ONE PASSENGER
BABY BALLOON
|SSUCCESS
Dayton Aircraft, Smallest in
World, Folds Up So a Man
May Garry It.
BY DEAN NORRIS,
Cosmopolitan News Service.

DAYTON, Ohio, July 1s.-Three
employees at McCook field have
built and are testing the smallest
passenger-earrying balloon in the
world. It has a gas capacity Of
only 5000 cubic feet and is made
to ascend or descend by means of
a hand-driven propeller.
The balloon and it's passenger are
balanced to within four pounds by
means of ballast. The gas and the
propeller do the rest.
Prevailing winds are depended
upon for cross-country flying.
This little jumping balloon has
been tested at all attitudes up to
5000 feet and it has ct all times
worked beautifully, according to the
pilots. It is now planned to send
her to 5000 feet and see how it
will behave.
The balloon was built as a sport
ing proposition by three licensed
Air Service officials saw in it posi-
bilities for training balloonists and
airplane pilots. and the little jumper
was patented through Air Service
channels. 1t was built for private
purposes, however, and following a
series of long tests others will be
built for training in parachute
jumping.
1t costs about SIS to fill 1t with
gas and, folded up, one man can
carry 1t. Flights of fifty miles or
more have been made with the
jumper. 1t is so simple of opera
ton that one can take it up in
perfect safety with ten minutes
instruction" it's sponsors say.

REGARDEDAS
UNLIKELY
Administration Officials Have
Given Up Hope of Having 1t
Accepted by Powers.

Administration officials today ad-
mitted they have virtually given up
all hope Of solving the ship liquor
and rum running problems by ex-
tending of the American right of
search and seizure out to twelve
miles at sea.
More than three weeks have pass
ed since the propoal originally was
made to the allied capitals by Sec
rotary of States Hughes, but as yet
no replies have been received.
Led by Great Britain, the great
maritime powers are said to be
imanifestly unfavorable" to any ex-
tension of the three-mile limit, re.
gardIess or the reasons therefor.
CognlZant of this attitude, officials
concede that with Congress alone
rests the solution of the problem.
Opposition To Starting PLAN.
In this connection, however some
opposition was voiced to the plan
Of Senator Sterling R.) Of South
Dakota, to introduce at the next es-
sion a measure extending the ter
ritorial jurisdiction of the United
States to all waters within twelve
miles of the American shore.
"Such a method of gaining our
point" one high spokesman for the
Administration declared, would be
most drastic, and! might be abortiye.
Permanent and general extension of
territorial limits is serious thing.
and something that might well lead
to international complications. A
nation can't just extend its terri
torial limits; it must have a mighty
good reason-one that would find
justification in the eyes of olher
to meet a situation approaching a
national emergency"
Dry Laws Must Be Amended.
Failing to obtain the requested
concession from the allies in ex-
change for permission to bring
liquor into American waters under
seal, Congress only can act by
amending the existing dry laws, as
interpreted by the Supreme Court.
Government leaders, however, are
expressing strong doubt whether
Congress would be willing TO re-
move the restrictions of foreign
shipping so long as the foreign pow
ers refuse to assist the United States
in curbing rum running in vessels
flying the flags of those very
powers.

held up so far as the British atti.

BRITISH FAIL TO
CHEER SAILING

Recognize Big Liner as Rival
Challenging Supremacy OF
Their Flag on High Seas.
BY F. A. WRAY.
International News Service.


SOUTHAMPTON Eng, July IL
The British mercantile marine-tor
many -'ears supreme upon the hlgh
seas-is fighting with its back 10
the WALL and there were no loud
and prolonged cheers from British
threats when the giant American
liner Leviathan sailed for New
York today. This mighty Amert-
can steamship is completing the
final lap of her maiden voyage
under the Stars and Stripes.
Was Officially DRY"
The Leviathan was officially
dry" carrying only one gallon of
brandy for medicinal purposes,
However, some of the passengers
one personally supervising the EN-.
barkation of thirty-six quarts OF
whiskey.
Sailing of the Leviathan marks
another step forward in the inter-
national transatlantic war which
threatens British supremacy N
ocean passenger transportation.
Both American and German steam
ship lines are making serious m
roads into British passenger and
freight business. Never in history
has the red ensign of the British
mercantile fleet been under such
heavy attack.
1t is within the range of posi-
bilities that rate cutting may re-
suit from the bitter competition
which is growing up.
Germany Enters Contest.
Germans mercantile marine has
shown a remarkable revival and
reached it's highest point when
t he m o de r Hamburg American
liner Albert BALM sailed from
Southampton. The Albert Balm
somewhat dimmed ,Southampton's
pride in the British liners Majestic
and Berengaria, and this pride was
further diminished today when the
Leviathan put to sea like some
palatial> ''Woolworth building Of
the high seas"
During the past week eleven big
transatlantic liners called at South
ampton for freight and passengers,
but not one flew the red ensign
Of the British mercantile fleet.
British shippers are beginning to
fear that only a British government
subsidy can maintain England s
supremacy upon the seas. They
claim that both American and Ger
man lines are receiving assistance
from their Governments.

