This story is said 20 be the finest
thing the author has ever written
directly for the screen, and when one
thinks Of such big screen successes
as the Wally Reid auto stories, @Code

that means "The Air Mail'' is just
about perfect entertainment.

DIRECTS ACTOR
BY MEANS OF SIGNS

Robert z. Leonard, director Of
Cheaper to Marry" which is COM
ing to the D & r theater on Sunday,
mastered sign language. The reas-
on was Panlette Duval. Paulette,
most recent beauty to desert zieg-
field Follies, is quite European
French, in fact.
So, after trying an interpreter with
but little success, because the third
party arrangement was too slow,
Leonard hit upon the idea of directing
PauIette by means Of signs. A SER
les Of gestures were agreed upon be-
tween the director and the actress
to govern movements and emotions.
The plan worked out very well,
and only rarely was Leonard
obliged to call upon Andre Barletier,
a cameraman and native of France, to
come to the rescue with an explana-
ton.

WASHINGTON MAN
KILLED IN WRECK

Lieut. William Edgar Sheppard of
Washington, who was killed in the
Shenandoah disaster, had been at
tached to her since the christening
in 1928. He was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John A. Sheppard. 2o9 Twelfth
street southwest. Lieut.. Sheppard re
ceived his education in the Washing
ton public schools and after conaplet-
ing his courses went to work for
the Ford Motor Co. here, where
he remained until the outbreak of the
World War. He entered the naval
service on July %, 1918, and was
Immediately sent to Detroit, where he
was at the Packard Motor Co. super.
vising the building of airplane motors.
When the new airplane carrier
Wright was being fitted out he was
ordered to duty aboard that vessel,
and remained there until June 81, 1922,
when he was ordered to the naval air
station at Pensacola, Fla, for instruC-
ton in heavier-than-air craft. He
served there until November Is, 1922,
when he was sent to the Naval Hos
pttal. In Washington, for treatment,
and upon discharge was assigned to
duty in the Bureau of Aeronautics in
the Navy Department at Washington.
On March l, 1928, he was detached
from the bureau and sent to Lake
hurst, N. j., for duty in connection
with the fitting out of rigid airships.
When the Shenandoah was Christened
on October 6, 1928. he was ordered to
duty aboard that vessel.
Lieut.. Sheppard was married about
eight years ago to Miss Alta Plowden
of this city, and they had one child,
Edgar Sheppard, jr., years old. The
mother and child are at Lakehurst,
n. ]. Lieut. Sheppard also had a
brother, B. B. Sheppard. living at 1914
Irving street; a sister, Mrs. Mary 1.

Lansdowne came to Washington and
conferred with Admiral Eberle, chief
of naval operations; Rear Admiral

emy in 1909, he had a wide range of
sea service before he was ordered to
the Pensacola Air Station in 1916.
in August, 1917, he was sent to the
British airship instruction station at
Cranwell, England, where he was
graduated as an airship pilot. He
served during the war at various
posts in England, at the Navy De-
partment, here in connection with
aviation operations and in command
of an air station in France. Later he
was again ordered to duty at the
Navy Department and from Novem-
Der, 1919, to February, 1920. was in
command of the naval air station at
Akron, Ohio.
In December, 1921, he made the
first airship flight using helium 9on

Dirigible History
Since War Costs
Lives of l26 Men

Several dirigibles being experimental
with by various powers with view
10 airship development in the post
war period have met with disaster.
The principal cases were as follows:
The French dirigible DiXmude fell
into the Mediterranean December 2l,
1898, after having presumably been
struck by lightning, and the officers
and crew, numbering 81 men, were
all lost.
The dirigible ZR-2, which was bought
in England for the United States, met
with disaster over the Humber River
August "a, 1921, her frame buckling.
Over 40 persons, including 16 Ameri-
cans, lost their lives in her destruc-
ton.
The giant Army dirigible Roma,
bought by the United States from
Italy, crashed to earth in flames near
the Hampton Roads Army base on
February q, 1922, and 81 men were
killed.
The British dirigible R-34, which
made the transatlantic journey in
July. 1919, was wrecked at her base
by q. strong wind on January %, 1921.
There were no fatalities, however.
other airship accidents included in
aArial history are:
July 21, 1919-Loss Of ten lives
when an airship fell in flames into the
Illinois Trust and Savings Bank, at
Chicago.
July Is, 1919-British airship NS-11
fell into the North Sea, with loss OF
70 lives, after being struck by light
ming.
June 20, 1914-Airship and airplane
collided at Vienna, killing 8.
September 8, 1913-Zeppelin LII de-
stroyed off Helgoland, with loss of Is
lives.
October IT, 1913-Zeppelin LIZ ex-
ploded over Joahannisthal Airdrome,
killing %.
July Q, 1912-The balloon Akron,
groomed for a transatlantic voyage,
exploded at Atlantic City, killing 5.

