the war ended. When hostilities
ceased the British were left with a
number of giant craft under con-
struction in addition to the R-34
which made the fight to New York
and back. 1t was decided to stop
work on these and salvage all that
had been done, and the United States
then stepped in to obtain by purchase
the ship most advanced in construc-
ton, British R-3S, which was to be-
come the ER-2. Designation of the
vessels in numerical order, in what
appeared to be the reverse of the or
der of construction, is accounted for
that fact.
The chief reason for purchase of
the British ship, it was explained,
was on the old engineering axiom
that better progress is to be made if
two of any new type of any mechan-
ical device are worked up for test
simultaneously than if only one pilot
design is completed. Had all the
Had all the eggs been placed in the
ZR-2 basket in this case, it was
pointed out, the navy would have to
begin again at the grass roots in de-
velopment of this arm of the aerial
fleets of the future.
As it is, construction of the Fri
is proceeding unaffected by the ZR-2
disaster, although it was said to be
going slowly by reason of reduced
appropriations for the navy this
year. Practically all of the dura-
luminum for girders of the ships
frame work has been produced and
is now in process of fabrication into
the lattice work frame members at
the Philadelphia aircraft plant of the
navy; contracts have been let for the
eighteen gas bags which will furnish
the lifting power and the keel of the
ship will be laid within few months
at the Lake hurst IN. j. hangar
built to house both the FRI and
ZR-2. The frame members are being
cut and assembled at Philadelphia to
be knocked down when complete and
shipped to Lakehurst where they will
be reassembled and placed in the ship
The gas bags are designed for Ell
Their hydrogen or the new, non-explo-
sive but highly expansive hellium
gas discovered during the war. At
present plans call for the use of by
drogen because of the excessive cost
of producing sufficient hellium to fill
the bags to their full 100000 cubic
feet capacity.
The IRIS GAS feet in length and
rs feet in diameter practically dupli-
cate the standard German practice
as shown in the Lao, which was pro-
duced after the Germans had operat-
ed some 14O air craft of the Zeppe-
lin characteristics in actual service.

In speed, however, the American
craft is expected to exceed the sixty
mile maximum of her German proto-
type due to the use of higher power.
Present plans call for the use of six
Liberties, each in separate car, as
against original plan for five engines
two of them driving the stern pro-
pellor and mounted in the after car.
The motors were designed to deliver
400 horse power each for airplane
use, but for employment in the FRI
will be reduced to 800 horsepower
each with consequent improvement
it is said, in economy and reliability
, of operation.
While the Fri will have virtually
| 100000 cubic feet less gas capacity
than the ZR-2, her lift is expected to
equal the Sc ton pull of the British
trans Atlantic R-34 and to be about
81 tons less than ZR-2. The Amer
lean designers have been unable as
yet to make what they regard as &C
curate calculations as to the useful
load, the tonnage in excess of her
own weight equipped for flight, the
new ship will be able to carry.

tensity which are very slgnlfcan'
and hopeful" he said. The Japa-
nese language had word expressing
house and household, but they had
no conception of home life in the oc-
cident, where women are on an equal
footing with men. This is now eX-
pressed by "katei," with the new APP
probation of home as thing to be
shared by husband and wife and the
gradual rise of the Japanese women
to the position of their American and
British sisters"
DR.. Haden said that the city popu-
lation of Japan is increasing thirteen
times as fast as that of the country,
due to the change of industry from
agriculture to manufacturing. More
than 100000 are engaged in factory
work and in excess of half of these
are under 90 years of age, he said.
"A significant and interesting in
dication of the change in progress in
japan now is the fact that while the
Japanese women retain the kimona
as their chief attire, they have dis
carded the obi-the folded square OF
cloth worn on the back-and over
their kimonas many of the women
now wear a full, divided skirt, which
ties aronud the waist, with a wide
sash and hanging at the side," Dr.
Haden said. "Many of them also
wear shoes instead of their sandals
divorce laws also have been re-
vised in accord with other transitions
Formerly a man could send his wife
back to her parents without excuse
or explanation. This act constituted
legal freedom for him. Now he cay
only divorce her for infidelity or by
agreement with her. The woman a.
vet has no recourse against the inf
deity of her husband, not ever
though he bring a concubine into thu
home, as frequently has been done.
"The example of Americans, theil
homes and schools in Japan, gradual
ly has altered the hearts and feelings
of the japanese until they have beer
induced to effect these changes"

zR-2 WILL BE PUT
To TEST DESPITE
. SISTERS TRAGEDY

Washington, Oct. Loss OF the
giant British built airship ZR-2 with
many lives on her trial trip in Eng
land has not thus far caused any
change in plans for the FRI now
building for the navy. The two de-
signs were so dissimilar, it is said by
navy officials, that the wrecking OF
the ZR-2 carried with it no lessons
so far as now known to be woven in
to construction of the FRI as a safe
guard against similar disaster to
that vessel.
The Fri, it is explained, is the
American navy's pioneer project in
airship construction of the rigid
type and the vessel follows very
closely design of the German Zeppe-
lin LAG, captured intact in France
during the war. Modification to per-
nit installation OF American made
propelling engines and few other
changes were necessary, but navy
officials regard the Fri as practi-
cally reproduction of the Lac which
was proven by the Germans as safe
and reliable craft with all stresses
and strains demonstrated in actual
fight under varying conditions.
1t was the purpose of the navy eX-
perts to make the Lac, which was
almost the last word in German war
experience construction, the starting
point for American development Of
lighter than air rigid war craft. Or
the experience gained in operation OF
the Fri operation it is planned tc
base future improvements or increas'
es in size.
The ZR-2 on the other hand, rep
resented the last word in British en-
gineering progress over German
originals and the disaster to the Brit
ish built vessel, officers here feel, on
ly tends to confirm the decision t.
attempt no UNEMPLOYED field of con
struction in turning out American
Zeppelins, but to proceed from on
well established model to the mex
improvement slowly and so on stel
by step to what ever the ultimate
lighter than air cruiser of the futur'
is to be.
Plans for the purchase of the ZR-'
in England came after the war, Will
designs for the FRI were well il
hand at the navy department befor
