WOODSMEN'S WOES

1t Is bad for us all to lose SYM

have unwittingly taken up, but most
because of the burdens which the
making of livelihood has placed

make us cold to an injustice. callous
and indifferent to any OF those who

other than their own sweet wills or

LONDON, December i3.--The sue
cess of the American airships Shen-
andoah and Los Angeles in their re-
cent great flights has finally con-
vinced Britishers of the value of
large dirigibles for commercial pur-
poses. and numerous aerial transpor-
tation projects. hitherto held up by
doubters, are being rapidly pushed
forward.
The London-India air line is now
confidently expected to be in opera
tion by the Spring of 1927. and the
Cairo-Cape branch shortly afterward,
while the extension from India to
Australia will be completed there
after. The aerial liners are to be
laid down next Summer and early in
1925 the army dirigible R-33 will
make a trial flight to Egypt for the
purpose of obtaining additional tech
nical data, the fruits OF which will
be embodied in the new construc-
tions.

The air ministry is cooperating
with Comdr. Burney's civil transpor-
tation company, and the lessons from
the transatlantic fight of the ZR-3
CLOS Angeles), as well as the Shenan-
doah's transcontinental flights will
not be overlooked. Aviation experts
here are not altogether convinced of
the superiority of helium for inf1at-
ing the huge "gasbags." as adopted
by America, and it is probable that
hydrogen will be employed for the
first British air lines.
The engines. of which there Will be
seven to each airship (two always in
reserve), are designed for a speed of
20 miles the hour. and will use a
heavy gas Oil fuel which. it is said, will
reduce the risk of fire in the air A
weight of some 20 tons is contracted ID
for by the designers, allowing 40
passengers and ten or eleven tons of
mail for the London-India trip, which
is scheduled to last so hours. The
fare from London TO Bombay is to be
f52, and letters will be carried at a
cost OF less than 5 cents. A crew of

ants, is provided for.
