GIANT DRICIBLB
 COMES ID REST
 AT FORT WORTH
Wind Hampers Inexpe- rienced Crew In Mak-
 ing Her Fast
(By AssoeIated Press)

FIT. WORTH, Texas, Oct. s.--For the first time in the history of naval aviation q dirigible came to rest nt q station west of the Misslssippi river tonight when the naval ship, Shenan- doah, was successfully mOored for the night at the new mooring mast here.
 The fastening of the ship to the mast, the first time that the Fort Worth crew had ever attempted the task, was not accompanied without difficulty, the strength of human hands being necesAary to complete the job.
 A brisk south wind hampeFed the Inooring mast attaches in bringing the big ship to rest. Each time she was brought down close to the mast cone the wind would get under her and she would acsend again.
 The huge dirigible which Is now making a 5000 mile jaunt for research purposes of the United States was sighted in the east at z 7:10 p. m., cen tFal standard time. The arrival in Fort Worth completed the first 1. .400- mile lap of the tour that will take the ship on three sides of the United States.
 Has Radio Trouble
 The ship first passed over the landing field at an elevation of approximately 2,O00 feet and after "pancaking' nearer the surface, 1t signalled by electric lights that 1t was having difficulty In trans hitting It's radio messages because of in- terference of q large Fort Worth sta tion which was broadcasting q musical program.
 While waiting for word to be com municated to the station, the Shenan- doah disappeared over the northern horizon, in an efofrt to get out of range of the powerful station.
 Immediately after the stopping of the local raidO casting, the ship returned and by its radio, instructed the ground crew as to the details of making the huge ship fast.
 At 8 :35 p. m., the ship dropped it's first line to pick up the main landing gear cable and at 40 agmotor windlass was started, thus beginning the meehan- ical process to make the fast the vests first dirigible.
 Two other guide lines were attached to the remaining two windlasses of the station, thus steadying the huge ship as 1t was nosed into it's 160-fdot mOoFins tower. A few minutes after the warp ing of the craft was started, the prin- cipal windlass was forced to stop be-

 Disclaiming that he sought either fame or pecuniary profit, the writer added:
 "Spain is like great lady held in dur ance-seeureIy gagged. But before the di- recforate one thing had always been re- spected; one night write what one might. But the times have changed. There is now a visage on all books, even textbooks of geography, history, math- ematics and philosophy.

RAIL SPEED LIMIT REACHED
Experiments Show Tracks as Made
Now Will Not Stand Excess
sive Strain.

II the speed of future railroad travel
Is to be materially increased. it can be
done only by the adoption of electric
trains. The multiple-unit method per-
mits of a great increase in the total
horsepower without exceeding the
loading limit for rails, bridges and
structures.
The fastest speed ever made on a
railroad was achieved some 20 years
ago in Germany, on a military railroad
between Berlin and Zossen, where some
costly experiments were carried on to
ascertain how high a speed could be
obtained on steam railroads under cleo
trio traction, and Mt what expenditure
of power. The experimental runs were
progressive. The speed soon passed
the 100-miles-an hour mark, and then
rose, successfully, to ITO, 100 and final
ly to 100 miles per hour. The limiting
conditions were found to be not in the
car but in the track, which proved to
be unable to stand up under the severe
stresses imposed upon it; and this in
spite of the fact that it was specially
prepared for these trials.
We are thus brought to the con
clusion that schedule speeds of 100
miles an hour can be attained only
where the topography is favorable to
fairly level and straight lines. Even
under these conditions it would be
necessary to design a special roadbed
and track of costly construction, in
volving many tunnels, long and costly
entertainments, the elevation or depres-
sion of the racks through all towns
and cities, and the complete elimina
ton of grade crossings. Also, the road
would have to be equipped with some
form of automatic train control. sim
pie, rugged and absolutely reliable.
But when, if ever such a road were
built, its cost both for construction and
maintenance would he so great that its
use would be restricted to those whose
purse was deep or who, by reason of
emergency, were willing to pay a high
price for an extra forty to fifty miles
an hour of speed.-Scientific Ameri.

to lend $500, 900. Cincinnati banks
promised $1.OOO.OO0. and the country
banks offered a bit more. A few weeks
before the warehouses were to open
for h receipt of tobacco a counse
for n of the leading banks of Louis
Vile gave out the opinion that the
whole proceeding was illegal. For a
moment 1t looked like the new asso-
citation must fail. But the bankers
and the business men of the South
didn't see 1t that way. Judge Robert
Bingham, editor Of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, offered a million dol
lars of his personal fortune. James
Brown, president of the National Bank
of Kentucky. urged the bankers to
stick to their promise to see the asso-
citation through. And they did-three
hundred of them.
Given Much Encouragement.
Only a few months ago the chamber
Of commerce of Minneapolis, Mimi,
trip through the Northwest. They
wanted to get business men in the
Northwestern states interested in CO.
operating with the farmer. They trav-
eled through three states, stopping in
all the larger towns to talk about
farmer cooperation. E. w. Decker,
president of the First National Bank
of Minneapolis. represented the Middle
Western banking interests. Whenever
the train pulled into a town, Decker
stood on the rear platform ready to
tell other bankers and other business
men how Minneapolis was trying to CO.
operate with the farmers in solving
their mutual problems.
It's not only the Middle Western
and Southern bankers that are giving
their support to farmer c~o-operatives.
Otto H. Kahn, a New York banker.
has declared that cooperative market
tills the soil and milks the cows and
watches the orchards.
Bernard NJ. Baruch, the New York
%financier. Travelled 1900 miles a short
time & to talk to three hundred
farmers who met in Chicago for the
annual meeting of the American Farm
Bureau federation. And what he
urged these farmers to do was to CO.
operate. He told them hal big bust
ness stood ready to help them over
the hard places.
The late President Warren G. Hard
ing n an address before the national
agricultural conference at Washington
made a special plea hat the farmer
be given every opportunity for group
selling.
The press, too, has recognized the
significance of the new movement. 1t
has given columns upon columns of
printed support. Farm papers were
the first champions of cooperative
marketing. Magazine editors o
took up the cause. Today the biggest
newspapers and magazines of the ma
ton are carrying top heads and front
page stories about the farmer and his
billiOn-dollar sales machine.
