SHENANDOAH WENT
TO TEST FORD MAST
Capt. Lincoln Tells Naval
Board One of Reasons for
Fatal Air Flight.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
One of the reasons for sending the
Shenandoah on the Western flight was
to test the Ford mooring mast at
Dearborn, Mich. Capt. G. S. Lincoln,
attached to naval operations, testified
today before the naval court of in
Quiry into the wreck of the airship
In asking that the mast be tested
as speedily as possible. W. B. Mayo.
chief engineer of the Ford Co., said
the Army wanted to build a similar
mast at Scott Field.
Capt. Lincoln also disclosed that de-
cision to postpone the Midwestern
flight from July to September was
made at a conference between Comdr.
Zachary Lansdowne, captain of the
ship; Admiral Eberle. chief of naval
operations; Rear Admiral w. A. Mof-
fett. chief Of the Bureau of Aeronau-
tics. and Capt. Lincoln.
The witness said at that time Ad-
miral Eberle had emphasized that the
department wanted Comdr. Lansdowne
to have discretion in practically all
circumstances.
Lansdowne Went Willingly.
Capt. Lincoln said that as far as
he knew Lansdowne expressed no
opinion as to the desirability of a
Midwestern flight, and had no appre-
hension about the flight other than
that he had recommended postpone
ment from July TO September.
Admiral Eberle, the chief of oper-
ationS then testified that under wide
discretionary powers proposed for him
Lansdowne was willing to make the
flight last July. The flight was post
poned, the Admiral said, in order that
important exercises with the Shenan-
doah and battleship Texas could be
completed by August l. These oper-
ations We're designed to show the
availability of the Shenandoah as a
fleet scout in any weather conditions.
The performance of the Shenandoah
on the Pacific and other flights tended
to show that the ship was capable of
operations in any weather, good or
bad, the Admiral said.
The chief of operations reiterated
that in several personal conferences
he had told Landsdowne he would
have complete liberty of action in
operating the Shenandoah on the
Midwestern and other flights.
Discussing the overruling of LanS-
downe's recommendation that the
flight be postponed to. September,
Admiral Eberle said the ship COM
mander did not know when he made
the recommendation that the Dear
born mooring mast was ready for
operation.

Capt Arnold decided to turn back. The
boat failed to respond to the helm
quickly enough, some of the rescued
said, and was quarter around when
a wave swept over the deck, washing
several members of the party over
board. The next wave which hit the
craft turned it over.

Transforming Wild Plants.

The keynote ow your work, Mr..
Burbank, seems to have been not
only the Improvement of existing
cultivated plants. but the making of
wild fruits and flowers into useful and
valued members of society" l re-
marked as we were busy in the vege-
table garden.
"You must remember" he an
swered, that all our best fruits and
cereals and almost all our Towering
plants were once wild plants with
unprotected lives at the mercy of
birds and beasts and that they devel-
oped along the lines of elf-protection
and reproduction rather than of
service to man."
so / suppose that just as in
sects introduced color and fragrance
into the floral world, so man has in
troduced sweetness and favor into
wild fruits and berries 1 said.
Yes, and cereals and roots and
bulbs as well. To illustrate with a
transformation of recent date-the
tomato, which is tropical plant and
has been introduced into this country
within the last century. In it's wild
state it had a small ill-shaped red
fruit about the size of a large English
walnut, and was at first regarded as
an ornamental Didnl, Inc
being known as love apples, and
generally supposed to be poisonous.
by accident it was discovered to be
edible, the best tomatoes were saved
and cultivated and long continued
selection transformed the wild fruit
into a vegetable delicacy."
The tomato belongs to the Salonum
family, which has produced such
widely different members as the
potato, the tomato, the tobacco plant,
the egg plant and the garden petunia.
These different members of the
family acquired characteristics in
adapting themselves to new surround
ings and the process probably COW
cred many thousand years, for Ma
ture works slowly when producing
her best results. But man i'll less
than half a century has transformed
the wild tomato into a large and
delicious edible vegetable"
'And there are doubtless many
other such instances" l remarked.
Eyes, the list is long, and includes
the fruits as well as vegetables. The
pear for one, which was originally
say 1000 years ago-a wild tree
growing in Asia, with a fruit proba bly,
not much larger than the seed pod of
a rose, but when it was discovered to
be edible. 1t began its Transformations

HOW TT STARTED
"JacktRobinson." "
BY JEAN NEWTON.

Opinion differs as to the proper
duration of a social call. Anywhere
from 10 minutes to a half hour" says
the woman who has social secretary
and whose daily job is calling" to
the tune Of tea and waters. "All
afternoon" says the bourgeoisie, Who
takes along her knitting and sits
down to coffee and cake. And then
say some, 'it all depends upon the
call. On some occasions and with
different people we stay longer than
others"
But Jack Robinson. was a man
whose calls never varied. He never
stayed long enough to wear out his
welcome. In fact. hardly had he been
announced. hardly had the servant
who admitted him spoken aloud his
name than he was gone.
So, as you see, before you can say
Jack Robinson" has no reference to
the time 1t takes to say it. LAS long
as you can see Jack Robinson would
be more in order with its origin and
significance.