in the authenticity of the questioned
works, asserting that before the
museum had accepted them they
had been passed upon by experts.

WOULD BAR GOODS
MADE IN PRISON
Associated Dress Industries Has
Taken the Initiative in
General Movement.
ADOPTS STRONG RESOLUTION.
Suggests That Merchandise Manufac-
tured by convicts Be Distributed
Among Publicly Supported Instl-
tutions Throughout the Country.

Delegates to the annual convention
Of the Associated Dress Industries Of
America in Atlantic City voted to take
the initiative in a movement to pro-
hibit the distribution of prison-made
merchandise on the open market be-
cause Of alleged unfair competition.
Two other resolutions were passed
bearing upon other phases Of market
ing, ordering and manufacturing. Ma
tion-wide support Ii asked in the reso-
luton dealing with convict labor,
which reads as follows:
whereas, There are In the penal
institutions of the United States some
age of whom are employed in produc-
ing merchandise that is sold In COM
petition with free American labor;
and,
whereas, This constitutes Unfair
competition and endangers the busl-
ness of innumerable manufacturers
and prevents the employment of thou
sands Of persons In the open market
at legitimate wages; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Associated
Dress Industries Of America, In con-
vention assembled, deprecates this un-
American practice and heartily In
dorses and assumes the initiative in
a movement which seeks to obtain the
support Of every manufacturers tradc
organization, every retailers trade or
ganization, women's clubs and every
chamber Of commerce, with the ulti-
mate object Of securing uniform legis-
lation in every state which will pro-
hibit the distribution of prisonmade
merchandise in the open market"
To this resolution there is added
clause suggesting that since the en-
ployment Of prison labor cannot be
eliminated the merchandise thus man.
ufactured be distributed among pab-
licly supported institutions throughout
the country.
The second resolution empowers the
executive council Of the Associated
Dress Industries to devise ways and
means to protect members against the
losses and inconvenience sustained
by reason of the fact that much OF
the piece goods received on orders is
not up to the standard of the samples
shown.
In the third resolution there is con-
tanned a warning against the placing
Of verbal orders.

DEFENDS RAIL LABOR BOARD
Sharply to Those Who Wish 1t
Abolished by Congress.

Adverse critics Of the United States
railway labor board-leaders in the
labor board abolition movement" !"
scheduled for this session Of congress,
are confronted by defensive state
yment issued by Ben w. Hooper, chair
man Of the federal body.
Chiefs of the II standard railway
labor unions, which opposed the labor
board provision Of the transportation
act In 1920, and which never have
modified their attitude, recently met
In Washington and declared for a BIZ
partisan board to handle disputes in
vOlving carriers and their employees.
"The public" reads Chairman Hoop
er's statement, "cannot hope to be
benefited by frantic alienation Of
legislative experiments.
What the railroads need most is
not political tinkering but breathing
spell in which to complete readjust-
Iment and prepare for the expansion Of
facilities Indispensable to the growth
and prosperity of the country.
I'm so far as the labor provision Of
the transportation act is concerned, it
represents the co-ordlnated efforts Of
both political parties to diminish the
number of railroad strikes by affording
the public an opportunity to see the
inside Of labor controversies and to
pass upon their merits.
! "The purpose Of those who are ask
ing congress to exclude the public from
the legal and natural right to partici-
pate in the adjustment Of labor con-
troversies in an industry so essential
ly public is quite obvious.
: "Since the enactment of the trans
,portation act no railway strike has
succeeded and but few have been at
tempted. The decisions of the labor
board, though merely advisory, have
rbeen respected to a remarkable degree
both by railroads and their employees"
