 She could be safely dashed in this position. experts thought. until re- fueling operations could be con- pleted. To make the test more con- plete refueling equipment was placed with which such operations could be simulated.
 Satisfied that the test was q suc- cess 1t was an easy matter for Con- mander Rosendahl to cast off from the Saratoga and point the big ship back toward her hangar.
 Rear Admiral Moffett records the test as showing that it is practica- ble to land lighter than air ships on commercial as well as naval carriers. He called particular attention to the value of the test in that it shows that the possibilities of refueling Q dirigible at sea have been greatly increased.
 The cruising radius of dirigibles at sea would be limited only by their distance from the fuel ship if further tests prove its practicAbility under various conditions.
 It was assumed that the test was made on a calm sea, but further ex- periments may show the possibility of such operations even in heavy sea.
 Kept Plans Secret
 The bureau of aeronautics had been planning the experiment for some time but the secret was closely guarded. Official photographs were made of the test, and will probably be made available to the press of the world.
 The Los Angeles feat also should serve as an impetus to plans for transatlantic service with reliance placed on refueling It sea If nec- essary. The dirigibles could carry & much larser load of freight or passengers. 1t was pointed out. since they would not have. to be 50 heavily burdened with fuel.

New Jersey wawant charging htm with larceny Of tho plane ''1pitdoFf," was released when the court sustained . demurrer filed by his counsel. which contended that he was being held at the jail with out proper process.
 Acosta was brought before the court on . writ of habsas corpus and the state. or more particularly. Sherift James 0cddes. was asked to show causs why he should not ba freed on the appeal bond placed yesterday afternoon. Assistant States Attorney Edland told the court that the only paper which he had was . warrant signed by Jus tice of the Peace James G. Moore of Bergen county, N. J. Attorney Rocco Ierardi. appearing for Acosta. declared that this warrant WAS not sufficient and must be accompanied by some Connecticut process in order to be binding.
 The court declared . recess to give Edland time to consult the statutes on this point.
 When court had again convened Attorney Edland said that the New Jersey warrant WAS still all he had to hold Acosta on.
 Judge Pickett declared that . warrant from another state was not extraterritorial and that the state statutes very clearly held that an Out-of-the.state warrant should be filed with the city attorney where tho prisoner is held, accompanied by an afi1davit from the office sent to get the prisoner. This afhdavit must contain the essential facts and if satisfactory to the prosecuting attorney the prisoner must then be arraigned on a fugitive of justice warrant in q city court.
 If the court considers, Judge Pickett said. that tho warrant and afidavit arc all in due form. the prisoner is then remanded until such time as extradition proceedings have been arranged.

Unselhshness

The kindly and unselfiSh man has
many happy days; resolved to do the
best he can to comfort stricken jays,
he finds, while he purSues his plan,
his troubles go their ways. Have l a
green pain in my neck, chilblain in
my heel, and shall call on Pete and
Heck and tell how tough feel? Across
the road there lives a wreck who needs
a good square meal. Misfortune has
been on his trail a long, long time,
know; he lately served term in jail,
which was drastic blow; and he is
weary, sick and pale, an ef1gy of woe.
I'll cheer him up as best may, I'll see
him in his coop, and take him sharks
fms from Cathay and wholesome birds
nest soup; I'll strive to make him blithe
and gay, so he will smile and whoop.
SuppreSsing then my groanS and croakS,
/ venture to his shack and cheer his
soul with Sprightly jokes from john
sons Almanac, and load him up with
scent smokes and pretzelS from my
pack. And thus achieving, forget the
grief that made me sigh: the ache that
was my special pet has said to me good
by; the pain that seemed a sure thing
bet decided it would fly. We concen-
trate upon our ills, we nurse our little
woes; our thoughts are all of patent
pills and dope and things like those;
we worry over debts and bills until our
lives shall close. We think about our
selves too much as we go down the
years; il we were wise we'd get in touch
with others ills and fears; help out
some cripple on crutch. or dry wild
ows tears. I'm pretty sure my heart
would break If mourned all alone: in
thinking of another's ache soon for
get my own, and so I hand a pie or
cake to those who sigh and moan.
