IDLE BRITISH COMPEL
TOWN TO FEED THEM
Police, AWed by Direct Action"
Threat, Induce Council to
Double Taxes.

London. - Growing seriousness OF
Britain was emphasized by the action
of the unemployed in the city of Nor
| witch in awaiting themselves of the pro.
visions of the existing poor law and
demanding support from the local
guardians" These are the officials
who administer relief to the needy,
charging the cost upon local taxes.
The "guardians' recently decided
not to increase the scale of relief
work in Norwich on the ground that
the taxpayers were unable to afford
it, but the chief of police notified them
he had received a communicate to
the effect that, il help were not grant
ed the unemployed had determined to
use direct action" He declared the
police did not desire any disturbance
of public order, and, under this threat,
the guardians" yielded and doubled
the taxes applicable to feeding the
poor IN doing SO, the chairman of
the "@uardjans' remarked ii was the
first time in the history of the city
that the police had been oyeraWed by
threats from the unemployed.
The burden thus placed upon the
taxpayers has caused dismay, anil the
eject of the new order can be esti-
mated from tie fact that the addi-
tional taxes, added to the already
high rates in force for all purposes.

The people of Norwich declare it
is impossible for them to pay such

The action of the unemployed at
Norwich accords with advice persist
entity given by labor eaders and fol-
lowed at many places, though with
less serious result than in Norwich
The Daily Herald, which is the mouth
piece of labor, says, relative to the
situation:
There is no alternative. The I'M

starve, and they have proved that, in
the poor law, they have a weapon to
enforce justice The increastd taxes
will be disastrous to thousands of
people, but will compel the adoption

Coclrane, Ont.-The shrill wall Of Il
moose dog caught in a trap at Ship
sands, near the mouth Of the Moose
river, brought to safety the three
American airmen, Lieutenants Hinton,
Farrell and Kloor, who were blown
500 miles in a balloon from Rockaway
Beach, N. Y, by Il gale which swept
across the continent on the night OF
December 10 last.
The three officers in the balloon, ig-
norant of whore they were, sought
vainly for signs of habitation in the
wilderness about the shores Of James
bay. Then their ears caught the wall
OF the dog. Jumping Immediately to
the conclusion that the sound marked
the presence of some dwelling, they
pulled the rip cord of their balloon
and descended at Shlpsands, where the
HudsOnS Bay Company first establish
ed post in the wild lands about the
bay.
The landing place is upon Ships Is

Navy Air Terminal Will House
Two Giant U. S. DirigibIeS
Now Building.
MANY WONDERFUL FEATURES
Monster Doors Are Opened and Closed
by an Electric MISUNDERSTANDING
Would Cover Three Ordinary
City Blocks.

New YOrk.-America's first great
terminal for giant aircraft is nearing
completion at Lakehurst, n. ].
The structure, the largest of its kind
on earth, is SOB feet long, 264 feet
wide and 19J feet high. Some idea of
its immense size may be CLEANED
from the fact that if set down In
city the hangar would occupy three
solid blocks. Its doors at each end
stand more than 175 feet high and are
264 feet wide. A 16-stOry skyscraper
could be pushed through the space
/ disclosed by the doors when they are
opened.
The hangar Is officially known as
| the United States navy airship hangar,
and represents the latest word in con-
structiOn for buildings Of this type.
| 1t is planned to have 1t ready in the
early summer to house the two giant
! dirigibleS now under construction, the
FRI, building at League island navy
| yard, Philadelphia, and the ZR-2, near
ing completion in England. The trans
Atlantic flight of the latter is sched-
uled for late in July or early in Au-
gust, and the Navy department plans
to have the hangar completed for
service before the airships are ready
to sail.
Giant Moorlng Mast Feature.
Incidental to the hangar is a gigan-
tic moOring mast to which great

practicable to house them inside the
hangar. The mast is so constructed
that the giants of the air will be
mOOred, bow on, and will swing in
the direction of the wind, thus avoid
ing the dangerous force exerted by
high winds.
The result of experiments with the
Lakehurst mOOring mast will deter
mine the policy Of the Navy depart.

masts at various air stations through
out the country, such as Chicago, St

Columbus, o., and Sap Diego.
The new airships nearing compile
ton are Of such large proportions
each being 700 feet long and IS feet
In diameter, as large as many Of the
great ocean liners, that the manner Of
docking" them presented serious
problems in engineering, but 1t is be
lieved that the Lakehurst hangar will
go far toward solving many of these
problems.
Door Leaf Weighs 800 Tons.
First in importance came the ques
ton of doors to the hangar. Each lea
of the two doors, there being TIVE
leaves to a door, is made up of so
tons of steel and corrugated asbestos
These leaves are supported on con
crete trucks which in turn rest OF
wheels the size of those on a freigh
car. The leaves are rolled apart b,
a 25-horsepOwer electric motor. 1
man-power were needed to open tn,
doors, it is estimated that 800 mel
would be called on.
Naval experts calculate that tn
giant doors can be rolled wide opel
within 10 minutes and the entire proc
ess Of housing one Of the dirigible
will consume approximately 40 min
utes.

Build Worlds
Biggest Hangar

Running lengthwiSe through the
hangar is a railroad and three trolley
slots technically described as docking
rails. The dirigible about to enter the
hangar will be cablefastened to these
rails, which extend on a 1,5OO-fOot run
way at either end, and guided to its
berth.
Under the roof among a network of
steel rafters, five monOrail cranes sup
port movable platforms which enable
wOrkmen to repair an aircraft after it
has locked. These rafters are so far
above the floor of the hangar that the
wOrkmen resolve themselves into mere
specks.
SO large are the glass windows In
the sides and the roof that individual
motors are necessary to open each
window.
