WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The first
transcontinental airship path1nding
expedition to be undertaken in the
United States will be started early in
September when the Army dirigible
CO casts loose from her mooring at
Langley Field, Newport News, Va,
and heads for Washington on the first
leg of a flight to Ross Field, Arcadia,
Cal, and return.
The flight will be undertaken by a
crew of five in command OF Maj. H.
A. Strauss, now in charge of expert
mental and research work in aero
nautics at McCook Field. Dayton,
Ohio, The personnel will consist of
two pilots, two engineers and one ra-
dio operator. The only members of
the crew so far designated are Master
Sergeant William A. Fitch and Staff
Sergeant A. D. Albrecht, both of Air
ship Company IS, now with the CO
at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds,
Aberdeen, Md.
Itinerary Announced
The route that has been selected ap-
proximates what is believed must be
the line of fight for transcontinental
airships in the future. It's course has
been largely shaped by terminal and
hangar facilities, available hydrogen
gas supplies and low attitudes.
The total distance on the outward
flight approximates 3,0S5 miles, d.
vided into twelve legs. The route

uled stops, are;

Today's word is-COSMETICLAN
Though not yet recognized by the die
tionaries, it has been adopted by a
large and growing profession and is
coming more and more into use, as
meeting a legitimate need in a legit-
mate way.
Those who use it to describe their
occupation pronounce it-koz-me-tish-

It means-one skilled in beautify-
ing or in improving beauty, especially
the beauty of the complexion.
It comes from cosmetic" which,
in turn, is from Greek word, mean

It's used like this-"The American

WASHINGTON, Aug. Stalking
care of the faithful ones who fall by
the Republican wayside is becoming
a burden, rather than a privilege, for
the President.
Lame ducks" they sometimes call
these old-timers in Congress, who fin
ally lose contact with their constit-
uents, and are defeated at the polls.
Already the primary elections are re
vealing some lame ducks" so high
in Republican ranks and they must
have good jobs.
Notable among them are Senator
Porter J. McCumber of South Dakota
chairman of the Senate finance Com
mittee, and Senator Harry New of In
diana, political cronies of the Presi-
dent who have gene down to defeat.
More to Come
Primaries yet to come will reveal
other lame ducks" in the Senate,
while the House of Representative is
expected TO deliver a whole flock Of
them, all in position to demand lesser
they were loyal
One Of the curious things about a
lame duck" is that he never wants
to leave Washington. A few terms
in Congress and chance for his fam
lily to mingle in the capital social
whirl. make It hard for a defeated
CONGRESSMAN or Senator TO return to
the old home town.
There are in Washington a number
Of commissions and boards set up
from time to time, some important,
some merely jobs to be handled in a
perfunctory way. There is the tariff
mission, the interstate commerce COM
mission, the war finance corporation,
and others.
New Presents Question
War finance seems to be Senator
McCumber's berth. He will be re-
warded with the post of chairman. if
Eugene Meyer, present chief. can be
transferred to the Federal reserve
board.
Senator New is a more difficult
problem. The President and New
friends think that nothing is too
good for the defeated Hoosier. Some
talk says that Postmaster General
Work viii resign, thus enabling the
elevation of New to the Cabinet
Others say that New, an expe-
rienced military man, would make
good Secretary Of War. and If the
President could only maneuver Sec
rotary Mellon out of the Treasury, so
that Secretary Weeks could take that
post, the rewarding of New would be
solved
But it's a problem. for the Presi-
dent. when too many of the faithful
become lame ducks"
