Washington, Jan: 27--Within
the largest SINGLE room in the
world-the hangar built by. the
United States Navy at the Naval
Air Station at L.akehurst, n. J.
-Americ's first large ''home- built
rigid airship, the FRI, is now
under construction. ..
Lessons learned from European
builders, augmented by those
gained through It's own experienc-
es, have enabled the Navy De-
partment to plan and start con-
struction on its first Zeppelin type
ahship, which. the department
believes, will be the foundation
for. the nations future success. in
commercial and naval aviation,
Several years have been re-
quired for equipment and construe
ton of the plant, before work on
the big Ship could begin. Con-
struction OF one single room. with
a clear floor space of SOL feet
by 264 feet, and l92 feet in height
was one Of the problems to be
solved by engineers before worF
on the ship could itself be begun.
The building, now completed, is.
unit in one Of the most COM
plete naval air stations. in, the
world. To this station America
will look for most of her future
development in lighter -than-air
construction and maintenance.
The magnitude of the build

parison, but when the depart

canine floor, skirting the edges
of the big room, there is space
for gas storage room, a large

Bureau Opposes
Road Bond Plan
Farmers Federation. However
Adopts Resolutions Fayoring
Proposed Gasoline Tax

Charlottesville, Va, Jan. IL
At the closing session of the cor
ivention of the Virginia Farm Bur.
eau Federation here the follow
ing resolution was adopted re-
Carding the proposed bond issues
for road Improvement:
eve recognize the Importance
and the value OF 4 system of i'm
proved roads, both State and To-
IcaI, which will meet the enlight-
ened demands of a growing and
progressive commonwealth, and
we believe that such system
should be built as promptly as
qay be consistent with u just con-
sideration of that economy which
should be exercised in public as
well as in private expenditures.
We further believe that such
reasonable economy cannot be eX-
erciSed under present conditions
by any agency we have, or could
create, if charged with the re-
sponsibility for the immediate ex-
penditure of large sums of money
arising from bond issues following
one upon the heels of another in
the construction of a vast system
of roads within a very short per-
iod at practically war costs.
1--WE believe that such policy
now entered upon is inherently ex-
travagant. We would be in the
position of creating a debt for
the building of roads on the high
est basis of cost which, according
to all human experience, we will
be called upon to pay, with Its
interest, iii dollars which vii!
have q much larger buying power
and which will be much harder to
get than those we are eXpendmg.
"Under such conditions, we feel
that the safer plan for road build
ing is in the pay-as-yau-go sys-
tenn, which would be expended to
proportions sufficient to insure
a liberal road program. The gas
oline tax, for reasons which must
be apparent, is the most logical
and the most equitable OF all taxes
fcy road building. The direct tax
for road purposes might be IN
creased if necessary. The tax ON
intangible property, which was
reduced at the last session oil the
Legislature, thereby causing a
shortage from that source OF hall
4 million dollars, might be read
iusted in perfect fairness so as
TO Weld a substantial increase in
our revenue.
"There are other sources OF
rovenue which are available, such
as non-essentials and luuries:
These things, we believe, could and
sbould be utilized, rather than
give blanket mortgage on the
State, the final satisfaction OF
which might embroil the State in
difficulties akin to, or even worse
than. those still within the mem

best Offering to the screen. Its en-
tertainment qualities are its strong
est recommendation but underneath

picture really worthwhile from every
and any viewpoint. "Grandma's
Boy" is a lesson in acknowledges
IN moral courage and natural trust.
Lloyd as the bespectacled nineteen
year old baby IS a cure for any sort
Of blues. HIS antics are hilariously
funny and yet not silly or meaning

The story OF the play is told in
