The voyages Of the ZR-3 clos

ship lines-the railroad Of the
air"
The "Los Angeles" covered
5000 miles in eighty-one hours
from Germany to Lakehurst, with
fuel enough remaining to have
taken her safely to st. Louis,
Mo. This ship could easily reach
Honolulu from New York, or
Manila from Hawaii, or Sitka,
Alaska, from Boston in three and
one-half days. Is is not as plain
as day that the business men Of
this country will demand this new
system of quick transportation ?
And is it not equally clear that
such a system is vital to our
national defense? The "man in

can citizens.-must see that this
is no dream. It is a reality.
Key to Safety.
The Los Angeles, as well as the
Shenandoah, have proved that they
can defy or avoid storms and head
winds. All hurricanes, cyclones and
typhoons are circular storms-large
whirlwinds revolving around q CEN
ter while this center at the same
time advances in parabollc curve.
Near the center the wind may blow
100 miles per hour, and the sea is
confused and very dangerous. The
center, therefore, must be avoided.
This is the one problem. It Is the
key to safety.
The speed with which the storm
center" advances In its path IL not
very great-only from ten to twenty
five miles per hour. Nevertheless,
sailing ships have always had diff
Guilty in keeping out Of the path
and avoiding the center because Of
their slow speed. When near the
center they must reduce sail, and
the sea being high their speed is cut
down. They have often been caught,
dismasted and wrecked. But steam.
ers, big and little, have often suf-
fcred from lack Of speed or ''sea

But the dirigible can easily avoid
this danger. It has no heavy and
dangerous sea to deal with. It has
only the air to conquer. Metero.
logical reports by radio give ample
warning, and their high speed, with
no sea to bother them will enable
them, as it did the Los Angeles, TO
change their course and in two or
three hours place themselves out
side the danger zone.