would lead to no change in the de-
partment's policy toward the Los
Angeles. While she cannot be used
for military purposes, 1t is assumed
she can be employed in a limited way
in tests, to demonstrate capacity of
operation.
Among all officers there was a feel
ing of thankfulness that the Shenan.
doah was not inflated with the in
fiammable hydrogen gas. An explo-
sion during the breaking up of the
ship undoubtedly would have led to
much greater loss of life.
In his message of sympathy to the
commanding officer at Lakehurst, Sec
retary Wilbur said:
please extend my profound SYM
pathy and express my great sorrow to
each family at Lakehurst suffering
loss by the wreck of the Shenandoah.
We honor the officers and men killed
and injured and deplore the loss we
share in common with you. May God
comfort you in your affection"
Admiral Eberle also sent condolences.

command Of the Shenandoah since
February, 1924, and was regarded as
one of the ablest naval officers in
lighter-than-air craft operations. He

1t was several hours after the trag-

Department began to give any clear
idea of circumstances under which the
Shenandoah collapsed. Details were

Navy concentrated on relief measures

Our most constant and vital relation
to the world without is chemical
one. We can go without food for some
days, but we can exist without breath
ing only few moments. ThrouSh
these soongy lungs of ours we lay hold
upon the outward world in the most
intimate and constant way Through
them we are rooted to the aif The
air is a mechanical mixture of two
yery unlike gases-nitrogen and oxy-
gen; one very inert, the other very
active. Nitrogen is like cold-blooded,
lethargic person-it combines with
other substances very reluctantly and
with but little energy. Oxygen is just
its opposite in this respect; 1t gives IT
self freely; 1t is HAL, fellow; well
Inet!" with most substances, and 1t en-
ters into co-partnership with them on
such a large scale that it forms nearly
one-half of the material of the earth's
crust. This invisible gas, this breath
of air, through the magic of chemical
combination, forms nearly half the sub
stance Of the solid rocks. Deprive 1t
OF it's affinity for carbon, or substitute
nitrogen or hydrogen in its place, and
the air would quickly suffocate us.
That changing of the dark, venous
blood in our lungs into the bright, red,
arterial blood would instantly cease
Fancy the sensation OF inhaling an
odorless, non-poisonous atmosphere
that would make one gasp for breath!
we should be quickly poisoned by the
waste of our own bodies. All things
that live must have oxygen, and all
things that burn must have oxygen.
oxygen does not burn, but it supports
combustion.-John Burroughs, in Har-

All Repented.

A. man recently ordered pair of
trousers from his tailor. On trying
them on they proved to be couple
of inches too long. It being late on
Saturday night the tailor's shop was
closed and the man took the trousers
to his wife and asked her to cut them
and hem them over. The good lady,
whose dinner perhaps disagreed with
her, brusquely refused. The same re-
suit followed on application to the
wife's sister and the eldest daughter.
But before bed time the wife, repent
ing, took her husbands trousers, and
cutting off three inches from the legs,
hemled them nicely and restored
them to the wardrobe. Half an hour
later the daughter, gull of compunc-
tion for her unfilial conduct, took the
trousers and cut off four inches, hem
med and replaced them. Finally the
sister-in-law felt the pangs of con-
science and she, too, performed an
additional surgical operation on the
garment. When the man appeared at
breakfast on Sunday, the family
thought Highland chief had arrived

Ancients Knew About Mustard

Mustard is one of the most ancient
medicines. Pythagoras, who flour
lshed between five and six hundred
years before Christ, mentions it. Hip
pocrates, who was born in 400 B. c.,
employed it. Pliny, the elder, writing
In n A. D., describes three different
kinds Of mustard and says the seeds
were imported to Italy from Egypt
originally.
The Romans used it as stimulant
after a cold bath; they mixed mustard
oil and olive oil in equal parts and
used this as a liniment for stiffness
of the muscles. They knew the vir-
tues of mustard poultices and of mus
tard as an emetic. AS a remedy for
the stings of scorpions and serpents
they pounded it, mixed 1t with vine
gar and applied it to the wound.
They also made drink out of it.
fermenting the seed in fiery spirit.
The liquor thus produced they called
mustum ardens, which means burning
wine. The word mustard is probably
derived from this.

LIQUID GLUE.

The preparation of liquid glue Is
based upon the property of the con-
contracted acid of vinegar and diluted
nitric acid to dissolve the gelatine
without destroying its cohesive quail
ties. Dumoulin's recipe for liquid and
unalterable glue is as follows: Take
q wide mouthed bottle, and dissolve
in it eight ounces of best glue In one
half pint of water, by setting 1t in a
vessel of water, and heating 1t until
dissolved. Then add slowly two and
one-half ounces Of strong aqua FORTS
(nitric acid), SO degrees Baume, stir
ring all the while. Effervescence takes
place under generation of nitrous gas.
When all the acid has been added, the
liquid is allowed to cool. Keep it well
corked and it will be ready for use at
any moment. This preparation does
not gelatize, nor undergo putrefaction
or fermentation. It is applicable for
many domestic uses, such as mending
china and repairing cabinet work.
Another recipe for very strong
liquid glue is to put three parts of
glue in eight parts cold water and let
them stand for several hours to soften
the glue. Then add .one-half part mr1.
riatic acid and three-fourths part sui.
phate of zinc. Heat the mixture to
$50 degrees fahrenheit for 10 or IL
hours The mixture remains liquid
after cooling.
