Between Ourselues

We talk so much about the
weather!
When will we stop blaming it
for everything? Ailing corns,
rheumatism, slow business, cloudy
dispositions, dull vacations
and a thousand and one
other things of varied nature
are attributed directly to the
WEATHER. Recently it has been
dubbed the handiest little excuse
of the day. And it is undoubtedly
the King of Alibis.
Is it fair?.
If WE have so much cause for
complaint, what about the people
who inhabit the tropics where the
extreme torrid weather keeps their
lives and industries in jeopardy
from day to day? What vast scope
for gossip and controversy do these
hold forth. Think with what little
effort these people could develop
into expert weather g~ossipers and
conversationalists.
So far nobody has ever been
known to be able to DO anything
about the weather. In spite of all
the hard knocks and abuse to which
1t is subjected, it seems TO have
pretty much its own way.
Where are our da%untless, enter
prising reformers?.

BIC DIR|GIBLE
IN LAKEHURST
Is Being Assembled There
Parts Are Being Made at
Philadelphia Navy Yard
PHILADELPHIA

PHILADELPHIA, July ia
monster dirigible. the Fri, is being
built in the aircraft factory of the
Philadelphia Navy Yard. 1t is to be
fully as big as hal Inflated levia-
than of the air, the ZR-2, which
collapsed and fell flaming into the
Hull River in England last summer
bringing a terrible death to more
than a score of its crew. AS fast as
the parts are complete here they
are sent to the hangar at Lakehurst,
n. j., which will be the home port
of the giant airship. 1t is expected
Mat by next April the Fri will be
keady for it's first flight.
This dirigible will be the first of
the Zeppelin type to have been built
in this country. Commander Wes-
tervelt and his associates in h nav
al aircraft factory are being guided
in the construction of the Fri by
the tragedies of similar craft.
A principal difference between the
Philadelphia-built dirigible and that
which collapsed over Hull is the
strengthening Of every second dura-
luminum ring instead of every third
ring as in the ZR-2. This strength
ening is accomplished by tying each
section of the 25-sided rings (poly-
gons), which will make up the
framework, with the strongest posi-
BILE strands of copper wire. Seventy
miles of such copper wire will be
used, and the result. it is said, will
give the framework a resistance
greater even than if constructed of
steel. Duraluminum is an alloy of
aluminium and copper and is used
because Of it's qualities of lightness
and strength.
The work of assembling H. ZR-1
Is already underway at Lakehurst
under command of Commander Nor
fleet. Three of the ribs are erected
in the hangar and the keel will be
completed within a few weeks.
The envelope will be 700 feet long
and IS feet in maximum diameter.
1t will be cigar-shaped. The cloth
will be of staple back-spun cotton
one in-h in thickness. A specially
devised varnish will make it u and
and waterproof. Nineteen balloon
cts which will furnish the lifting
power are being built at Akron, o.
These will have a total gas capacity
of 2,700,000 cubic feet. 1t IS not
considered likely that helium tnon-
mrflammable gas can be used because
I the immense quantity h a would
TFSs necessary.
( III Originally the intention was to
4 Buip the Fri with sever Liberty
I Engines capable of developing a
total of 2,1oO horsepower. but navy
experts are experimenting with a
new type of motor, the specihca-
tions of which are not being MADE
public, but which likely will be the
type used.
When the Fri is completed, ex-
perts say it will have power TO
cruise third of the distance
around the world without having 10
descend. 1t will have a lifting pow
er of IS tons. The average speed
it is estimated. will be so miles an
hour, its maximum 10.
Quarters for the officers and the
men will be along the kcelway ex.
tending almost the entire length OF
the ship. They will have 2 width Oh
eight feet and a height OF seven
