Torrid weather that stretched from

Urgency of demand for corn was

touched as high as 99sc today. The
sharpest advance was for October

were buying and the only Offering
came from traders who were in po-
sition to realize profits. With no cool

vices from Kansas, on advices that
farmers were hauling water and that
the weather was the hottest and dryest
which had been experienced in L.
years.
Wheat owed its strength largely TO
the action of corn and to aggressive
buying on the part of a Chicago lead

Shenandoah First
Rigid Airship
Built i'm America

The dirigible Shenandoah, de-
signed by the bureau of naval aero
nautics and constructed at the naval
airship station, Lakehurst, n. j., was
an improved version of the Zeppelin
LIB and the British R-33 class,
OF which she was very close dupli-
cate in dimensions.
She was the first rigid airship
built in America. Six hundred and
eighty feet in length. with maxi
mum diameter of 1871 feet she con-
tanned ID gas cells with a capacity
of j. 900 cubic feet. Her power
plant consisted of six 800 horsepower
Packard engines, capable of driving
her at a maximum speed of 60 miles
an hour.
The Shenandoah was completed in
the summer of 1923, and her test
flights were very satisfactory. While
attached to her mooring mast at
Lakehurst on Jan. -, 1924, the ship
was torn loose in a violent gale
while only a skeleton crew was on
board, but she weathered the storm.
Last October the Shenandoah was
given remarkable test in the form
of trans-continental flight which
included a stay of IL days on the
west coast when she was away from
Lakehurst for Is days.
The Shepandoah was inflated with
helium gas, which is -inflam-
mable, poisonous and ehe next
lightest gas to hydrogen.
The United States possesses only
one other dirigible, the Los Angeles,
which was built at the Zeppelin
works in Friedrichshafen, Germany.
The Los Angeles, however, under the
terms of the peace treaty by which
she was constructed, can only be
used for commercial and experiment.
al flights.
The Shenandoah was this couh.ry's
only dirigible of war
Several dirigibles being used or
experimental with by various powers
with view to airship development
in the post war period have met with
disaster. The principal cases fol-
low:
The French dirigible Dizxmude
fell into the Mediterranean, Dec. IL,
1928, and 81 lives lost.
The dirigible ZR-3 which was
bought for the United States in Eng
land, buckled over the Humber river
Aug. 2s 1921, 40 killed.
The giant army dirigible Roma,
bought by the United States from
Italy, destroyed near the Hampton
