adventure that the conflict promised.
No ordinary fellow. this young
Zeppelin. lie was willing 70 dare
anything - volunteering for service
w the captive balloons then being
used for the first time as an adjunct
10 warfare. He made ascents and
hasty descents - ballooning was in
the hazardous experimental stage in
those days.
But young Zepplin came out Of
the war unscathed, returning 70 his
native land in search Of new excite
ment. And he carried back with him
an idea, a desire 10 build something
that might take him speedily TO the
far orner Of the earth.
Watched French Balloons
Then came 1870. the Franco
Prussian war and the siege Of PARIS.
The Young German officer. more sea
soned now. watched the balloons ris-
ing from the French city. And not
long after, 1873. his great idea took
form in the design 81 a rigid airship,
divided into compartments.

signed from the Germany army, he

airship. He had srcnt much Of his
time In the intervening years trying
to convince his people and his gov
eminent that the idea or developing
commercial airships of the rigid type
would prove d benefit 10 the nation
and mankind. lie sought 20 arouse
enough interest TO warrant the build

Bv 1894. Zeppelin was 50 then. he
submitted plans for a dirigible. not
unlike those Of the mammoth Grsf
Zeppelin Of today. 10 a special com
mittee Of German scientists. The
designs. while they contained no seri-
Gus fault. were not recommended NV
the committee. las members were
skeptical.
The First Zeppelin
So Zeppelin struck out for himself.
By July .. 1900, he had enlisted
enough private capital and had ron
structed. at Manzell. near Friedrich
shafen on Lake Constance. the first
OF the Zeppelins. known as the LII.
Measuring il9 feet long and with a
diameter Of 81 feet the LII was q
giant in those days. The seronaut-
ical world was skeptical. II expected
Zeppelin 10 fail.
But he had promised a flight and

reject this theory OF license taxation
and point out that 1t has been almost
universally discarded by other cities.
The committee win merely recon-
mend high enough fees to pay for the
expenses of inspection and regulation
of the licensed businesses.
In some cases this will result in
a considerable increase in the present
fees, but in other instances it may
result in reductions.
One of the biggest increases Is
expected to come in the fees charged
for licenses to operate moving pic
ture theaters Movies require con-
siderable inspection work and the
present fee is entirely inadequate.
Among the industries which prob
ably viii benefit from the new code,
however, is the florist business.
Florists are now required to pay
license fees, but they are not in
spected by the District government
and probably will not be required
to take out licenses in the future,
! if the committees report is adopted.
The committees biggest job has
| not been to decide how much to
ClAESe IOFt~ license lees. however,
but to decide what businesses should
| be licensed.
New License Test
The present license code has many
occupations listed which are no
longer existent. On the other hand,
many businesses which have sprung
up within recent years and need
regulation are not Eequired to take
out licenses.
The recommendation, therefore,
will include an entirely new list of
business which should be required
to take out licenses as well as
new scale of license fees.
The committee is composed of
Assistant Corporation Counsel Ring
gold Hart, Superintendent OF
Licenses Wade III. Coombs and
Donald p. Evans, of the Bureau
Of Efficiency. Representative Glib
son Is expected to try to get the
committees recommendation incor-
porated into law during the coming
session of Congress.
