HHE catastrophe to the Shena,

IN HE catastrophe to the Shenan-
doah does not shake the con-
fidence in the possibilities of
L commercial anyways in the
minds of those who have thor
ougllly studied the question. This is
better appreciated by surveying what
has been done in connection with air
ways up to today.
The commercial airship, commonly
termed by the public as Zeppelin -
was developed from 20 years Of work
in Germany by two leading companies
the Zeppelin Co. and the Schuette-
LAM Co. The enormous expense for
this development, with its failures and
successes partly subsidized by the
German government was subscribed
by the German people as a patriotic
duty. in marks and phennings, with
out any thought Of financial return.
Much Of it was given without any
stock interest in the company as re-
turn. It was not until 1910, however,
that the lighter-than-air ship had
reached a stage where its complete
perfection was within sight.
Record Before the War.
Before the war. between 1911 and
1914, "a 900 people were carried In Ger
many by Zeppelins without g. single
years of the war-1914 to 1918-that
the Germans developed the Zeppelin to
an amazing extent. There were 1872
ships built. They travelled over 5,000.-
900 miles. The speed was increased
from 46 to 81 miles per hour, and the
useful load increased from 80 per cent
to 60 per cent of its weight. (The
useful load" of ship of 1000, 900
cubic feet would be A tons).
The two ships Of particular interest
to America at present are the Los An.
geles and the Inflated Shenandoah.
The Shenandoah was commissioned in
September 1923, and had made q num-
Der Of remarkable flights using helium
gas, the most notable perhaps being
the record trip covering 10000 miles of
transcontinental flight from Lake
hurst, N. j., to Fort Worth, Tex; San
Diego, Calf; Camp Lewis, near Seat
tie, Wash, and return. This was &C

All this loss and waste Mr.. Hoover

President in Determined Mood.
Without touching upon the diff
Guilty President Coolidge has had in
attempting to have the Shipping
Board fall In line with his policies,
and the fact that majority of the
members of the board have actually
garding the sale of ships and the
operation of the fleet. it is needless
to speculate upon the Presidents
probable attitude.
Like Secretary Hoover, President
Coolidge contends that the board
should only function as a semi Judi
cial body and, because 1t has unfor-
tunately been loaded with enormous
administrative duties 1t has proven
detriment and a drawback.
During a recent discussion of this
phase of the subject, President Cool
idge expressed himself to the effect
that it has been demonstrated time
and again that this form Of organiZa-
ton results in indecision, division of
opinion and administrative functions
which make a wholly Inadequate
foundation for the conduct Of a great
business enterprise.
According to President Coolidge, the
first principle in securing the objec.
tive set out by Congress in building
up the American merchant marine
upon the great trade routes and sub
sequently transferring 1t into private
operation cannot proceed with effec.
tiveness until the entire functions Of
the board are reorganized.
When the Merchant Marine act
was last amended so as to separate
the Emergency Fleet Corporation
from the Shipping Board. 1t only par.
TALLY separated the two. 1t confused
the duties and powers of these two
agencies. and when President Cool
/ idge drafted a more definite policy Of
disposing of the Government owned
vessels, and with the view to a more
successful operation of the fleet, he
thought he had an agreement with
the members of the board to cooper
ate with the president of the Emerg-
ency Fleet Corporation and with the
Executive himself, in carrying out
these policies. He soon discovered,
though, that he had either misunder-
stood the board. as a whole, regarding
an agreement. or else the majesty of
the board intended to use their full.
est powers under the law, regardless
OF the Presidents desires about a
fixed policy. Thus the beginning of
a long drawn out controversy.

 Los Angeles, Dec. 3.-Two years ago "Mushy' Callahan was a young newsboy who picked up considerable side money by "scalping" tickets and selling boxing magazines in front of local fight arenas,
 Today others are "scalping" ticketg-with Musings" name printed on them in big type--and others are selling those same maga- zines-with "Mushye" picture on the cover.
 Callahan gained national recog- hilton by knocking out Pal Moran one of the greatest lightweights Of al ltime, who in Is years of ring battles was never off his feet.
 Moran fought every great puncher the lightweight division has pro- duced in the last IS years. He dared Benny Leonard to knock him out and smiled at the former cham pion's efforts. He laughed at the dreaded fists of Charley White, Lew Tender, Bobby Barrett, Jack Zivic, Ptnky Mitchell and Tommy O'Brien.
 And Callahan. celebrating his twentieth birthday put him down for the count Of ten in the third round. It was the second time "MuShy' had knocked out a boxer who had never been down before. He stopped Russie LeRoy of North Dakota in the same ring, also in three rounds.
 In the past year Callahan has not dropped a decision. He fought q draw with Ace Hudkins, the Ne braska wildcat" but five of the six local papers gave him an edge in the fighting.
 Eddie Sears, Callahan's manager. who Is well known throughout the country as a. handler Of boxers, is trying to get local promoters to match Callahan with Jimmy Good rich, recognized lightweight cham pion. "Mushy's" normal fighting weight is 138h pounds and Sears has guaranteed he will make 135 for Goodrich.
 If the match is made, and Ii probably will be within the next few months. Callahan will be s 2 to l favorite.

 The dethroned champion got of to bad start. making only 84 points in four turns at the table, while the challenger clicked of 100; 1S5 and 80. The balls were closely grouped in the eighth in ming when Schaefer displaying nlasterly precision, eclipsed two world marks.
 He set q record for billiards played in 500 point blocks when he had run 309 points and at the 4o1 point mark he set a record for all classes Of competition. The high run was stopped by failure in an attempt at a long bank from the red bal! at the side rail to the white ball at the end rail.

BALLER|NO LOSES,
 ROSENBERG ALSO
Two World Titles Lost to Coast
 Fighters

San Francisco, Dec. GR - Two eastern title holders came to grief before Pacific coast boxers last night, one losing his crown.
 Tod Morgan. a Seattle youth with a long reach and hard hitting ability, annexed the junior light weight crown by scoring a techni- cal knockout over Mike Ballerino of Bayonne. N. J., at Los Angeles.
 Charley (PhiD Rosenberg, New York. bantamweight champion Of the world. lost a decision to Cali fornia Joe Lynch of San Francisco. at Oakland, but not the title, both men fighting over weight.
 Ballerino opened with terrific assault and gamely tried to carry the attack to the challenger throughout. but the northwestern boy, with eight inches longer reach. punished him severely and the Bayonne slugger's seconds threw a towel into the ring near the close of the tenth round. Bal lerino had taken one count of nine, another of three. and was groggy when his aides called halt. The champion weighed 129 3-4 pounds and the challenger 12S.
 The Lynch Rosenberg go was a sIashing affair for ten rounds. with the title holder slightly the aggres- sor, but Lynch's two handed coun- ter attack had much to do in giv- ing him the edge. Lynch took two rounds, Rosenberg one, with seven even. The San Francisco boys most spectacular work came in the sixth round when he staggered the New Yorker with a hard right to the jaw, Rosenberg weighed 121 1-2 and Lynch 122.
