through the hangar and out into the
field for 1.500 feet at each end. Placed
on train of fatcars and secured with
tackle, the ship would have been rolled
under cover for protection.
With the gradual reduction in the
time of crossing the Atlantic bv the
ships of sail and steam that followed
Columbus for five hundred years, the
most astoni shing, coming within few
years is that made by/aircraft.

almost as buoyant as hydrogen The
navy has plant at Fit. Worth, Tex,
where helium is extracted from the nat
ural gas, the only plant OF It's kind in

There is now wasted at natural gas
plants 100000 cubic feet of helium that
inc navy could use in time Of war.
Unlike the R-34, which crossed in 1OS
hours, II minutes. in July, 1919. the
Ik-2 would not have had to nurse her
fuel supply. She carried $500 gallons
OF gasoline more than did the R-34 and
was capable Of from ten to TWENTY-FIVE
miles an hour greater speed. She had
six 350-horsepower motors, Compared
to the R-34's five Of 250-horsepower.
The course plotted for the ZR-2 was
from Howden, westward over Ireland
and then west by south around the
curve of great circle to Ncwfound
land. She was then to cross New Ing

continues, "was followed by further

The statement says the airship
earlier in the day had asked both

Al End of Her Cruise
The accident had London aghast to-
night and scenes recalling those Of the
early days of the war were witnessed
at the Air Ministry Offices. Frantic
callers, including women in evening
dress, besieged officials, striving to
learn the names of survivors and vic
TINS. The work of checking these pro-
ceeded slowly through the night.
Poignancy was added to the disaster
by the fact that the trial cruise had
been timed to end yesterday. 1t had
been intended to land the big ship at
Pulham. Norfolk, last night. but this

the heavy banks of fog along the coast.

VALUABLE PAPER

WHEN you insure your life, no matter for what
amount, the only visible and tangible evidence
OF the premiums you pay is a sheet of paper
covered with engraving. The real value of that
sheet Of paper is the soundness of the Company
behind it.
1t is the simplest form of psychology that the
paper used for the policy should symbolic the
strength and longevity Of the company that
issues it.
Many insurance companies appreciate this
point and their policies are engraved on CRANES
oond: lhls paper is made entirely of new rags,
which not only give durability, but also some
thing more-a prestige or distinction that every
insurance company recognizes and values.
