Thirty-four Are Killed and
Eleven Injured When Ship
Crashes to Ground ,;
CAUSE OF COLLAPSE
BEING PROBED TODAY
Strong Demand Arises Today
That Appropriations for
Dirigibles Be Strapped
(By United PreSS)

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 22.-Army air
service experts today started their
investigation to determine the cause
Of the disaster of the American air
ship, Roma, in which "a were killed
and II injured. Flames scared the
twisted steel remains of the once
queen of the American sky, near
Norfolk today.
No one will ever know what caused
her to collapse, one officer of Lang
ley Field told the United Press. Prac-
tically every one of the "a victims
were burned to death. Indications
are that few of the men were killed
by the fall Most of the bodies were
identified by trnkets, so thoroughly
did the flames do their work of de-
structi0n.
Major Patrick, chief of the army
service Of Washington, was on the
grounds today with his court of in
quiry to determine the blame. The
court of inquiry will require several
days to complete it's investigation.
The opinion is that in making a
nose-dive, they failed to allow for
increased power in making the turn
over, and the rudder broke. This
occurred at heighth of $50 feet.
Lieut.. Burt tried desperately to sig
nal the ship, but she failed to re-
spond. He yelled to Captain Mabrey
to shut off the motors. A second Ia
ter the dirigblc thrust her nose into
mass of scrap iron and collapsed.
A huge sheet of flames shot from the
huge gas bag lifting it high in the
air.
Rescuers were unable to get near
the airship because Of the flames.
They picked up Lieut.. Kelley, who
had jumped from the machine, fail
ing to use his parachute, ..s.

THE HOME TOWN"
Why We Believe in 1t and Why We
Should BE for it.


We believe in this town because
we believe in it. We believe in it be,
cause it is a good town, regardless OF
its few defects, and it's people are the
peers of those to be found anywhere
This town may not have the wealth
of some more favored communities.
but it has character, and character
is a possession which cannot be pur-
chased with gold.
If you believe in your home town
you will like it, and if you like it no
effort toward its improvement will be
too great for you.
Again we ask you to have faith in
your, own powers; to also have faith
in your own town.
When you feel like criticisingit,
check the thought before it is spoken.
You can always find something good
to say instead, and even then the
half of the truth will never be told.
1t is a good town now, but faith,
loyalty and united action will make
it better one.
Our faith in this town, brother, is
simply faith in you, because the town
is COLLECTION of yours.
Surely your faith is not less than
ours.
Let us unite-let us actor a
more cohesive community.
1t is your home-and ours.

JUST WHAT is HEALTH?

To raise corn you must have seed
soil, sunshine, moisture, and energy
enough to plant and cultivate. Lack
ing one of these you will fail entirely
or will have a very meagre crop.
To have health you must have air,
water, food, and the ability to seper
ate and assimilate the vital princi-
pies of each.
To do this work perfectly your
lungs, heatr, liver, stomach, intes
tines, kidneys, glands and tissue cells
must have energy.
This energy is conducted to the
various parts over the nerves. If
nothing interferes health is the re-
suit. DISTINCTIONS along the nerve
pathways sometimes occur. These
