Halt the Race for Size
trrom the Washington STAR }

Evidence Of the exact cause Of the
dirigible disaster in England is diff
cult to obtain owing to the COM
pleteness of the destruction and the
submergence of the wreck in the
Humber river. In fact. 1t may never
be known to certainty just what
happened. But from the statements
of eye-witnesses on the ground,
from knowledge of the condition of
the ZR-2 just before the test trip,
it Is deduced as fairly well demon
strated that one Of the girders
buckled, and this puncthred one OF
the balloonets or gas containers, or
perhaps one Of the fuel tanks, and
the explosion resulted. In short, all
that is known points to structural
defect. And it is reasonable to be-
lieve that this was no mere accident
of bad material or bad workman
ship, but was the consequence of
overextension. In short, that ZR-2
was too big for safety.
It may be that a dirigible 700 feet
in length. and proportionate in other
dimensions, can be built strong
enough to withstand the air strains
and the internal strains. Possibly
the girders were too frail for the
load they had to carry, and the fault
was, after all, one Of engineering
and not merely of size. But Is 1t
well to try the experiment beyond
the point at which 1t is known that
dirigtble can be built and safely
used? This big gas bag which fell
the other day cost approximately
$2,000,000. She is q total loss. There
is no salvage. The questions, who
Is to blame, who is to pay, are Of
less Importance now than what is
the future of the dirigible. Is there
any advantage in putting out big
ger bag with a longer radius? Has
the dirigible commercial, prac-
tical utility against the airplane that
Justif1es these experiments In magni-
tude and power so costly in terms Of
both money and lives?
On the 18th of November dele
gates Of the major nations will meet
in this city to discuss the question
OF disarmament 1t would be we'll
for the United States, on the eye of
that meeting, quietly to halt further
works in giant dirigible construction.
Whatever the outcome of the session
may be. whatever the purpose Of an
immense self-propelled, self-foating
airship Of vast size may be, there is
now ample reason for checking the
race for dimensions that has cost
so sorely.

Defends Governor Allen.

Omaha, Aug. 31.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: Your Council Bluffs
correspondent, who is evidently dis
turbed by something Governor Allen
of Kansas is reported to have said
in his address at the Chamber Of
Commerce luncheon on last Friday.
is in the position of a lot Of good
people Of Omaha; he did not hear
the address and therefore he does
not know what he is enraged at, al
though the. address was unusually
we'll reported by The Bee.
Governor Allen does not have the
undivided affections OF union labor,
we will suppose. since he insists on
putting some labor leaders in his
state in jail for violating the law.
And it is still true that,
mo rogue ere felt the halter draw
With good opinion of the law"
Governor Allen does not mince
matters in speech. He gives plain
talk in simple language that child
could understand. Union labor men
might we'll have heard what he
said about labor conditions in his
Omaha address, although his utter
ance on the labor situation was
merely incidental. The address was
on agricultural problems. 1t was in
tended for Omaha business men to
hear. And it presented vital facts
that all should know. More Is the
pity that SO few showed an interest
in the great problems which SO ma
terially concern their business and
political welfare. The splendid au-
dience which greeted Governor Allen
and appreciated his address were the
strangers within our gates.
But what your Council Bluffs
reader understands Governor Allen
to have said viz, The cause of high
freight rates is the inefficiency OF
railroad labor, and that five men are
employed to do the same work that
was performed by one man in 1917"
is not an accurate restatement of
Governor Aliens words, and wholly
misrepresents the idea the speaker
put over, Governor Allen conveyed
the idea that some rules of union
labor retard the efficiency of labor
and increase the cost of production.
Who doubts it?
In putting over this criticism of
organized labor Governor Allen is
not an apologist and does not expect
anyone to defend him. The apology
and defense are due from organized
labor H. +. M'INTOSH.

NATURE, CHEMICAL
ENGINEER.

A state senator once told me the
fish crop OF Illinois sold for more
money per acre OF fish waters than
the per acre return Of the corn erop
| OF that state.
Nelson tells us that the value OF
the annual oyster crop of the coun.
try is $4,000. .000-the equivalent OF
more than 100000 dressed steers.
There is an enormous loss OF good
minerals into tho waters every year,
Some OF this II soil fertility which
has washed away. Some Is sewage
and other organic matter drained

to recover this waste.
Microscopic forms OF nnimal and

Higher plants and animals feed on
the lower forms, converting lower
chemicals into higher. Fish eat
lower forms and In turn ire caught
and eaten by man and other higher
animals. Thus the elements wasted
Into the waters are salvaged for the
land.
The story OF the oyster tells the
tale. oysters propagate by means
Of eggs. Within six hours after fer
tilizatlon the young oyster matches.
This young animal moves about part
ly by swimming and partly by float

the surface Of the water. Presum-
ably at that point 1t get, Just the

shells. but a little padding flap pro-
jects from the shell.
About the 18th day ihe young
oyster sinks below the surface. picks
out favorable place, anchors
itself. and settles down to eat to

Whenever the water is sufficiently

WHY
Ireland Is Worlds Chief Linen

The antiquity Of linen is greater
than that Of any other textile. Its use
dates hack at least to the PharaOhs.

in cottage and castle for centuries be-:

fury linen was mentioned as one of
the principal branches ofstrade In the
country and linen was exported from
Belfast from the earliest days Of the
port. Through many phases Of his
tory the industry was fostered, but 1t
was not until after the discontinuance
Of the linen hoard in 1880 that any at.
tempt was made to introduce ma.
shinery. BY 1859 between 1900 and
1900 power looms were at work. Then
came the American Civil war and

looms were weaving linens and the
industry was firmly established. In
1912 the number Of looms had in
creased to 36,942 and the number of
flax spindles in Ireland was 924,817.
Today Ireland is the chief linen
producing center of til world. This
position is insured partly by the eli
mate Of the northeast province, which
il ideal for the manufacture Of linen,
but an equally important factor is the
hereditary skill Of the linen workers
throughout Ulster. In the days Of
Charles I premiums were offered to
induce skilled workers from France
and the Netherlands to settle in Ire
land and Irish workers were sent to
the continent to acquire knowledge of
the best methods Of manufacture.

France and Jersey settled, 1t Is said,
