BIG DRICIBLE FALLS,
THIRTY.FOUR KILLED
AIR SHIP ROMA AND CREW
FALL THOUSAND FEET TO
DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 2l.-Of the As
army air service officers, enlisted
men and civilians who left Langley
field air station at 1:45 this afternoon
on what proved to be the last flight
OF the giant army dirigible Roma 81
ale dead, the bodies of many of them
being charred beyond recognition, and
eight survivors are in the army pub
lie health service hospital here suf-
fering from shock, burns and bruises.
Flung earthward, presumably by a
broken rudder, the huge airship
plunged a thousand feet or more to
strike ground at the Hampton Roads
army base, eapsized across a high
tension electric line and burst into
a roaring furnace of blazing hydrogen
gas.
For hours after her fall, the ship
was still mass of flames from end
to end of her 40 foot mass. The
fire was feeding on the million cubrc
feet of gas that had distended the
great bag for the fight.
Barely dozen of more than two
score aboard had been picked up alive.
One died en- route to hospital. All
of those who survived the fire es-
capped by jumping as the ship struck.
The others, pinned in the hull beneath
the fallen bag, were burned to death.
Heat of the fire fought back rescuers
for hours.

He gadded about with that Dinty
Moore.
He made practice Of staying out
late
Which is a sin all women hate.
But at last when he did come home
The rolling-pin went straight for his
dome.
81 know him, st. Peter, know him
well,
To escape from me, he'd 60 to hell,
But, St. Peter, need him here
And hope that you can see your way
clear.
On earth l bore a heavy cross;
Give me, in Heaven, still Jiggs to
boss.
I've brought my rolling-pins, plates
and jars,
To keep him lodging among the
stars.
"But say, st. Peter, it seems to me
This gate isn't kept as it ought to
be.
You ought to stand right by the
opening there.
And never sit down in that easy chair.
And, say, St. Peter, my sight is dim
med,
But I don't like the way your whis-
kers are trimmed;
They're cut too wide, with sI out
ward toss;
They'd look better, narrow and
straight across"
St. Peter sat quiet and stroked his
staff,
But in spite # his office he had to
laugh,
Then said with dry gleam in his
eyes:
"Who's tending this gate, Maggie,
you or II"
Then he rose in his statue tall,
And pressed button upon the wall,
And said to the imp who answered
the call:
"Escort this female around to hell"
Slowly Jiggs turned, by habit bent.
To follow Maggie wherever she went
St. Peter, standing on duty there,
Saw that the top Of his head was
bare.
He called the old boy back and said:
"Jiggs how long have you been wed?
Thirty years" with a weary sigh)
And then he thoughtfuly added,
"Why?"
st. Peter was silent, with his head
bent down;
He raised his hand and scratched
his crown;
Then, seeming a different thought
to take,
Slowly, half to himself, he spake:
"Thirty years with that woman there,
No wonder the man hasn't any hair;
Swearing is wicked, smoking not
good,

Building Operations.

The year 1922, unless all signs fail,
IS going to be a big year for build
ing. The first touch of spring will
be sufficient to send home lovers and
contractors into the field. The sound
o. the concrete mixer and the pound
ing of the carpenters hammer will
be heard in the land. It is estimat-
ell that builders in the country have
be en- advancing construction opera
tions at the rate of $500, 100000 a
month. At a very low and conserva-
tive estimate it is suggested that the
building in the United States in the
present year will be no less than so
per cent greater than in 1921. These
figures mean, if they possess any
thing of meaning at all, that there
will; be considerable more employ
nent in the building business in 1922
over 1921. In the larger cities Of the
country in particular, stimulated activ-
ity in construction lines has been OBJ
served. New York has, more than
s54,oO0Ooo worth 2of work already
under way, Central West contractors,
it is reported, have about $24, 4,7O0,O 900
worth of projects started Of which
more than four and one-haf million
concerned industry. From every Sec
ton Of the country, in fact, has come
news of the projected revival in the
building game. It is interesting to
observe that in this array Of figures
q considerable portion Of the work is
tc be for residences. The apparent
need for more homes, added to a re-
duced cost in construction and the
longing for self-owned houses, has in
creased the desire of citizens to get
building under way.-Dayton,, Ohio

and Jiggs at the Golden Gate.

George Bradshaw, in Pere Marquette
Masazine)
St. Peter stood guard at. the golden
gate, ~ :,
With solemn mien and an cir sedate,
When up to the top Of the golden
stair
Maggie and Jiggs assembled there:
Applied for admission; they came and
stood
Before st. Peter, so great-so good,
lin hopes, the city Of peace to win,
And ask st. Peter to let them in.
Maggie was tall and dark and thin.
With a scraggy beardlet on her chin.
Jiggs was short and thick end stout
And his stomach was built so it
rounded out.
His face was pleasant and all the
while
He wore O kindly and genial smile.
The choir in the distance the echoes
woke,
And Jiggs kept still while Maggie
spoke.
90, thou! who guardest the gate"
said she,
1--WE two come hither beseechjrg thee
To let us enter the Heavenly Land,
And play our harps with the angel
band.
Of me, st. Peter, there is no doubt,
There's nothing in Heaven to bar me
out;
I've been to meeting three times a
week,
And most always I'd rise to speak"
"I've told the sinners about the day
When they'd repent of their evil way
I've told my neighbors, I've told 'em
all
Bout Adam and Eve and the Primal
fall;
I've shown them what they'd have to
do
T. they'd pass in with the chosen few
I've marked their path of duty clear
Laid out the plans Of their whole ca
reer.
"I've talked and talked to 'em loud
and long,
For my lungs are good and my voice
is strong,
So, good st. Peter, you clearly see
That the gate of Heaven is open for
me.
But, Jiggs here, !, regret to say,
Hasn't walked in exactly the narrow
way;
He smokes and swears and grave
faults he's got,
So I don't know whether he'll pass
or not.
"He never would pray with an earn
est vim,
Or go to revival, or join in hymn,
While I, the sins of my neighbors
bore,
