Transatlantic Dirigible Service.

II is announced that a dirigible air
ship Is now nearing completion at How
den. England. that is designed for
Transatlantic passenger service. This 10
described as the largest ever built, hav-
ing gas capacity Of I'VE million cubic
feet. with motors capable Of four thou
SAND two hundred horsepower and with
accommodations for one hundred pas
sengers. II is expected that 1t win be
capable Of making the flight from Lon
don TO New York In forty-eight hours.
The managing director OF the corpora
ton which is building this giant air.
ship is soon TO sail for New York TO
complete arrangements for the FIRST
flight Of the Rio. which win prob
ably take place early in the Spring.
The successful airplane flights across
the Atlantic last Summer gave great
stimulus TO the plans for regular trans
atlantic passenger service by air. The
achievements Of Lindbergh. Chamber
lin and Byrd did not in themselves ad-
vance commercial oceanic flying. for II
is recognized that the practical aerial
passenger service must be on a larger
scale than by the heavier than-air ma
chine as 1t is now developed or con-
ternplated. The dirigible alone can
carry enough passengers 10 make such
an enterprise economically feasible.
Yet. the dirigble. with itS great bulk,
Offering q large resistance area 10 the
winds, is not viewed with any high de-
gree Of confidence for scheduled opera
ton, and 10 be a practical success
tFansoceanic service must be regular
and not intermittent.
The first flight u the Rio will evoke
the keenest interest, for IL may demon
s.rate the degree Of dependability of
dirlgibie service The fare VIII be
about 900, which IL rather nigh. But
II is 10 be- borne In mind that forty
eight hour service between the two cap.
itass, separated by about 1900 miles is
after all. q luxury and must be paid
for accordingly.

What are the compensations OF mod
ern life for the loss OF the space and
quiet of the oldtime livingP
In the old days-and they were not
so long ago---men had more elbow room,
as It were, both In the matter of land
and homes.
Even city crowdng had failed to
limit homes to eighteenth lots. and
there were scores Of houses In city
limits proper set In grounds that nj
lowed children plenty of space to play,
Life then gave the effect Of more
space In which to move and breathe.
This was particularly noticeable inside
the homes themselves. with their huge
windows, high ceilings, and mighty
halls
As for the matter of quiet. the one
item of the automobile alone has
spelled the difference between peace
and quiet and eternal turmoil. In adj
dtion, there are several other factors
such as radios and parties" which
have added materially to the increase
of constant noise especially in the
cities.
The good old habit OF going to bed
with the chickens" is not feasible any
more. In many sections. simply on aC-
count of the neighbors. who insist on
staying up until midnight or there
after, and. equally. on making plenty
of noise until their own retirement.
II must be asked. therefore. by peo-
pie of keen senslblitics, what are some
of the compensations which help make
up for the loss of beautiful quiet and
wonderful space? One would not in
clude the factor of vista. although he
might like to do So In the old days,
more of us had q chance to live In
places where hills, trees, streams
clouds, greeted the beholder. Today
too many are confined. by economic
necessity, to live in communities that
have no vista whatever, with only a
few trees. or none, without views, In
the real sense of that word, in any
direction.
There are several compensations.
however for all this, and It Is well to
keep them in mind. They are, as far
as we can see, four in number:
/. Electricity.
2. Modern plumbing.
3. Modern heating
T. Franker knowledge.
When one thinks Of modern living In
terms of the electric light. he is in
clined to feel that here one has some
thing real definite and solid with
which to balance any loss from previ-
Gus ages.
What gift Thomas A. Edison gave
mankind when he presented it with
his first crude carbon light Surely
this is the supreme invention Of this
miracle worker. eve believe he has
said so himself.) Certainly the cleo
trio light. in its various forms. has
added UNNECESSARILY to living.
The writer wildly recalls when "elec-
trio lights" first came TO his home town.
They superseded the oil lamps. with
their constant drudgery and care The
electric lights were either on long cords
or on ugly sorts OF chandeliers, he for
gets which.
There were no shades over the bulbs,
which glarcd with naked simplicity
upon the Just and the unjust alike. as
did Portals gentle rain" Yet the
common-sense of every home owner rec
ognized their worth an1 utility. To be
able to have light at the touch-ah!

