ConquerinR The Air.

Has man really conquered the air 4?
That question arises in the minds
Of most of us after the finding of
the wreck of the French super
dirigible. Dixmude, on the coast of
Sicily.
Here was the perfect work of
man, which was heralded as his
triumph in the battle with the air,
crushed as if it were a toy balloon.
Proud officers had boosted of her
prowess. She was the queen of the
upper regions, undisputed and UNI

But man-made as it was, the Dix

combat successfully the elements
which no human has ever controlled.
Man may keep on perfecting the
MASTERPIECES Of his brain. He may
continue to display his genius and
his resourcefulness in many lines of
1ndeavor, but there is a greater
power than his-an unseen power
over which he has no control.

Vast and impressive buildings
have been laid low by tornadoes.
The proud empire of Japan was
stripped Of her glory and her mater
ial accumulations by shaking of
the earth.
And innumerable world disasters
crowd themselves upon US to remind
man that humbleness is still a virtue.
