the country exclaimed Mrs. ,Curfew.
II don't want to be a sunbeam, expe-
rience having taught me that can get
along better and have less trouble and
tribulation, when look as much like
a meatax as possible.
'Last evening before I went to bed
was reading book called Sunshine
Susan It was about a woman who
just made up her mind to be happy
no matter what happened. Then her
husband was brought home with
broken leg, and the two children had
number Of measles simultaneously,
and the house burned down, and the
bank in which she had deposited her
savings closed it's doors, and in spite
of Everything she went around singing
and dancing. - ~
eff i had thought it over might
have realized that it was too good to
be true. No human woman could be
gay and happy in the midst of so
many calamities. But / was in q
sentimental mood and when I turned
out the light and went to bed I thought
that ought to be ashamed of myself
for not being like Sunshine Susan, and
I made up my mind would turn over
a new leaf first thing in the morn
ing.
$50 I came downstairs smiling, and
was singing allythe time / was get

came down he said 1t warmed up his
whole being to see me in such a cheer
full frame Of mind. 1t reminded him
Of him of the time when I was sweet
seventeen, and as pretty as Dred

when 1 would have enough to go shop

enough for the queen Of Sheba.

ng to give me his note as security, and

always refused him, and nearly
| snapped his head off doing it. But that
morning l was anxious to make every
body happy, so II handed him the
money. and he went and made his
horse trade and brought home an ole
crOwbait that has been sick ever since
and he spends all his time out at the
barn, feeding it pills and powders
and I can't get him to do any of the
chores around the place.
saThe same morning Mrs. Turpentine
heard me singing in the back yard
and she thought it would be a goOC
time to borrow my patent electric
washing machine, and came over fol
that purpose. She had asked for it
dozen times before, but l always tOlt
her to go to. Being full of sunshine

INVESTIGATING CAUSE OF
 COLLAPSE OF DIRIGIBLE ZR-2

London, Aug. 25 Cby the A. P.)-om- cial investigations made today at Hull into the ZR-2 disaster failed to produce results either minimizing its extent or throwing Hght on the reason why the big airship suddenly broke in two and fell with a majority of the crew in the Humber river. All hope has been aban- doned that there are other survivors of the catastrophe than Norman O. Wal ker, an American rigger. and Flight Lieutenant A. H. Wann. the commander of the aircraft. and three other British members of the crew.
 The air ministry and the admiralty are emitting no efforts in salvaging the wreck and investigating the, cause of the collapse of the ZR-2. The sRlvags work will continue throughout the night at Hull. although it admittedly is diff cult and dangerous.
 It is presumed that a number of the officers and men of the crew of the ill., fated craft, including Brigadier General Maitland, may have been imprisoned in the gondolas by the explosion and met death there. They are believed to have been resting in the gondolas at the time of the disaster. as they had an enga cement to attend a dance in Hull arranged in their honor Wednesday night. ms was lo nave beeu III tAS nature of a farewell gathering in honor of the Americans.
 The report that the body of Comman- der Louis H. Maxfeld. U. s. N. had i been found, turned out to be inacour- ate.
 The inquest into the disaster which has been fixed for tomorrow is expected to be merely a formal opening inquiry, but the government has lost no time in l arranging an investigation into the cause of the wreck The air ministry l has convened a court which will open at Howden. Saturday. Major General Salmond, who will preside over the court, Is in command of the inland area i of the royal air force. With him will | be six other air officers. There is a general desire that the United States l should be represented on this court. and, therefore, the air ministry has in vited the American naval attache at the ! embassy here to designate some officer.
 Today officers of the air ministry were at Hull making preliminary investiga- tions and gathering all possible data concerning the catastrophe. The min | istry announces that after the court a Howden concludes it's inquiry. further | investigations will be made into the fdi
 technical aspects of the case by the S1'Ac
 cident investigation subcommittee so
 the aeronautieal research committee"
 There Is much discussion both on tn
 part of the newspapers and the publi
 as to the cause of the disaster. Specula
 ton turns mostly toward weakness o the girders of the aircraft. An investi tion is being urged to discuss the pos
 sibility of employing mixture of hel ium with hydrogen in order to proven