Indy Bumps the Bumps.

Lindbergh writes that he found the
going between San Salvador and
Tegucigalpa, Honduras, where he ar
rived yesterday. the toughest in all his
career in the air. For about a quarter
Of an hour. when he was passing over
the mountains, he was thrown into
series OF bumps and jerks that tossed
him about In the cabin until his head
hit the roof This rough air. he eX-
plains, was caused by north wind
striking air blowing from another direc-
ton, creating series of freakiSh cur
rents. Once upon time, he notes, these
currents were enormously called "air
pockets" When the plane passes through
one current it sinks into a second and
drops. so suddenly that the passenger
Is levitated abruptly. In some instances
pilots and passengers have been tossed
clear out of their planes by these abrupt
descents unless they are strapped in by
safety belts.
This remarkable young man. who is
rated as one OF the best flyers who
ever took off from the ground. goes on
to say in his account Of the trip, that
1.-The plane was not difficult to handle
under these conditions. and really no
dcnger exists in them for the expert
enced pilot" There is exactly the point
Of the whole matter of flying. Expert
ence is necessary. But sometimes the
flyer is put out Of commission while
gaining that experience. What Lind
bergh has in mind in this comment
undoubtedly is that the flyer who does
not take needless chances. who studies
his way, who feels" his ship at all
times, need not be upset by the unseen
inequalities of the air currents. Elk
pcrience, plus skill!

OUR UNSPOKEN
CREED.
BY GLENN FRANK.

President Of University Of Wisconsin and
Former Editor Of the Century Magazine
Most Of us have two creeds In poll
tics and religion.
We have a spoken creed that de-
scribes what we think we believe.
We have an unspoken creed that de-
ternines what we actually do.
The unspoken creed is more impof-
tant than the spoken creed
Since one of the fundamental issues
of my time In the neW-Old assault on
democracy, have given many hours
to study Of the underlying philogo-
ply OF democracy. / have accumu-
lated on my bookshelVes and in my
files a very comprehensive literature On
the nature and aims of democracy
From that literature / have been
able to compile clear and comprehen-
sive statement of democracy's spoken
creed, and that spoken creed Is an in
spring and challenging thing. No won
der that millions were easily stirred To
fight TO make the world safe for
democracy.
But when one Journeys from the
library to the legislature, the contrast
between the spoken creed and the un-
spoken creed OF democracy Is disillu-
sioning.
The next great advance in the per-
lection Of the teChniques Of self-gov-
eminent will come from a study, not
Of the spoken creed. but of the I'M
spoken creed, Of democracy.
1t Is not democracy's aspirations, but
democracys actions, that must be our
point Of departure.
Happily, many students of govern
ment, Ike Faguet. Lippmann. Dewey.
Inge, Rabbit, Angel whose writings
are read outside the cloisters OF schoI-
arship,. are dealing with democracy's
unSpoken creed.
Here are some of the unspoken be-
licfs that govern democracy's opera
tons
The individual government Of igno-
rant people is menace TO wise au-
thority. but wholesale referendum Of
individual judgments is the final au-
thority.
Folly, II there is enough of it. some
how becomes, by ballot-box magic, wis
dom.
II democracy can win power, the use
Of power will somehow take care of
itself
If. we multiply wrong conclusions
enough times, they become right con-
clusions.
The voice Of the people is the voice
OF God. whether the people are godlike
or not.
If We punish people for breaking good
laws, we need not concern ourselves
with people who make bad laws.
Democracy is just now in a sort OF
twilight zone between the effective con-
quest Of power and the effective use Of
power. but it will never achieve the ef-
=
its time lauding its spoken creed, for 1t
is its unspoken creed that makes it
what 1t is.
