mistice by the Zeppelin Airship cor poration at Frederichshafen on Lake Constance, from making its daily flight (S90 miles. to Staaken, ls miles from Berlin.

 crews have been lost, but let 1t be kaid to the eternal credit of the man ywith the fixed idea and of his subord- mates, that not a single passenger carried on a zeppelin airship has been injured or killed-and to date the@total carried has reached the sum of 140, 900. This statement does not mean that casualties will not occur. Irresponsible boys can take airships in the air and bring them down in flames in the heart of a large city, or careless ot- ficers and men may explode dirigible on the ground and burn a number of spectators; but we can at least conduct our service along scientific, known principles, that can be obtained from an intimate study of the German methods, and thus minimize the number of disasters.
 America Is by nature the chosen spot of all the world for commercial airship work; with her great expanse of territory within, with her far flung territories and insular possessions, with her commercial possibilities in Central and South America, with her centers of population disposed so as to require more rapid transport than yet in opera tion, with her push and energy that bids for supremancy in all things good, with her supply of helium unequalled in all the world should bed strong for that which is, unquestionably. her way in the path of progress

Girls Just Fibbers
Not Liars, Opinion
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
London, (by mail)-The feminine
of liar" is "fibber."
1t sounds paradoxical, but Canon
Peter Green says it is so. He was
addressing the Liverpool police court
on Juvenile Crime.
"A criminal boy ne said, is sill
ly. A criminal girl is worse. There
il nothing to equal a girl who has
got off the right track. Bad boys
tell lies which can be spotted, but
girls lie connectedly, circumstantial-
ly, and in a most interesting and
probable manner, which takes infin-
ite knowledge and wisdom to discov-
er The crimes of boy offenders
convince me that their offenses are
the outcome not of badness, but
Stiffness and imbecility"
Canon Green ascribes this differ
ence between boy perverters and
girls of the same ilk, to the gentler
criticism meted out to the frail sex.
IF a boy in school is found out
in deception he is proclaimed a
liar, and boys are trained from ear
ly days to despise liars. The term
is deemed too harsh for feminine
offenders, and the most they are
ever found out is 'fib Girls will
continue to fib light-heartedly, with
never a blush when they are found
out. This becomes habit. And
girls fib so efficiently that before
loag they are convinced of the truth
OF their own untruths and will add
to "a story with limitless magma
tion, never once garbling the yarn,
until it reaches a perfectly plausible
and possible finish"
