Not Enough Respect Shown
Ancient Ancestors, Joseph
Conrad Declares.
by DAVID M. CHURCH,
International News Service.

LONDON. Nov. 3o.-Modern man
hasn't enough respect for his cave
man ancestors.
This is the belief of Joseph Conrad.
whose books Of the sea and life In
the raw are accepted as among the
BEST in modern literature.
Conversation with regard to the
feasibility of q universal language
led up to Conrad's observations on
our primitive ancestors. He had
been discussing the manner in which
he learned English and the methods
which he followed in bringing him.
0elf to cast aside his native Polish
tongue to become a writer of most
beautiful English 1t was suggested
% the author that perhaps q uni.
versal language might aid In bring
ing about a community Of nations.
~"I do not think that will ever be
possible" said Conrad. II arm GER
tainly inclined to be afraid OF any
such experiment. There are 80 many
shades Of meaning in every language.
Besides, do not think that lanauase
- the biggest barrier betwee4 ma
tons. And language must possess
IN individual genius.
'Those old caveman ancestors
were quite right. They simply used
language to express themselves.
whether the people In the newt cave
could understand or not.
"I am often quite shocked at the
Gisrespect we show our primitive
Ancestors. They may have possessed
they did generally use 1t In a differ.
Snt manner from force Of circum.
stances"
Although his books are many, Con-
tAd. at the age of sixty-five. has Jus;
completed his first play, and II has
been produced In London.
Unlike most authors. Conrad failed
% attend the first performance of his
first play. Mrs. Conrad did the fam.
1ly honors, while Conrad sat In the
0mokeroom Of his hotel and poured
out clouds Of smoke. He awaited
the verdict Of the critics on "The
Secret Agent" The verdict was
kindly, but not too fulsome.
Conrad himself admits that he
doesn't IKE the theatsr. and he is
not enthusiastio about the work Of
. playwright.
= the rehearsals of his play, al.
ehough he did 30 occasionally to the
theater. the first time In many years.
Il am . prose writer" he would say
with q wave Of his hand when the
producer suggested that he interest
himself In changes in the drama.
His interest was aroused. however,
when he saw the dress rehearsal.
3ut Il was not the line Of the play
that aroused him. nor the acting. Q. II.
was an old type Of sailor cap worn
~ one Of the actors. "I must have
that hat; haven't seen one, for years.
not since myself wore one at sea-"

THOUSANDS SAVED
BY RADIO APPEALS
Coast Guard Wireless Chain
Averts Disasters, Rescuing
Ships and Victims.

WASHINGTON. March l1.-Radio
systems, strung along the coasts in a
veritable network, saved untold lives
last year.
Commander w. +. Reynolds. Chief
OF the Coast Guard Service, says per-
lection of the radio in life-Saving
and in preventing ship disasters at
sea IS one of the wonders Of the age,
Strung along the coasts for this
service there are 2.24O miles of tele-
phone lines. made up of $500 miles
of overhead line and 440 miles of
cable
over these wires information Of
marine disasters is transmitted and
quick summons are conveyed that
bring revenue cutters and other res
cue ships 10 distressed vessels. bear
ing their loads of precious lives.
Though the Coast Guard is main
tanned by the government AT small
cost the service rendered assistance
last year to vessels valued at more
than $50. 900. 600. These vessels as
sisted had on board at the time Of
mishaps 14.O1S persons. B e ST 3
these / .621 persons were rescued by
coast guard officers or enlisted men
from peril in water disasters.
The coast guard is covering a wide
range of public service Warnings are
sent to vessels at sea telling OF i'm
pending dangers, and close co-opera-
ton has been established with other
branches of the government in pa
troll or coast waters and in the en-
forcement Of the customs and other
laws.

cause It is so rare and so expensive
10 purify. II costs fully 100 times
as much as the hydrogen gas now
used.
Helium supply Limited.
Moreover, it weighs twice as
much as hydrogen and is deficient
in lifting power. It's only known
source Of quantity supply is from
natural gas by liquefactiOn and dis
tulation.
Hydrogen is safe enough if a
non-inhammable envelope is used.
Asbestos is not strong enough. No
fabric can be fre-proofed thoroughly
enough by any process yet discov-
cred.
a metal envelope seems the only
practical thing But il has not been
sufficiently developed. Eventually !
thing duralumin - aluminium with
alloys-will be developed so that it
can be used not only for the frame
work, as IN Zeppelins, but also as
envelope covering.
THE gasoline used as fuel Is even
more dangerous than the hydrogen
in the gas bag. To realize this. one
has only TO remember numerous
cases of airplanes being burned up.
Seek New Combination.
Experiments are being made with
kerosene or still heavier oil as fuel.
This would avoid the danger Of va
ported gasoline from a leaky car
bureto or a broken fuel line.
There is mistaken impression
among many people that explosions
caused the Roma and ZR-2 disasters.
Hydrogen gas unmixed with air is
not explosive. Explosions do not oc-
cur in airships except minor ones
due to gasoline tanks; the gas bag
itself does not explode.
THE big danger of hydrogen is
simply that when a fire starts the
infammable fabric of the envelope
burns and the hydrogen gas ignites
as it cores out-that is, when il
becomes mixed with air. To pro-
duce such a fire there must be
spark or flame exactly at the juno
ion-simultaneOusly-of the hydro
gen and the air
This combination was perfectly
fulfilled in the ZR-2 and Roma dis
asters In the latter case the ship
colllded with high tension wires
which tore open the envelope and
simultaneously set fire to the escap-
ing gas
