LESSONS LEARNED
FROM SHENANDOAH
Sturdier and Improved Craft
Likely to Be Built

Washington. Oct, 16 R-Destruc-
ton Of the Shenandoah will point
The way Immediately to several i'm
portant changes In diriglblo con-
struction. in the opinion OF Ralph
ii. Epson, former International bal
loon championship and now chief
engineer OF the Aircraft Develop
ment Corporation,
He and others OF the corporation
told government officials they were
prepared 10 build a dirigible OF n
new type. Mr.. Epson outlined three
lessons which he said should be
learned from the story OF the Shen-
sndoah. The next dirigible, he said.
should be covered with thin, light
metal instead OF fabric should have
a much greater diameter compared
to It's length, and should have its
control car fastened more securely
TO the frame.
"The Shenandoah's loss OF life
was not large relative to the total
number on board. and the fatalities
would have been almost eliminated
had the control car been more
rigidly attached to the hull" said
Epson.
1.-THE fact that the airship broke
In two Is an equally direct result
of Its excessive slenderness. II used
to be thought that long pencil
shape was necessary for speed, but
recent studies and experiments show
conclusively that air resistance can
be reduced with more compact
shapes. The most improved hull
shape has only one-third the Shen-
andoah's length, compared to its
diameter. Experiments also show
that 1t is possible to make an air.
ship completely stable.
improvements in stability alone
would greatly reduce the require
rnents for safety-valve capacity. al
though there Is no good reason for
not having plenty Of safety valves.
Another important requirement is
to allow plenty OF pressure range
from valve operation. The Shenan-
doah could stand safely a pressure
OF only 10 millimeters Of water or
obout one one-thousandth Of an
atmosphere. Airships can now be
built to stand many times that pres
sure.
perhaps the greatest disadvan-
tage Of the Shenandoah was Its
fabric cover-easiiy torn, infamma-

soaking up thousands Of pounds OF
water, and soon worn out. Before
long this kite construction will be
a thing of the past, replaced by
metal clad airships, with rigid metal
covering.
THE faults OF the Shenandoah are
no discredt to the men who design
ed and built her. They took the
best that was available at the time"

Mistletoe.

Now is the season when pretty
girls look carefully overhead before
they stand in one place long-whether
for fear that they may see there the
sprig of little. white berries or for fear
that they may not, | leave you to con
ciude. And gay, indeed. are the hap
penings underneath the benediction of
the little gray-green shrub so ancient
in lore and clustering legend.
Balder, the sun god, was slain, ac-
cording to the old Morse legend. by an
arrow shot from a bow of mistletoe
1t must have been a remarkably big
and tough piece of mistletoe out of
which a bow could be fashioned, but
then the mistletoe of Europe is only
diStantly related to American mistle-
toe. 1t Is in connection with the Old
World plant, too, that we remember
the doleful ballad, THE Mistletoe
Bough," about a coquettish girl who
hid herself In a box, the lock of which
snapped after her, so that she was not
found until she was a crumbling
skeleton. The mistletoe was sacred
10 the Druids if found growing upon
pine.
Its habit Of growing on trees may
be attractive to boys and girls who
go walking in the woods, but it is
pest to the forester, for the mistletoe
Is parasite that robs the strength of
trees around Washington, especially
the red maple and the sour gum.
There is, then, no objection to its lib
eral use at Christmas time, as there
is to the reckless destruction of holly.
With us it is rare near the District of
Columbia, but quite plentiful as one
nears Chesapeake Bay. Every maiden
IN Washington may feel free-if she
dareS-to wear mistletoe in her hair
