| the second group. given with tenor
voice and piano and string quartet
accompaniment. The third feature
was quartet by Boccherini, written
in lIi5, for two violins, viola, cello
and flute.

ner French horn player; w. NJ Kin

Hanears Ready in Britain.
The trip to England presents none
of the difficulties that might be en-
countered in landing without hangar
or mooring mast in Panama. The
British government still possesses sew
eral hangers built to accommodate
British Zeppelins and now unoccu-
pied. Without question one of these
adjacent to London could be put at
the disposal of the Los Angeles

in an effort to discover the practice
ability of a plan for establishing
regular air mail route across the At
lantic which has been given much
consideration by Secretary Wilbur
and Admiral Moffett. The Britih are
constructing Zeppelins which Will not
be finished for some time, but IT has
occurred to some officials here that
If the Los Angeles as pioneer proved
it possible to maintain regular
mail service by air across the At
lantic. the British government would
he likely to place one or more of its
new aircraft in cooperative trans
ready.
While the French government is
doing nothing whatever toward Yep
pelin construction, it still has avail
able d Zeppelin hangar in the vi
cfnity of Paris which could be made
the French terminus for the trans
atlantic air mail route that has been
suggested. There seems little doubt
that arrangements for such use of
the Los Angeles could be worked out
with both the French and British
governments shoulG it be the final
determination of the Washington
Government that the transatlantic
air mail service offers the best field
for commercial use Of the ship.
Various Tests to Be Made.
In any event, the ultimate employ
ment of the Navy's new air liner will
not be decided until thereshave been
a number of experimental flights to
various destinations. 1t is not nee
essary that mooring masts be pro-
vided at all of these points, since the
Los Angeles is to be equipped i'm
mediately with the water recovery
devices which are used in the Shen-
andoah to Offset the loss of weight
due to consumption of fuel on long
trips.
Inc ueNlce converts the exhaust
gases from the ships motors into
water, which is piped into the ballast
tank to make up for the weight of
gasoline burned up. The weight re-
covery by this means is little great
er than the weight of the fuel con-
sumed. and it is possible to keep the
ship in perfect balance by this system.
Lack of water recovery devices on
the Los Angeles accounted for the diff
ticulties the ship encountered here yes
terday when she attempted to land for
christening and which she met again
on her return to Lakehurst. So much
weight in fuel had been consumed that
she was very light and hard to bring
down to the earth without letting loose
much of her helium gas, which would
be an extremely costly loss. When
the water bal.asting recovery system
is available, officers say, there will be
no difficulty about landing in open
fields where weather conditions are at
all suitable for the attempt.
